Tram (電車)

The Tram system of Hong Kong started operating in 1904. Its route is from Wan Chai to Shau Kei Wan and the Happy Valley (horse racing ground).By 1912, double deck tram began to appear. But the upper deck is open to the air and by this time, there had been a lot of complaints from the customers. So the tram company used canvas as cover. Only until 1923, canvas was being replaced by wood to be tram’s upper deck’s cover. Only now they have the whole tram with both deck cover with metal.
