Hong Kong’s Legendary Double-Decker #DingDings 🚋
Did you know Hong Kong is home to the world’s largest active double-decker tram fleet? With 165 of these green icons gliding through the city, every single "Ding Ding" is hand-built and maintained at the Whitty Street depot.
Behind the scenes, 90 dedicated craftsmen keep this #GuinnessWorldRecord fleet alive. From repairing century-old controllers to assembling each wooden seat, they’re armed with nothing but wrenches, sweat, and a whole lot of passion 🔧❤️.
Some trams still run on motors that are decades old, blending classic tech with modern upkeep. It’s like seeing a vintage smartphone get a software update — heritage meets innovation! ⚙️📱
For young urban explorers, these trams aren’t just a ride—they’re a living legacy. They remind us how preserving old tech can be the ultimate sustainable hack 🌍♻️. Plus, there’s something insanely cool about knowing every nail and bolt was fitted by hand.
Next time you hop on a Ding Ding, give a nod to the 90 artisans making magic happen behind the scenes. Their craft keeps the heartbeat of Hong Kong rolling 🎩🙌.
