Enjoy the views on Hong Kong Island by Ding Ding

The Tram (HongKongers refer to as “Ding Ding”) is one of the oldest transportations in Hong Kong since 1904.  It can only be seen on the Hong Kong Island, between Kennedy Town (West) and Shau Kei Wan (East).  While locals treat Ding Ding as a daily means of transportation, tourists could also take the advantage of it’s low fare of merely HKD2.00 and glide through Hong Kong Island’s scenic spots from the west ends all the way to the east ends.  Above is you tube clip I found that shows you exactly in your “Ding Ding Ride”.

Here are some snap shots I took this morning on my way to work:
