Jointly organised by the MTR Corporation and the Hong Kong Origami Society, the exhibition is being held at the upper platform of MTR Tin Hau Station from today (23 January) to 23 February 2008. The exhibition features over 100 Chinese New Year origami artworks, including blossoms symbolizing wealth, good fortune and good prospects, as well as tangerines representing an abundance of happiness.
