In addition to the main public transportation modes, there are other fun ways to see the city. Trams, or double-decker streetcars, have been running along the northern edge of Hong Kong Island since 1904. Try to sit upstairs near the front for the best views. The MidLevel Escalator connects the central business district with the residential areas of the city towards Victoria Peak. This moving walkway is a great way to see the city.
