Hong Kong trams - a slow, basic and old fashioned form of public transportation.
For myself, I absoutely love the trams. Though it may be slow, but that is exactly the speed to enjoy and absorb the scenery on both sides of the street. Not only does it add a lot of history and character to the daily life of Hong Kong, and with its colorful and eye-catching advertisements, how can one not to like it?
I took these photos while I was visiting HK in October and am hoping whoever that has other trams pics, will forward them to me to add to my collection.

still love it... at nite it can be as fast (or even faster!) than other public transport (b/c own tram road and no traffic jam).. do u know the plastic seats now used to be wood? i still see some of them running around from time to time... maybe i can take a pict during wkend or sth (as i work in kowloon side now and seldom got chance to ride during wkday lor)
I liked to take the tram and go from Kennedy Town to Taikoo; during days and nights. When I was not in a hurry I just took the tram. The night ride was cool and I got to see the fast moving people (and their actions) right in front of my eyes. I still miss the ride today and when I take my family for a return trip this is a must see and must ride transportation.
