EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Double-decker Tram No. 20 making its way through the bustling streets of Hong Kong, circa 1925. The iconic double-decker tram, a beloved relic of Hong Kong's rich history, is seen here stopping at Shell Street in North Point, a vibrant and densely populated neighborhood in the northern part of the city. The double-decker tram, numbered 20, was part of the historic Star Ferry and Tramways route, which connected various parts of Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. The two-level design of the tram allowed passengers to enjoy panoramic views of the city as they traveled, making it a popular mode of transportation for both locals and tourists. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of Chinese and Western influences that define Hong Kong's cultural heritage. The tram, with its red and green livery, stands out against the backdrop of traditional Chinese shops and houses, while the modern buildings and billboards in the distance hint at the city's rapid modernization. The scene is also a testament to the energy and vitality of Hong Kong's streets, with people of all ages and backgrounds going about their daily lives. The tram stop is a hive of activity, with passengers boarding and disembarking, vendors selling their wares, and rickshaws and bicycles jostling for space on the narrow sidewalks. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and vibrant culture of Hong Kong, and a testament to the city's enduring charm and resilience. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who have traveled on this tram over the decades, and to appreciate the unique character of this remarkable city.
