Exhibition Centre Station Public Transport Interchange, bus terminus in Wan Chai North, Hong Kong
Exhibition Centre Station is an underground railway stop on the MTR East Rail line located in Wan Chai North on Hong Kong Island. Above ground, a major public transport interchange connects dozens of bus routes while the station itself features two levels with train platforms below and exits with shops and services above.
The station opened in May 2022 as part of the Shatin to Central Link project that began construction around 2017 to connect the New Territories with Hong Kong Island. During underground construction, unexploded World War II bombs were discovered in the area and later displayed inside the station as historical artifacts.
The station takes its name from the nearby Convention and Exhibition Centre, reflecting the area's role as a major business and event hub. The underground space displays local history through artworks like 'Water Memory' and a preserved World War II bomb casing, reminding visitors of the district's past and transformation.
The station operates daily from early morning until just before midnight with trains arriving every few minutes during peak times. Multiple exits connect smoothly to bus routes, shops, and nearby venues, while elevated walkways provide shelter and direct access to the Convention and Exhibition Centre and surrounding areas.
A notable feature is the preserved World War II bomb casing displayed inside the station, discovered during 2018 construction and safely removed following evacuation procedures. This remnant from the war offers visitors an unexpected historical encounter beneath the busy modern transport hub.
