Experience Hong Kong through a tram ride
An ideal solution to overcome the traffic problem is the tram. The tram system has been in operation in Hong Kong since 1904. Operated by the Hong Kong Tramway Limited it is one of the oldest tram car operations in the world.
The tram line runs along a 13 km stretch and is laid out across the Northern part of Hong Kong island. The double line track operates through mainly 6 routes and during rush hours trams can be expected almost every 2 minutes. 240'000 residents commute daily on these trams.
Consisting of a lower deck that is on level with the other vehicles on the road and an upper deck that is better suited as an observation deck, the tram is an effective, enjoyable and also extremely cost efficient mode of transportation. The lines run from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, whilst a supplementary circular route runs around the Happy Valley. The tram ride takes you past many attractions which include the many sky scrapers, Edinburgh Place, Hong Kong Central Library and Times Square Shopping Mall. The final stop at Shau Kei Wan brings travellers to the temple area. Given the uniform rate paid, no matter how far you travel, travellers can opt to hop on and off at will. Whilst a fare for adults is HK$2, senior citizens above 65 and children under 12 have to pay only HK$1.
A tram can carry only 115 people maximum. Although speeds used to be relatively slow, modern trams can reach speeds of 50 and sometimes 60km/h. A tram ride provides an ideal opportunity to admire the beautiful scenery and observe the daily lives of the residents of Hong Kong. Of course avoiding rush hours will make this activity more pleasant.
A visitor to Hong Kong should not pass up the opportunity to take in the scenery and experience Hong Kong via a delightful tram ride through the city. If such visitors seek hotels in Hong Kong from which to base themselves, then Eaton Hotel Hong Kong, one of the most luxurious and hospitable Hong Kong hotels will prove to be an ideal choice.

TRAM $65.33 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. TRAM, short for Thyristor RAM or thyristor randomaccess memory, is a new type of DRAM computer memory invented and developed by TRAM Semiconductor, which departs from the usual designs of memory cells, combining the strengths of the DRAM and SRAM: high speed and high volume. This technology, which exploits the electrical property known as negative differential resistance and is called ThinCapacitivelyCoupledThyristor, is used to create memory cells capable of very high packing densities. Due to this, this memory is highly scalable, and already has a storage density that is several times higher than found in conventional sixtransistor SRAM memory. It is expected that the next generation of TRAM memory will have the same density as DRAM. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
