ElectriCity
Is electricity visible? What is the significance of electricity to you, to society, and to the world?
Through collections of carefully selected artefacts, video clips, and interactive exhibits, this themed exhibition shows how CLP makes invisible electricity visible from social, historical, architectural, scientific, and environmental perspectives by experiential activities.

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. The garden also features two distinctive murals created by local artists, drawing inspiration from the iconic clock and the plumeria trees within the garden. Blending architectural and natural elements, the artworks offer more photo-worthy spots for visitors to enjoy.
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 that served Hong Kong from 1989 to 2021.
Featuring artwork created to celebrate CLP's 125th anniversary, the artwork traces Hong Kong's development over more than a century and reflects CLPʼs shared journey with the city.
