Lok Ma Chau 落馬洲

--HONG KONG--

"Lok Ma Chau Spur Line provides a fast and convenient new way for passengers to cross the boundary and travel to Shenzhen. To get there, passengers can simply board a train heading for Lok Ma Chau at any station between East Tsim Sha Tsui and Sheung Shui along East Rail. No interchange is required" (From KCRC Website). Lies...Lok Ma Chau Spur Line is new, but, really inconvenient, once you go down the escalator, you can never go back up. Also, recently, before opening, KCR showed commercials promising companies that hundreds of people will alight on every train. Another lie, there were barely even 20 people on that 12-car train (and that was peak hour). When I walked past the shops, all the clerks and shopkeepers were literally grabbing for me. And the beautiful wetland they promised? Well, that was only the size of the station and was very poor in appearance. Well, overall, Lok Ma Chau is only a bit better than the overcrowded Lo Wu, with better in technology in the toilets :P
