artamerican This short film is indeed dated from around the late 1960's.I can recognise the old taxi cabs and some of them were the old Mercedes Benz.The second tow compartment was introduced around late 1967 since I was one of the very first one to ride on the tow compartment when I was a seven year old boy in 1967.I have also a photo taken around that time showing the second tow compartment of the tram when there was a riot in October that same year.Tough times in those days.

What a great tram ride.Was this footage taken before the riot in October in the same year ? I was only 7 years old at that time. Even at that young age I can never forget the riot of 1967.A welknown radio broadcaster / commentator was burnt to death inside his car with his brother.I think his name is Lam Bun.

But HK showed more of the traditional Chinese lifestyle in those days. When I arrived there in 1972 (5 years after this film) traders still used the abacus in the shops - a few years later calculators were everywhere. The people just stopped using abacus to do calculations. But it was quick as the calculator!

This clip is truly incredible, amazing, the same tram route that I still ride on everyday, the admiralty part is cut short, is it possible to get back this part of the ride ? One other question is this short film may be dated in early 1970s because I saw the tram at the turn of the western market tow a second compartment which seem to be available only in the 70s. Could anyone clarify that ?

This is absolutely amazing!! I am thinking about doing the exactly same thing at this very moment in Hong Kong (Google Map/Street has done similar thing like that, but they are not video). It would become a very interesting contrast. Nevertheless, there are some shots which I have no idea about where they are now, e.g. 1:00, 2:09, 2:15, 2:51.

I see many Mercedes-Benz taxis on Hong Kong streets during the 60 & 70 era. High time they deploy modern generation models there again ! Am sick & tired with all those Toyota (rather like toilet instead) Crown junk of a taxi being used there in more recent times. In this aspect, Singapore is well ahead of HK by re-introducing Mercedes-Benz taxis some 20 years ago circa 1997 & continues the tradition with the present W212 series 1st world standard diesel model. I expect HK to do just as well even if they can't do better !

Since the tram running into Central I thought it was London. Apart from the tramway, it looked 85% London, the buildings, the outlook etc. The Hong Kong government could have done better to preserve all these such as leaving the Hong Kong Island of British characteristics and the rest of HongKong of the otherwise.

1:01 is the old Queen's Road East. This section of Queen's Road East went through the naval dockyard (Admiralty) area, connecting Wanchai and Central. It used to curve as you can see at 1:01. In 1968 it got replaced by a straightened new road after the barracks in dockyard were reconfigured. The new road is nowadays Queensway.
