[2025 Hong Kong ] Travel Guide for Hong Kong Tramways (Ding Ding) (Updated Jun)

When you think of Hong Kong, you think of the double-decker tram 🚃 Taking a photo with a tram in it makes it look very Hong Kong-like 📸 The best way to take photos is to sit in the front row on the second floor of the tram! Photos 1 to 4 were all taken from the front row on the second floor of the tram ✨ Just taking a photo with the tram in it is full of Hong Kong-like atmosphere, and I like all of my photos ☺️ It's also great to take videos while it's moving ✨ Riding the MTR may be faster and more convenient, but the Hong Kong tram, which rattles through the city at a slightly slower speed, is a vehicle that you should ride and photograph at least once if you visit Hong Kong ☺️ #overseastraveltrip #hongkong #hongkongtourism #hongkongtrip #girlstrip #solotrip #hongkong #hongkongtrip #tram #photogenicspot

Hong Kong Tram, commonly known as 'Ding Ding,' is one of the unique modes of transportation on Hong Kong Island. Operating since 1904, it has a history of over a century. The tram is favored by both locals and tourists for its affordability and eco-friendliness. The tram routes traverse the east and west ends of Hong Kong Island, passing through numerous famous attractions and bustling areas, making it an ideal choice for exploring Hong Kong. Spot 1: Chun Yeung Street, North Point Chun Yeung Street in North Point is one of Hong Kong's famous markets, attracting many visitors with its diverse range of goods and authentic local atmosphere. Vendors here sell fresh vegetables, seafood, and various snacks, making it a place where people linger. The street is particularly lively in the morning, filled with the sounds of vendors calling out and people chatting, giving a unique taste of Hong Kong's local culture. Spot 2: Sunset at Whitty Street Whitty Street, located at the western end of Hong Kong Island, is an excellent spot for watching the sunset. In the evening, taking the tram to Whitty Street allows you to see the sun setting, with golden sunlight reflecting off Victoria Harbour's waters, creating a breathtaking view. This sunset scene attracts not only photography enthusiasts but also couples and families for a leisurely stroll. After watching the sunset, you can enjoy a meal at nearby restaurants, perfectly ending your day's journey.

#springsummer2024 Hong Kong's tram is really pleasant! For me who lives in Wan Chai, it is super convenient to take the Ding Ding tram to move horizontally. The trams come in various colors, and the photos taken are superb! The way to get on the Ding Ding bus is to get on from the back door and get off from the front door. A trip only costs 3 Hong Kong dollars. The Ding Ding bus has two floors and there are many seats. However, when there are a lot of people, there may not be any seats available. Although there is no air conditioning, the wind is very cool while driving, which is very comfortable. It’s really great to slowly appreciate the city scenery of Hong Kong! #Hongkong #Hongkongfood #Wheretogoweekend #Weekendcheckin #Fooddiary #Foodtour #Recordofeatinganddrinking #Weekendshop #Hongkongattractions #DingDingCar

#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.

Ding Ding Tram as they call it, is probably one of the most famous attraction in Hongkong. also, it is considered one of the oldest form of transportation in the world. you won't gonna miss seeing these colorful machines because they are the kings of the streets in Hongkong. running on spots in wanchai, central, and many more. make sure you got exact 3HKD or you can use the Octopus card to pay upon hopping in. best way indeed and the cheapest to see every corners of the city. #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #solofemaletraveller #tripblazers

On top of that, the tram has a super low price. You only need to spend HK$.2 per trip. What else are you waiting for? #tourist #transport #transporthub #environmentalfriendly

