In the old Tai Po Market station, which was built in 1913, this small museum has old railway carriages to explore, a narrow gauge engine, photographs of the opening of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, and coaches dating back to 1911 on the outside tracks.

Tai Po’s attractions are included in a self-guided walk, for which there is audio equipment which can be borrowed from the Hong Kong Tourist Board, Star Ferry Concourse.
