The displays carried the theme of "A Fantastic Tour to the Dynamic City of Hong Kong". The HKETCO revamped the double-decker tram model exhibited during the Hong Kong Week 2015 with a new design, and screened inside the compartment a video clip containing sketches of Hong Kong's streets, giving the visitors a real-time experience in the dynamic city of Hong Kong.
