I love travelling on the ‘Ding Dings’!

The tram line has been carrying passengers from the East to the West of Hong Kong Island since 1904 (more specifically travelling from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan).

It’s a wonderful way to explore the city, because you’re not going too fast, which allows you time to take in the sights (and smells). And the best part? All for just HK$2 which is equivalent to approximately SG$0.40!!! It was especially convenient for me because it took me about 10mins to get to Central. Sweet!

How to travel on the ding ding

1. When you’re at the tram stop, find out which direction you should be going by looking at the tram guide
2. When the tram comes to a stop, ENTRY is from the back door.
3. No payment until you EXIT the tram
4. When you’re near your stop, I’d suggest you start making your way (or more like wiggling and squeezing your way) to the front
5. There’s a coin box or Octopus card scanner next to the tram operator at the front. Pay when you exit.

If you want to know why it’s called the ‘Ding Ding’, visit the Discover Hong Kong tram guide website and the flash splash page will give you your answer.

Loved the adidas branded Ding Ding!
