The summer-exclusive themed Light Rail has entirely embraced the CHIIKAWA theme -- following the setting of the story with grasslands and forests as the background with Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi and friends together.
The special train will run along Light Rail routes in Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai on weekdays until August 31. On weekends, it will operate along the "Tuen Mun Voyager" sightseeing route, offering more immersive and photo-taking opportunities for fans and passengers.
The debut ceremony commenced today with excited fans. One of the fans conveyed appreciation for the themed design and was honored to participate in the ceremony, even writing a song with his friends to express their mutual enjoyment of CHIIKAWA.
