The Ding Ding is an icon in HK and a must ride for the visitors. The top deck was great for viewing. The experience was unique and historic.

A trip on the double decker tram is a must when visiting Hong Kong. It runs on the Island side of Hong Kong only east to west, Kennedy Town to North Point with a side route to Happy Valley. If you buy an octopus card senior, the fare is 1.30 HK$, which translates to about 20 cents US. Unbelievably cheap. Scan your card when exiting to pay fare. The trams are not fast, so it makes for good viewing and picture taking, however not for time sensitive matters. Narrow tricky stairs to the upper deck, so caution advised. Not wheelchair accessible. A clear day, dry air activity. Enjoy.

I like to ride on "Ding Ding" because you can see Hong Kong from a different perspective; sometimes, Ding Ding offers people free ride days, just like February 25, 2023.

Ding ding has so many routes. The fare is only $3 for adults, and for the elderly or people over 65 is $2. The fun about riding the ding ding is you can see, smell, look at, and explore the city, and it is a great site for those just visiting Hong Kong.

The Ding Ding is as much as part of (old) Hong Kong as the Peak, Star Ferry and Lan Kwai Fong.

Still widely used due to the (cheap) fare, buit for visitors a great event to close your eyes and experience old and lively Hong Kong. It brings you easily from west to Causeway Bay and thanks to the low speed, you’ll easily feel how Hong Kong was in the last decades….a little advise; stop at Fenwick St in Wan Chai and walk up to St Francis Yard and visit the Star Street Precinct and se how old Hong Kong gets revitalized and trendy little shops and coffee corners pop up to welcome you

Take nostalgic trip on these antique trams, go upstairs and enjoy a wonderful view of HK, from the modern cityscape in Central to old Western district. Flat rate of only HK$3.00 or less than US$0.50 is the best trip you will pay for. It also super convenient for short trips, I used the mode of transport all the time.

Another attraction of the city is the double-decker trams. Looks great, rode it twice. In Hong Kong, the first trams appeared in 1904, and unusual, two-story trams appeared in 1912. The first two-story trams were with an open top, which performed a rather decorative function: all kinds of plants were located at the top. Since 1925 fully glazed trams have been put into operation.

We had a fun day and the views at the top were worth the queue. There were a lot of people and the tram was crowded, but it was well worth the visit!
