Discover Hong Kong Cuisine by Tram
Don't miss the chance to hop on one of the city's vintage trams (operating since the 1920s) and explore Hong Kong's vibrant culinary scene! An interesting fact, did you know these trams are affectionately called 'Ding Ding' by locals and cover a route of up to 30km, passing through the busiest and most bustling areas of Hong Kong?
Trams are easy to use, resembling buses but traveling much slower, allowing you to easily admire the beautiful scenery outside. You board from the rear and pay at the front upon disembarking. Whether you travel near or far, the fare remains the same, and if paying by cash, you must provide exact change, which can be quite inconvenient. Therefore, most tourists as well as locals use the Octopus card, which is simple and convenient, so remember to get one before your Hong Kong adventure!
Hong Kong has so many delicious dishes, doesn't it? Oh, and before traveling to Hong Kong, remember to sign up for Wifi device rental service or 4G SIM card pickup at the airport for unlimited calls, texts, and photo uploads. Don't forget to purchase high-speed rail tickets to reach the city center in just 24 minutes.
