Trams as a means of transport in Hong Kong - 31 Mar 2026 by Michael Ho Wai Lee / SOPA Images
A double-decker "Ding Ding" tram maneuvers through the narrow, bustling corridors of Des Voeux Road Central serving as a slow-moving observer to the city's rapid modernization. Operating since 1904, the Tramways remains the world’s largest operational fleet of double-decker, offering a rhythmic, low-cost link between the island's colonial past and its status as a global financial hub. As the tram’s signature bell chimes to alert pedestrians, passengers on the upper deck are granted a "grandstand" view of the vibrant street life and towering skyscrapers that define the northern coastline of Hong Kong Island.
