                    Ding-Ding Swing! (Saturday afternoon)

                    Picture
                    A little slow, a little bumpy, and a lot of fun! Locally known as the 'Ding Ding', the double-decker tram has been an essential part of Hong Kong's daily life for over a century.

                    We are chartering a couple of antique tramcars to give you a unique glimpse of city life as we rumble from the West to East of Hong Kong Island.

                    The trams start in Western district and take us through bustling Causeway Bay, a major shopping area in Hong Kong and then to the horse racing track in Happy Valley before looping back to Western.


                    Tramcars hold 120 so first come, first on!
