- Hong Kong Tramways is a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge tram system in Hong Kong. The tramway runs on Hong Kong Island between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, with a branch circulating through Happy Valley.
Hong Kong's tram system is one of the earliest forms of public transport in the metropolis, having opened in 1904 under British rule. It has used electric trams since its inauguration, and has never used horse or steam power. It owns the world's largest operational double-decker tram fleet, and is a very rare example of a tram system that uses them exclusively.
The system is popular with tourists, and is one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling in the city. Hong Kong people informally call the tramway the "Ding Ding" and the trams as "Ding Dings", in reference to the double-bell ring used by the trams to warn pedestrians of their approach.
Relative to buses and the subway system, trams are often the cheapest public transportation option. As of 31 July 2022, HKT fares are $3.0 for adults, $1.5 for children, and $1.3 for senior citizens. Passengers pay upon alighting by either depositing the exact fare in coins into the farebox, or by using an Octopus card.[17] Turnstiles at the tram entrances and closed circuit television prevent fare evasion by passengers.
The trams run on a double-track tram line built parallel to the northern coastline of Hong Kong Island from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, with a single clockwise-running track of about 3 km (1.9 mi) around the Happy Valley Racecourse.
There are six overlapping routes:
Kennedy Town ↔ Happy Valley
Kennedy Town ↔ Shau Kei Wan
Shek Tong Tsui ↔ Causeway Bay
Shek Tong Tsui ↔ North Point
Western Market ↔ Shau Kei Wan
Happy Valley ↔ Shau Kei Wan
Sightseeing tours are available on antique-style tramcar No. 68, which has an open balcony and a historical exhibit on board. Sightseeing tram boarding and alighting take place at the sightseeing tour termini: Western Market and Causeway Bay.

I lived in HK 2001-2005, just a few blocks from North Point market (on Wharf Road) so it was nice to follow this ride again. HK is very dear to me and I still visit my local friends frequently (last time was in january 2020 and I'm itching to come back). What a day you picked to shoot this video! Beautiful blue skies, I really miss those rare days in Hong Kong. Thanks for the video😀💯
The North Point market where the ' Ding Ding ' goes in & out has the best Shrimp noodles (many brands but here is the best). My cousin always brings me some when she is visiting Bangkok.
The ' Ding Ding ' is a must when I was in Hong Kong from my home in Bangkok. I was a student in Hong Kong from 1956-65 & staying with my 4th Auntie (my second Mom) on Tai Hang Road. After college in America, I always took my late Mom to HK, especially during the Handover in 1997 many times. I would find half a day to go on the double-deck ' Ding Ding '
VISITORS TO HK SHOULD TAKE A RIDE IN THIS ROMANTIC ' DING DING '!
Nevertheless, this video is too long & could be shortened to just half an hour - otherwise, it is so BORING.
Thanks for your comment~ Happy New Year

Thanks so much^^
Sydney Australia & the rest of Dock double tram buses from the upper second deck like a ferry with two storey building like with Victorian two storey building’s fromthe steel awnings balconies with the bridge extending out from the buildings & tram. While cutting cost in architecture where developers refuse to spend any additional money in avoiding to build platforms or stations.As remember been proven in Hong Kong & parts of Paris.
I live hk. Very good city in the world. Nice vedio tq for vdio.🇭🇰
Thanks for your comment~Happy New Year^^
The best timing to visit HK when there was no PRC people.
와 그리운홍콩을 이런 초고화질로 찍어주시다니ㅠ exchange스퀘어에서 밤에 리펄스베이맨션으로 가는 영상 ,침사추이에서 홍함으로 가는 (홍콩체육관보이는 도로)영상도찍어주셨음좋겠어요ㅠ 감사합니다!!:)
Ding Ding also in Toronto street cars !
Cool vid. What camera do you use?
2階建ての路面電車も面白いが3階建て路面電車も開発し使用して欲しい！20年前に多かったネオン看板が無いのが残念です！3階建て路面電車で天井が透明ガラスになって入れば景色が見れます！

Hi, what kind of camera did you use for this? The quality is pretty good.
Hi, I use GoPro Hero 10 and DJI^^ Thanks for watching~
@@followmyeyes16 I see, the video quality is amazing. Thanks for your reply and have a nice day!
I have never seen Hongkong had that few pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
Imagine if there was articulated versions of these!

Why no other city suburb or Chinese owned suburb has been able to replicate it transport system outside of Hong Kong/China ?
I see so many buses that I have to wonder if these trams, and all the required infrastructure & road space is worth it? Are they still an effective mode of public transport or are they kept around for tourism? Of course being electric is a plus, but they just seem to consume so much of the crowded precious road space, and they appear to be so slow.
The cheap fare (HK$3 ~ US$0.4), high frequency and great accessibility makes them very useful for short-distance travel in Hong Kong Island. During peak hours trams are actually quite packed.
你看到缺點.正是它的優點.路的中間慢慢行，賣廣告不需太快。
What camcorder did you shoot the video with?
go pro and DJI
I see he ran a few red lights.