🌟#Holiday Good Places🌟 #Tram Tours🌟 "Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" I wonder how long it's been since we've been on Ding Ding🚋 Because I don't live in Hong Kong Island, I really rarely have the opportunity to take the tram, not to mention MBA. My sister was born so long that I can only take the one or two times, but my sister has never taken it😮 So this time I decided to come with them on a #DingDingTour🚩 This time we chose to take the route from #Kennedy Town Terminal to #Shau Kei Wan Terminal🛤️ The whole journey is about 1.5 hours, and because we took it at night, we saw many beautiful night views along the way😍 💬👧🏻👧🏻👶🏻💬 Although the whole tram journey takes a few hours, we don't feel long and not bored at all, maybe because we can see many different beautiful scenery and each area has its own characteristics💗 We specially chose the front seat to sit, you can clearly see the scenery, and there is some wind blowing along the way, it's so cool🤩 🌟Proving once again that Hong Kong is actually really beautiful and has a lot to do🌟 👀Remind you👀 Before getting on the bus, it's best to replenish your stomach and go to the toilet, so you don't have to worry about finding food and toilet in case of traffic 🤭 And now the weather is so cold, remember to bring more clothes 🧣🧥 If you like this sharing of Ding Ding Journey, remember to give us a Like 😘 🎄🚋🎄🚋🎄🚋🎄🚋🎄🚋🎄🚋🎄 #mbaparadise #melissabellaalyssaparadise #tramtrip #hongkongtramways #enjoylife #tram #hongkongtram #tram #dingding #dingdingjourney #slowlifeday #tramriver #holiday parent-child tour #parent-child activity #stay-in-Hong Kong activity #christmas #3kids #LocalTravel #HolidayGood Places #FamilyGood Places

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?”

#cheaptravel Many people say travelling in Hong Kong is expensive. But I would say you can travel at a relatively low cost. A ride in tram/ star ferry is less than USD$1. But you can one of the best Harbour view in the world. Taking star ferry at sunset or night time is highly recommended. Tram is a lot a great to explore HK island. It takes you to see the modern and old Hong Kong. Both Star ferry and tram are still popular transports for local not just tourist. #hongkong #budgettrip #Explorethecitylikelocal

#Dragon Boat Festival good places It’s impossible not to take Ding Ding when you come to Hong Kong! Ding Ding’s official name is actually tram. It has been serving Hong Kong since 1903 and has been serving Hong Kong for 122 years. It is an indispensable part of Hong Kong. Since 1904, Hong Kong Tramways have been running along the coastline in the northern part of Hong Kong Island, shuttling between the east and west of Hong Kong Island. If you want to learn more about Hong Kong history, I suggest walking from Sai Ying Pun to Sheung Wan to take a ride, because there are many historical buildings in the Sai Ying Pun area, which is full of Hong Kong style. #Sheung Wan Good Places #Ding Ding #Tram #Hong Kong Tram #Hong Kong Historic Buildings #Hong Kong History #Hong Kong Check-in

No trip to Hong Kong is complete without checking out the world famous public transport, with the MTR, Star Ferry and Hong Kong Tramways. The tramways are a legacy of British colonial rule and have been operating since 1904, seeing a daily ridership of nearly 200,000 people. There is a single line runnning from Kennedy town through to Shau Kei Wan passing through the hubs of Central, Mid Levels and Admiralty. The trams themselves are very narrow and are exclusively double decker, a very rare feat for a tram system. They shuttle people up and down the island and are a great way to see the Island side of the city. They are a lot slower than buses and taxies so you get a much better chance of seeing the various buildings and landmarks along the way. You can pay with your octopus card and the fares are very cheap, they are fixed fares so it does not matter how far you travel - it’s only $3 HK for adults and $1.5 HK for children. You need to enter at the back and leave via the front, you will pay when you leave - you can also pay with cash but they need the exact fare most of the time so octopus cards are much easier! There is seating on both floors but the top floor can be very popular, so if it is full - listen for people coming down the stairs to get off and then head up before they open the doors for new passengers! Works every time. #cityplaybook #hongkongtrip #historicallandmarks #transport #tram #hongkong #travel #thingstodo #citydaytours

When you think of Hong Kong, you think of trams! Trams are a type of tram system that runs in the northern part of Hong Kong Island, connecting Shau Kei Wan on the east side with Kennedy Town on the west side, and a route that goes to the central area of ​​Running Street! You can enjoy the scenery of Hong Kong while heading to your desired tourist destination! It's easy to ride! Get on at the back and get off at the front! You pay when you get off, but you can pay by credit card or electronic payment, so it's a convenient vehicle that you can ride with just one touch! If you want to get around while watching the cityscape rattle, this is the place for you! There are so many different types of trams that it's fun just to look at them! #Let'sGoAbroad

