Old old tram (古舊電車)

--- It is North Point Tram Terminal. Tram does only appear in Hong Kong Island.
--- "Ting, Ting" is the nickname for the Tram. Nowadays, It has been replaced by a horn, no more " Ting , Ting, Ting, Ting.
--- The sound " Ting, Ting, Ting, ....Ting, Ting,Ting " acts as the horn in a car to tell people that I am coming, please give way.
--- The sound " Ting" comes from a metal bar on the ground in driving cab, see the sketch.
--- IF you want to know much more about the tram and hear the Ting Ting sound, please go to the following website.
