Dubbed by locals as 'ding ding', a ride on Hong Kong's iconic tram is a novel way to explore the city's rich and varied culture. By taking a tram ride through the Hong Kong Island, you can experience the city's multi-faceted history from another perspective. A city of contrasts, in Hong Kong you can find skyscrapers nestled beside colonial architecture and high-rises standing next to Chinese temples.
With the support of various non-profit organisations and charities, Chinachem Group is now running the ‘Hearts in Motion Ding! Ding! Ding!’ tram tour that enables community members from different backgrounds to experience Hong Kong’s storied past.
With the programme running until mid-January 2022, the tram tours are expected to welcome on board 4,000 passengers, who are mainly elderly residents, children, students and underprivileged families served by Yan Chai Hospital, Fu Hong Society, Tsuen Wan Kwai Ching Women’s Association, CLP Power Connect Programme and Child Development Matching Fund.
The journey is narrated by a passionate guide telling the city’s many stories and legends, both well-known and little known, while the tram piles its way along the reserved track that weaves through Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay.