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Taking the Hong Kong tram is a journey between busyness and nostalgia. The crowded crowd filled the narrow carriage. Standing by the first-floor window, watching the street quickly recede, old signs and new commercial buildings flashed alternately, showing the city's unique style of coexistence of the old and the new. Neon lights and billboards are stacked one upon another, reflecting the rhythm and hustle and bustle of the city. The crisp "ding ding" sound that rings in my ears from time to time is the unique language of trams and also the classic melody of the streets of Hong Kong Island. Despite the huge crowds and cramped space, it is this closeness and slowness that allows people to feel the historical context and human warmth of this city from a different perspective.

Old but reliable and a much nicer way to get across the water.

Here is a guide to photo-worthy spots in Kennedy Town, Hong Kong: Pre-trip Preparation • Documents: Prepare your Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents and relevant endorsements. • Equipment: Bring a camera or a phone with a good-quality camera, and a telephoto lens or device with telephoto capabilities. You can also prepare a tripod and reflector. • Transportation: Purchase an Octopus card, or download apps such as "MTR Mobile" to pay for transportation. Getting There Take the Island Line of the MTR to Kennedy Town Station, and exit from Exit C to start your photo tour. Best Time to Shoot It is recommended to arrive between 4pm and 6:30pm. From 4pm to 5:30pm, you can capture the sparkling sea and clear buildings and street scenes. 5:30pm to 6:30pm is sunset time, when you can capture the pink sunset and the sunset over the sea. Instagrammable Spots and Shooting Tips • Kennedy Town Basketball Court: Exit from Exit C of Kennedy Town Station, turn left and go up the stairs, and pass through the soccer field to reach the basketball court. Use a telephoto lens to capture panoramic views and traffic flow. You can wait for a Ding Ding tram, a red taxi, or a boat on the sea to take photos. • Catch the street sign of Catchick Street and Winston's Coffee: After exiting from Exit C, go straight down the steps and turn left to the first intersection. Use a prime lens to take portraits with the Catchick Street sign and the coffee shop sign as the background. It is also great to order a drink and pose for photos. • Kennedy Town Tram Station: Walk straight along the road where the coffee shop is located, pass two intersections, and turn left onto Catchick Street to see it. Take photos at the tram station, or walk to the end and take photos at the tram turning point to include the tram and the surrounding streetscape in the picture. • Kennedy Town New Praya Sign: Return to Davis Street and walk straight towards the seaside. You can queue up to take photos of the street sign, or take photos of the %Arabica Kennytown coffee shop on the right. You can also take photos of the seaside scenery at the corner. • Sai Wan Swimming Shed: Walk from the % coffee shop for about 20 minutes or take bus 971 to Caritas Jockey Club Hostel, walk back 10 meters and you will see a path, then walk towards the seaside for 5 minutes. You can use a 35mm or 50mm lens to capture the full view of the swimming shed, stand in the middle of the wooden bridge with your back to the sea, or use passing ships as the foreground to add a sense of depth.

To #travel in Hong Kong is a dream destination for me. I've always wanted to visit Disneyland, a fantasyland for kids and kids at heart who love Mickey Mouse 🥰, and now I've finally experienced it. The city's vibrant atmosphere, especially at night, is stunning. Despite Hong Kong's modern development, it still preserves its traditional #localfood and markets that are a treat for travellers. And I have to say, it's now my absolute favourite city and sure to visit again! 🥰🥰🥰 📍Here are some of the attractions that we visited 👇 - #city exploring starts at Tung Chung - Disneyland at Sunny Bay - Ngong Ping (for Tian Tan Buddha) - checked in @Chungking Mansion - exploring Central via Star Ferry Pier - experiencing the longest escalator - riding the ding ding tram 🚊 p.s. April is a good month to visit Hong Kong #spring🌻☘️ feel free to dm me for more infos, especially 1st time travellers in HK ✨️

#discoverchina The Hong Kong tram, lovingly called the “Ding Ding,” is a must-ride when you're in Central. It’s a charming and affordable way to explore the city, with a unique vintage vibe. Riding through the busy streets gives you a glimpse of daily life and classic Hong Kong scenery. Hop on the upper deck for the best views—it’s a nostalgic and memorable experience you shouldn’t miss.

