Now finally, on to my personal favorite--the Hong Kong Tramways!pic.twitter.com/OuD6wCQKJo
Built in 1903, this is the oldest rail line on the island. Double-deck trams were introduced very early, in 1912pic.twitter.com/7Tdh5zgKBB
I am determined to ride them someday, they are one of a kind. God forbid one breaks down, though...pic.twitter.com/sguYsnhCBR
One last thing to cover here...let's look at Hong Kong's Peak Tram, a funicular line to Victoria Peakpic.twitter.com/BaW32Sw1EG
It turns out I was wrong about the trams--the Peak Tram is even older! It opened in 1888.pic.twitter.com/ANN6chN3qp
There are some intermediate stops...pic.twitter.com/zmC35r27dT
...another one for the bucket list, I think. Hong Kong trip when??pic.twitter.com/cggeuw0XqQ
Once again, thank you for riding #TrainTwitter today--over 2500 passengers now! Let's ride again soon!pic.twitter.com/1KipHVGcCR
I may be going to HK this summer. If we happened to be there at the same time, I’d love to meet.
I think this summer will be too soon for me...but I plan to get to Taiwan in 2018, and maybe I could work in an HK trip too!
