Tram ride

450This is something I've been wanting to show you -- the tram. I think the best way for visitors to see HK is to take a tram ride, the longest route runs from one end of the HK island to the other end, taking about 1.5 hour and Euro 0.2/US$0.3 ;-) The great thing is that it takes you through some distinctively different areas of HK and give you a good overview of what the city is like.

If you have something similar in your city, do let me know, it will be useful when I visit ;-)

This tram is decorated in a special theme to promote the city, for a similar design on a ferry, click here.

Cool! Never seen a double-decker tram before. Only know this from busses. Very interesting!

I agree with Nicola...I've seen trams and I've seen double decker buses, but never a double decker tram. Very unique!

I've never seen these in ny HK visits. But then again, I'd never take one. I'm a tad bit claustrophobic ;)

Hi...

you're right! I think HK is the only place where I've seen double decker tram too!

Luggi, thanks for letting me know.

Edwin, the MTR is the place which is really claustrophic, the tram is ok, try it next time ;-)

Darren, thanks for the info, but it should be noted that the tram is a local transport and is nothing designed for tourist/sightseeing ;-)

thanks everybody for your footprints.

very interesting - we have buses you can take to get a sense of the people that live in different parts of the island but then again, you might be waiting forever for buses and trying to figure out which bus stop to use and which bus to catch so never mind - just rent a car =D
