Trams of Wan Chai



Stepping out onto the streets of Wan Chai district is like taking a step back in time . There are trams everywhere !





The trams are known locally as Ding Ding because of the light clanging sound from the bell, used to warn traffic and pedestrians of their approach.



It's an awesome,magical experience you won't want to miss when you are on Hong Kong Island



Riding one however, is quite a challenge because you need coins or an Octopus travel card. Also you need to know your destination and when exactly you want to get off.

While it is not exactly easy, it's worth a try at least once. No worries about getting lost. Each tram is numbered and you only need to remember which side of the road you were dropped off on.
