Hong Kong Tramways 🇭🇰

#hongkongtrip Ding-Dings are essential to Hong Kong and a popular activity for city visitors. These double-decker trams have been sweeping the streets of Hong Kong Island since 1904, offering cheap trips to locals and a great experience for tourists for more than a century. Although the beloved name (Ding Ding) is officially known as Hong Kong Tramways, it refers to the sound of the bell that erupts when trams announce a stop to drop off and pick up passengers. In short, these are slowly moving trams that make their way through different areas of Hong Kong Island, taking Hong Kong’s local markets, restaurants and skyscrapers along the way. There are many stations so you can enter or get off every 50 to 100 meters, whenever and wherever you want. There Are Quite A Few Ding-dings So You Don’t Have To Wait Long To Ride One. During Normal Times, Ding-dings Can Be Very Full. When this happens, just wait for the next one to roll over to the ding-ding station and climb into it instead. The best views are upstairs where you have better views of the streets and market scenes around you. If you’re tall, the basement can present challenges to see outside. There are six different routes from Kennedy City in the west to Shan Ky-Wan in the east. Trams run from 5.45am to midnight every day, depending on the route. Flights are now HK$2.60 per adult and HK$2.30 per child. It is better to pay with an octopus card. Note that you will pay for your trip when you exit Ding Ding. The ascent occurs from the back. Then just find a seat and enjoy your trip. When exiting, press your octopus card or drop your coins even next to the driver. Payments are not taken and the change is not provided by the driver, so make the payment accurate ready when you leave.
