Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan adventure waiting to be explored by travelers who come to the Asian metropolis.
One of the best (and cheapest) ways to see the city is on a double-decker tram. These old-fashioned vehicles zip through the city's streets, giving travelers an exhilarating moving experience not found many other places in the world. The cars were recently featured on the seventeenth edition of The Amazing Race last fall as contestants raced through China.
"Old, narrow, double-decker affairs, the trams cut through the heart of the city, from Kennedy Town in the west to Shau Kei Wan in the east," states Frommer's travel guides.
The New York Times says "[the trams] still provide one of the cheapest and most scenic ways to experience the city’s daily life with a bird’s-eye view."
In addition to the tram, a ride up to the top of Victoria Peak is a must for adventure travelers who love breathtaking city vistas.
The best way to experience Hong Kong is with a small group of adventure travelers.
