Where do we begin, to tell the story of how great Hong Kong movies can be? What about with a walk-and-ride experience?

With Movie Tram, audiences will be taking a stroll on the streets and hopping onto a tram for a delightful journey through film history. During the guided tour of different filming locations in Central & Western District, we will discover historical and cultural gems and how they have changed through the times. We will also get on the thematic tram with film specialists, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and inspirations for cinematic creativity. Ding! Ding! All aboard!