#discoverchina Started the day at Sacred Heart Cathedral! It’s unfortunate that the Cathedral was closed as they have an event ongoing then! However we still managed to take nice photos of the cathedral! The cathedral is very magnificent in size and it stands out amongst the shophouses and warehouses surrounding that are- . Definitely worth to visit if you like to take Roman architecture! Next stop, we headed to Dongmenkou Dongmenkou is a popular night spot by locals and tourists alike. It features a lot of boutique stalls selling unique and trendy clothing, accessories and food! Definitely worth a walk there if you want to see some unique stalls ! #china #myitinerary #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #guangzhou

✏️ Real Hong Kong on a slow-moving tram 🏷 Hong Kong Tramways 📍 All over Hong Kong Island (Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Kennedy Town, etc.) 🗺️ A Ttukbakki's Hong Kong Story If you want to feel the real local sentiment in Hong Kong? You absolutely have to ride a tram! A narrow, long, double-decker tram slowly runs through Hong Kong Island. Although it is slow, the slowness allows you to see the scenery of the alleys properly. It passes through busy areas like Central, Wan Chai, and Causeway Bay, and you can also catch a glimpse of the small daily lives of people in the neighborhood, so it's really fun. In particular, if you sit in the front row of the second floor, the scenery outside the window unfolds like a panorama, just like a scene from a movie. These days, there are many new transportation methods, but the tram is the best for its slowness and old-fashioned sentiment. 💳 Price: HKD 3 for adults (Octopus card accepted, same fare regardless of distance) 🛵 Location and transportation: Easy to ride anywhere on Hong Kong Island. Recommended to ride from Central or Causeway Bay! There are several tram routes, so be sure to check the direction depending on your destination. 🫶🏻 What I liked!: The feeling of sitting in the front row of the second floor of the tram and watching the streets of Hong Kong slowly pass by. It was a great way to stop and relax during a busy trip. 🎸 Other notes: Some trams don't have air conditioning, so it's a little hot in the summer! But it's fun to open the windows and feel the breeze, which is another charm. The inside of the tram is narrow, so it's better to avoid carrying large luggage! #HongKongTravel #HongKongIsland #HongKongTram #TramTravel

#discoverchina Definitely a must visit when you visit Hong Kong! Chances upon this Cha chan Teng that I did not know was a popular spot for breakfast! It’s situated head the hotel I stayed in Hong Kong! They serve the typical Cha chan Teng kind of breakfast, very local tastes! They have many various locations around Hong Kong and in many neighbourhoods! Do give it a try for the Authentic Cha Chan Teng experience ! #hongkong #china #travel

#discoverchina 📍上下九步行街，永庆坊
😋： 陶陶居 
They are all located within walking distance of each other!
陶陶居 is one of the famous Michelin dimsum eats in Guangzhou!! Yes, it’s pricey but i feel is definitely worth the try as the food is very tasty!! 
We went to the original shop located in 山下九, the building itself is about 4 stories high! We then headed to 永庆坊, Bruce lee’s home is located here! However we did not manage to explore as it was under renovation. Nonetheless, this area is still worth a visit as there are many cafes and shops around the area! #familytravel #guangzhou #couplestrip #travel #china

