After our tram ride down from Victoria Peak we took a short walkabout on our way to a city tram stop. Fortunately Kenny and Rebecca are experienced Hong Kong travellers and knew which tram to take and guided us through the boarding procedure. 

Our ride to North Point was a great way to see and enjoy the bustling streets of Hong Kong. The cars are equipped with sliding windows which allowed us to take some good photos on our ride through the streets. 

We alighted close to the location of the first Choy apartment back in the '40s and '50s but it had been replaced by modern buildings, so we moved on to the location of their second home. This second walkabout led us through some 

The Hong Kong tram system is one of the earliest forms of public transport in the metropolis, dating back to the city's colonial period. The trams are sometimes called the "Ding Ding" by Hong Kong people. Trams in Hong Kong have not only been a form of commuter transport for over 110 years, but also a major tourist attraction and one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling in Hong Kong. The tram system is the only one in the world operated exclusively with double-decker trams, and is one of only five non-heritage tram systems in the world that use double-deck cars. The tram is the cheapest mode of public transport on the island. 

The headway between each tram departure is approximately 1.5 minutes during peak hours. The maximum speed is from 50-60km/h. The maximum capacity of each tramcar is 115 people. Our fare as senior citizens was HK$1.10 (about 18 cents Canadian). Unlike most other forms of public transport in Hong Kong, fare charged is uniform regardless of the distance travelled.
