It's not only a great way to people watch, but getting on a tram will allow you to see the various neighborhoods of Hong Kong, from the modern glass and concrete skyscrapers of the financial district, the ritzy designer shops in the shopping mecca of Causeway Bay, the energy of the race track (you can see the horses race from the tram!) to densely packed residential apartments and street level open air markets.

Trams run frequently during peak hours. You'll only have to wait 90 seconds before the next one comes by. So load up your Octopus Card and give yourself a couple hours to go back and forth from Shau Kei Wan to Kennedy Town. Look! Here comes the next tram...
*Residents of Hong Kong call the trams "DingDing" after the double bell sound that warns pedestrians of a tram's approach.
I think I could sit on one of these all day and just ride back and forth across the city. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun .:D My fav thing is they're called "dingding".
ReplyDeleteYes! DingDing! Very cute...
DeleteThat looks like a lot of fun! I went to JFK Airport once, and they had these amazing air trains!