#discoverchina Hopped over from Guangzhou via HSR! 
🚇: Boarded at Guangzhou East Station. 
Do note that there is only one station to arrive to which is Hongkong West Kowloon station! 
If you are coming from Guangzhou East, do take note that the waiting area is slightly away from the main waiting area! There is a specific waiting area for those departing to Hongkong, is located beside the small shops once you go up the escalator. 
The train ride is really fuss free, is a typical HSR ride that can be found in China, just that we will have to clear the China and Hong Kong Customs together! 
It was about a 2 hour train ride 🚝. 
You can check out how I travelled via HSR in Chengdu/Chongqing 
————————————— 
🏠: our accommodation was in the Tsuen Wan West Area Nina Hotel Tsuen Wan West 
^Hotel has really tall buildings! Look at the view from our room at the 60th floor!
We decided on this hotel as it is connected to 2 malls, which was sufficient for us to get our meals. Tsuen Wan area is also about a 30 mins train ride to the city, which makes staying more affordable compared to places like Tsim Tsa Tsui or Mongkok. 
Tsuen Wan is surrounded by residential buildings, which means there are many eateries, 小店 we can find once we venture out of the hotel! 
—————————————
we explored Hongkong in a more leisure pace this time, given that it’s our 3rd time here! 
Here are a few places we visited: 
Yick Cheong Building [Monster Building]
Tsim Sha Tsui 
Mong Kok 
Nathan Rd [for Neon Lights and Dimsum! ]
Hong Kong Disneyland 
we also took a ding ding tram for the first time! It’s Hong Kong’s cheapest mode of transportation and we get to enjoy Hong Kong’s streets along the way! 
—————————————
‼️we can now use our credit/debit cards for transportation around Hong Kong! Just like in Singapore!
much more convenient for tourists who don’t have a 🐙 card! 
That being said …. A octopus card in Hong Kong, is still
Pretty much needed especially if you are dining in 小店, or visiting shops around the neighbourhoods, they mostly accept only payment via octopus card or cash!! 
However, the town and CBD areas in Hong Kong to accept credit card payments. All in all, getting an octopus card will still come in handy! 
————————————
Hong Kong expenses is pretty much like Singapore if not, slightly more, even though flights to the country for SQ can be a low as SGD320 for a round trip! 
However, I personally still think is worth a trip there , for a different city vibe, the old Hong Kong architectures and of course their food 😋 #discoverchina #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #familytravel #china #citydaytours #hongkong #disneyland

Resumed my travels in China and this time onwards to Guangzhou and Hong Kong !!
Even though Guangzhou might not have UNESCO Heritage Sites [or at least not to my knowledge 🤨] 
We went on a 8D7N trip for both countries!! Guangzhou truly lives up to its name of wholesale shopping and good food 🤤
I would say my expenditures for this trip weighs lesser compared to Shanghai, due to the costs of flight tickets and accommodations I managed to snag at discounted rates!! 
—————————
Guangzhou 🇨🇳
Stayed at Fraser Suites Guangzhou, located in Tianhe district, similar to our town area in SG!
If you are going to Guangzhou with family, I will recommend Fraser! Fraser is an apartment like hotel where for a family of 5, we managed to book an apartment that consists of 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and it comes with a full kitchen as well!! It’s linked to a mall with a underground connecting metro: Shipaiqiao station 🚇
—————————
📍: 时尚天河
Located within 10 mins walk from Fraser. It’s an underground mall decorated to resemble old Shanghai! There are many different street food options available, as well as many clothing and handicrafts stores. 
This can be a pitstop for a more leisure paced schedule! As this mall is located within the vicinity of 3 mega malls! 
📍： Shamian Island 沙面岛
🚇: Line 1 or 6, Huangsha Station, Exit F 
A place with great historic significance. Many European styled buildings, each housing a different storefront eg. Starbucks, teaware, vintage clothing and many more! 
We stayed here for about 1-2 hours before heading off! I will only recommend this place if you are into history and photography, if not, this place can be a miss as there is not much activity here!

Above are the few places I went in Guangzhou that I felt were worth the visit!! Guangzhou has many wholesale shopping malls and due to the limited time we have in Guangzhou we chose to loop those out of the itinerary! 
Do note that we also visited Guangzhou in December, hence most wholesale will be selling winter clothing ❄️ #discoverchina #guangzhou #travel #familytravel #myitinerary #china #discoverchina
