Three dollars of happiness on the streets of Hong Kong!

In the high-priced Hong Kong, to experience the joy in the swaying of the Ding Ding tram on King's Road, it only costs three dollars! With three dollars, you can travel from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, slowly enjoying the scenery along the way. I started from the Bank Street at Central's Exchange Square, following the Ding Ding tram eastward, witnessing a Hong Kong filled with the smoke and fire of life: there are the dignified entrances and exits of the CBD's white-collar workers, as well as the old shops standing in rows, the bustling buses, and the working people of the harbor... Until getting off at Wai On Estate on King's Road, in search of the Monster Building, the filming location for 'Transformers': a combination of a typical Hong Kong street market and surrounding buildings, consisting of the Fuk Cheong Building, Yick Cheong Building, Yick Fat Building, Oceanic Building, and Sea View Building, forming an E-shaped space, a microcosm of Hong Kong's great fusion of life. Hong Kong is known for its dense and oppressive living conditions due to its large population and small land area, and this Monster Building epitomizes these characteristics to the extreme. The scene of the Ding Ding tram passing by the skyscrapers is like entering an old movie. On the way back, walk towards Quarry Bay, browse the vegetable market, and experience the daily life of the locals. If you get tired of walking, you can take the Ding Ding tram again to Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, or Admiralty, stroll through the malls, and taste the local cuisine, which is truly a fireworks enjoyment. 🌈Highlight: Ding Ding tram, the cheapest sightseeing transport in Hong Kong 🚗Address & Transportation: King's Road, the main section of the Ding Ding tram from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan.

Hong Kong Tramways Ding Ding Tram ✨Tips: The Monster Building is actually just a densely populated old residential area, famous because of the movie 'Transformers'. It is located near Wai On Estate on King's Road, and you can see it by entering through the door next to a bakery called 'Ho Hei Bun Shop'. It's a private place, keep quiet, and do not disturb the residents' lives.
