Most of us ride the MTR fairly often, if not every day. Some of us have even memorised all the stations along our habitual train lines. But have we ever paused to think about the names of the stations themselves and where they came from? Use your local history knowledge—mixed with a dash of guessing skills—and take the quiz to see how well you know the stories behind the MTR stations of Hong Kong. Some of these might surprise you!
Be honest: How many of these trivia questions on the origins of Hong Kong’s MTR station names did you get right? Take our quiz again if you want to take another stab at a better score, or share this quiz with your friends and see how well they can guess the stories behind the names.
