If one passes by and is full, just wait a few minutes for the next Ding-Ding. If there is room on the top deck, we suggest going there as the views are much better. \n\nUpstair seats provide you with much better views of the interesting street scenes along the tram line. This is especially true after dark, when you want to have high vantage position to see the neon and bright street signs you will pass during your journey. \n\nIn the end, Ding Ding trams are not just a important link to Hong Kong's past, they are a heritage treasure and something that we regularly enjoy using during our own leisure time.

Trams / Ding Ding Rides
If you have time to just chill and ride through the city, I'd recommend a ding ding ride! Grab a cold beer from a 7-11 and plop yourself upstairs on a tram through the city. I'd recommend hopping on the Central and just cruise your way to Kennedy Town. Windows down and let the breeze whisk you away! It'll cost you only a couple HKDs and it's a leisure way of getting from point A to B.
When you get off at Kennedy Town, walk through the streets and find yourself some coffee or a bite to eat by the harbour area!
