Hong Kong Tramways

🥺 I went in a hurry without any strategy, really at a loss! I took many detours and missed many places, this post will help you avoid pitfalls⬇️⬇️ Don't take the bus to cross the sea! It charges based on the distance from the boarding station to the terminal station, the first time I got on the bus it cost me almost 30, it was so expensive!!! The subway is fast and cheap Wear a pair of comfortable shoes! Most of the time you have to walk, especially in Central + Mong Kok area The weather is still around 20 degrees, it will be very hot and sunny in the morning, do a good job of sun protection, and wear a jacket at night to prevent catching a cold The 711 coming out of the airport is unlikely to buy the cheapest and most cost-effective SIM card (the $39 one), it is recommended to directly get a Hong Kong package, you can connect to the internet as soon as you land If you go to Hong Kong and Macau together, just get a five-day Hong Kong and Macau package, the internet speed is very fast, and it's not expensive! Octopus is really convenient, in addition to the subway and tram, convenience stores and most restaurants can be swiped! It is recommended to exchange about 800 cash💰 for two people, it's almost enough, if you have more, you can't use it (you can use it in Macau if you have more) Jenny's little bear🍪 is very delicious, it still has the taste of childhood, but there is a high probability that you will have to queue up, unless you go very early, it is recommended to buy directly from the official🍑 and send it home, saving time for play, and you don't have to carry it in your hand Kam Tong😋 roast goose is really really really delicious! It's the light of my Hong Kong, it's very popular, you can call in advance to make a reservation (you can only use a Hong Kong phone number) I'll add more when I think of it!!!

#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.

The tram is one of Hong Kong’s most iconic forms of transport and has been in service in 1904. It’s been running along the streets of Hong Kong for some 100 years now, making it one of the world’s oldest tramway systems. Every time the tram pulls into a stop, it will first emit the sound of “ding ding ding” which is why people refer to trams as “ding ding.” Ding Dings are driven along the major areas on the Hong Kong Island. From Sai Wan, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay down to North Point you can find these trams. As such, roads lined with tram tracks are also a significant and iconic mark of Hong Kong. Ding Dings bear witness to Hong Kong’s centennial history. Therefore, apart from being a form of transport, it is also an icon of our times. Back then, taking rides on the tram for an extended period of time was a romantic, leisurely activity. For many older generation of Hongkongers, this is a great memory and remains so for many others nowadays. There are also many retro and unique designs and types of Ding Dings. Perhaps you might have ridden on one of those 60s style trams seen in Stephen Chow’s “CJ7?”
