At the former site of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway Station stands a memorial park, which is used to be the starting point of the route connecting Guangzhou and Tsim Sha Tsui of Hong Kong back in 1911.
An old-style steam locomotive, two railroad cars of vintage green trains alongside 300-meter rail tracks and sleepers are on display in the park, reproducing the scene of the station over a century ago. The porch and fences have also been rebuilt as part of the landscape design.
Besides, a train timetable and mileage records are presented in the park, with a carved roadmap of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway on the ground. In 2023, the place was awarded as the most creative pocket park of Guangzhou.
