2 February 2005 Launch of Brand New Sold Octopus "Pearl of the Orient 2005"
|
Octopus Cards Limited announces the debut of the brand new Sold Octopus "Pearl of the Orient 2005", which will be on sale at the designated transport stations and convenience stores from 3 February onwards.
The "Pearl of the Orient 2005" series takes the theme of Hong Kong's famous and ubiquitous attractions with three designs: Pearl of Blessings - The Big Buddha (for adult), Pearl of Glory - Golden Bauhinia (for elder), and Pearl of Connection – Tsing Ma Bridge (for child). They are Hong Kong's proud landmarks, with significance to the territory's history, and representing its triumphs of engineering. The Big Buddha is the world's most colossal outdoor seat bronze Buddha; the Golden Bauhinia was a gift from the central government to celebrate the establishment of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, and the Tsing Ma Bridge is the world's longest suspension bridge carrying both road and rail traffic.
