Leading up to the time celebrating the year’s bountiful harvest, the Northern Link (NOL) project team visited different communities along the NOL alignment to share and enjoy the festive season. "As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, we have prepared 'lucky' bags and brought along the 'Northern Link Lantern Riddle Game' for nearby residents to understand more about the project," said Mr Dominic Law, Project Manager – Northern Link of MTR Corporation.

Cracking the lantern riddle is a kind of must-do activity amidst a Mid-Autumn Festival event! The contents of the NOL lantern riddles are all based on knowledge and fun facts about this new railway project and the communities along the alignment. Taking part in the riddle challenge, residents could understand more about the NOL project and win souvenirs.

The interactive mini-games designed by the NOL project team were also well-received by the residents. By experiencing the fun, participants could better visualise and understand how the commissioning of the NOL will facilitate more connected mobility and community vitality. During the game period, Mr Dominic Law, Project Manager – Northern Link of MTR Corporation chatted with the audience and shared, "NOL will connect the East Rail Line and Tuen Ma Line, enabling the development of areas along the alignment. It’s estimated that the journey time between Kwu Tung Station and Kam Sheung Road Station will only be around 12 minutes, providing greater convenience to the communities."

Dominic Law, Project Manager – Northern Link of MTR Corporation and his team played interactive games with residents to enable them to learn more about the alignment of the NOL, the new stations and key benefits.
