Take a tram from Central to Causeway Bay. It costs just $2.00. If you want to void the crowds, travel mid morning, but if you are not claustrophobic, go in the evening.

Hong Kis call this mode of transportation "ting ting cher" and I've always wanted to ride in one since young. So, when I was in Hong Kong on 19.05.2012, I took a ride in this tram. It is slow but it is enjoyable. We will pass many of the iconic big advertisements billboards that Hong Kong is well known for.... More

This is such a fun thing to do! For a very small fee (using the Octopus Card) you can ride all along the HK foreshore and get a great view from the top deck. But don't carry much because the staircases are narrow and you need both hands to hold on.

A bit less convienent with a baby and especially a stroller, but it's always worth it to see the city from the tram !

A great way to see the city. Ride the second level, sit up front and enjoy the view.

Nice way to see Hong Kong. I enjoyed seeing different people getting on and off the cable car. Like I said, cheap entertainment.

With less than $3 u can go from one end of HK island to the other end. It takes hours though. At certain times the tram is packed. But if u can get seat at the upper deck, it is one of the best way for a city tour

If you have time, take the double decked cable car. Cheap but slow. A slow way to look at the city.

— An easy way to get around the city — that is holy true. — Very good method of sight seeing in Hong Kong — that is holy true too. — Super cheap — true again. Instruction — get in the tram, go on the top, sit, look at the window and enjoy. Recap — it's a real local pleasure.... More
