- This video shows the full Hong Kong Tramways route from Shau Kei Wan in the east of Hong Kong Island to Davis Street in Kennedy Town to the West in real time. There is only ambient noise and chatter, with no commentary, effects, or music.
Hong Kong's iconic tramways are one of the few examples of double-decker tramways still in operation (alongside the Alexandria tramway in Egypt and trams in Blackpool, UK) and offer a unique vista from which to view the city. We'll travel through most of the major districts and shopping areas of northern Hong Kong Island, including Wan Chai, Admiralty, and Central, and passing landmarks including the Western Market, Seafood Street, and Causeway Bay.
A journey as long as this one is incredibly cheap - as low as HKD $3, or approximately 30 British pence or 30 US cents - so it's hard to say it's not worth it for the uniqueness and sightseeing value. Travelling by tram is a less popular form of transport compared to the MTR, likely owing to its vulnerability to traffic congestion and lack of air conditioning, but the view can't be beaten. These tramways are something to be treasured, and a living example of the city's rich culture and history.
We picked a rainy day to film this video, because filming in the rain with a gimbal is extremely difficult, and were blessed by a really great looking downpour as we passed through Causeway Bay. The video was filmed using a Panasonic GH5S on a DJI RS3 Mini gimbal that was in turn mounted on a tripod. Turns were manually controlled using the gimbal's joystick.
There's one cut due to us transferring between trams at Western Market, as well as another just before Causeway Bay as my camera randomly decided to stop recording. I'm quite proud of this video, though I regret that we ended up stuck behind another tram for a lot of it. Still... That's just as much part of the experience, right?

A clarifying note on fare prices: The trip in the above video was HKD 6 as I transferred at Western Market. If I got the Shau Kei Wan to Kennedy Town service, it would've been HKD 3, but those aren't super frequent. Still, it is possible!
Postscript: This video marks 500 subscribers! I can't really believe so many people are interested in me slowly walking around various cities and occasionally breathing overly heavily, but hey. I'm really proud of everything I've done. I fall well below monetization metrics, but that's OK; I can film videos I know won't be very popular as I'm not trying to keep the algorithm happy or trying to maximize my earnings. I was, am, and forever will be just an idiot with a camera who's trying to take snapshots of places that might one day disappear. And that's fine! Thank you to everyone who's come along for this journey, whether for a few minutes at the start of a video or to those who put them on in the background while working or studying. I really appreciate you.
Thank you for the 4K quality.
Wow! I love this HK Ding Ding tram ride in this super heavy rain! What a great idea!
Love the Ding Ding ride.
Great video my friend , thank you for sharing , have a great week ahead !
After 40+ years away from Hong Kong, it is quite different now. But the street names ring a bell. I used to take the route, bus or tram, from Kennedy Town to North Point years ago while in college. Good video.
Thank you! Yes, Hong Kong doesn't sit still. It's changed a lot even over the past few years and will probably keep changing. I hope to go back one day and do this one again to compare the two!
Aduh kenangan terindah naik teng-teng

I noticed that the tram went through a puddle
They went through lots during heavy rainy season.
