Day 2: Hong Kong Tramways
Activity 2: Hong Kong Tramways
Hong Kong Tramways, affectionately known as the “Ding Ding,” offers a unique and nostalgic way to experience the city's vibrant urban landscape. Riding the tram is more than just transportation—it's an immersion into the daily life and history of Hong Kong. Passengers can enjoy slow, scenic journeys through bustling streets, historic neighborhoods, and modern skyscrapers, all while seated in the charming double-decker trams. The open windows allow for a refreshing breeze and unobstructed views of the city’s dynamic skyline.
