Established since 1904, the Hong Kong tram has been a long-living history itself, witnessing the city’s vast changes from a small fishing village to an urban jungle today. Affectionately nicknamed “ding ding” – resonating the chiming sounds of its bells – the tram today still remains as one of the local’s favourite mode of transportation, gliding past some of the city’s most renowned landmarks.
The TramOramic Hong Kong accommodation package
This summer, a partnership between Hong Kong Tramways and Lanson Place Hotel will be launching the TramOramic Hong Kong accommodation package – featuring a one-hour sightseeing tour aboard the city’s iconic vintage tram, two-day unlimited tram rides, a luxury room upgrade, American breakfast at the elegant 133 Lounge, guaranteed late-checkout, and other exclusive privileges – offering a unique experience to enjoy and discover the genuine Hong Kong.
Operated by the Hong Kong Tramways, the TramOramic Tour is a one-hour expedition on a 1920’s style open-top tram. The tram is equipped with audio guides that broadcast the tales of Hong Kong’s local life and cultures, available in eight languages. On the lower deck, a gallery of historical photos and authentic artifacts adorn the tram’s retro wood interior.
From the bustling streets of glittery shopping in Causeway Bay, modern skyscrapers in Central, to the historic, eclectic neighbourhood of Sheung Wan, the TramOramic Tour offers some of the most scenic views of the vibrant city.
