Hong Kong Tram Ride

This is a must-do activity at least once when traveling to Hong Kong. The trams are iconic and a very cheap but slow way to tour the northern part of Hong Kong Island. It also gets very busy and packed. For the best chance of getting the best seats, go to the end terminus and get on there.

Hong Kong Tramways (HKT) is 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge tram system in Hong Kong. Owned and operated by RATP Dev, the tramway runs on Hong Kong Island between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, with a branch circulating through Happy Valley.

Another must ride when in Hong Kong apart from the ferry. The tram has plenty of stops with its own stations in between roads. Super convenient way to travel within the route, plenty of trams plying so you do not have to wait long. They now accept Visa Card (credit, debit, prepaid) as a form of payment by tapping on the reader when you alight from the tram.

The Ding Dings are a cherished part of Hong Kong's present and past that can be easily enjoyed by visitors who spend time on Hong Kong Island. These slow moving tramcars have been plying their way along the streets of Hong Kong Island since 1904 with the same look and feel that passengers would have experienced a 100 years ago. For the cheap fare of HK$2.30 per adult and HK$1.2 per child, you can catch one of the Ding Ding trams going west and east from Kennedy Town all the way to Chai Wan, passing many historic districts and neighbourhoods, the massive skyscrapers in the Central Business District, the shopping mecca in Causeway Bay and Victoria Park. There are many tram stops and quite a few Ding-Dings on the street so you never have to wait long to find one that you can board. If one passes by and is full, just wait a few minutes for the next Ding-Ding. If there is room on the top deck, we suggest going there as the views are much better. Upstair seats provide you with much better views of the interesting street scenes along the tram line. This is especially true after dark, when you want to have high vantage position to see the neon and bright street signs you will pass during your journey. In the end, Ding Ding trams are not just a important link to Hong Kong's past, they are a heritage treasure and something that we regularly enjoy using during our own leisure time. If visitors have time we highly recommend adding this to your bucket-list of things to see when in Hong Kong.

Lovin the experience riding the famous tram "ding ding" of HK island. Although the ride was not as smooth as MTR but hey.. just focus on the city view! You'll love it!

“Great way to see lots” We jumped o a tram and took pot luck where we'd end up, as it was we got to Shau Kei Wan Markets, we got off there and strolled around, just wished we were staying in a hotel with a kitchen, seeing all that produce I would have love to cooked with. This is a great way to see many places that you would not probably get time to see let alone not knowing that they were there. Best of all it worked out to be about 40 cents one way each, one tip take small denomination coins as they don't give change.
