Exhibitions
CLP Pulse is a dedicated venue for community engagement. In ElectriCity, through collections of carefully selected exhibits and images as well as interactive experiences on multimedia platforms, we aim to reconnect the community with the story of CLP’s resilience and innovation in powering Hong Kong reliably. The CLP story reflects the passion and commitment of Hong Kong people in pursuing a new era of sustainable development.
Our Home · Our History, on the other hand, narrates the stories of Kadoorie businesses and charitable interests that helped Hong Kong rehabilitate and thrive after the war. Traces of Human Touch leads visitors to appreciate the unique intangible cultural heritage of Hong Kong by highlighting the adorable traditional Chinese craftmanship. The interactive presentation also portrays the innovative twists the new generation artists made from the traditional arts.

Is electricity visible? What is the significance of electricity to you, to society, and to the world?

The Cafe
Take a break at our cafe and enjoy a moment of reflection surrounded by memories of the CLP clock tower’s rich history.
The Garden
Just take a few steps away from our Cafe, you will reach our Garden, an exquisite space sitting adjacent to Kadoorie Hill. Strolling in the Garden, one shall recollect the reminiscences of the evolution of Kadoorie Hill - a barren land in the past provides quality modern residences today. Visitors can also stand next to the extension of the clock tower and appreciate at close range the original external wall piece, the iron window frames, joints and glass panels in Modernism design which are rarely found nowadays. Wander around and discover more idyllic and photogenic spots by yourself.
A Retired 5th Generation Tram Car of the Peak Tram
The first cable car system in Hong Kong went into service in 1888. The Peak tramcar in the garden is a fifth-generation model introduced a century later in 1989. It carried 120 passengers and was retired in 2021.
