Journey through time: Riding the Hong Kong Tram

Wandering through stories, not just streets.
Hong Kong felt like stepping into a faded film photo — neon lights buzzing, old trams rumbling, corner shops frozen in time. I went with a tight budget, but came home with hundreds of timeless frames.
📍 Where Vintage Lives:
🚋 Ding Ding Trams – Ride for just HKD $2.60 and feel like you're in a 70s movie
🧧 Sheung Wan – antique stores, dried goods shops, and old-school tea houses
📮 Wan Chai Blue House – preserved heritage building full of color and history
🏮 Man Mo Temple – smoky incense and sunbeams through red lanterns
🎞️ Sham Shui Po – film-style alleys, retro signs, market chaos — all authentic
🧋 Old-School Eats on a Budget:
Pineapple buns (no pineapple, but buttery and soft!)
HK milk tea in a dai pai dong (street stall café)
Cheung fun (rice noodle rolls) in local markets
📸 Photo Tip:
Use warm tones
