Hong Kong Trams Station, Tram heritage museum in Siu Sai Wan, Hong Kong
Hong Kong Trams Station is a tram cafe and gift shop in Siu Sai Wan run by Tramric Limited. Its exhibition area, which the operators call the city's first tram-themed gallery, holds a 1970s money collector, tram tickets, iron-made tram models and a reconstructed 1950s tram scene with a wooden seat.
The cafe and gift shop opened on 27 October 2013 at the Peak Galleria, run by Tramric Limited, to mark the 110th anniversary of Hong Kong Tramways. In May 2018 the landlord Hang Lung Properties ended the lease from 1 September and tripled the rent, so it closed there on 26 August 2018. Branches later opened in Siu Sai Wan and Central Market.
The gallery takes its Chinese name, 香港電車文化館, from the tram culture it documents, and its operators run it as a cafe and gift shop alongside the displays. Visitors can join lectures, model-making workshops, tram tours and gallery talks, and the reconstructed 1950s tram scene with a wooden seat is a set piece to look for.
The museum offers model-making workshops, history lectures, and guided gallery tours that explain how the transport system worked. Plan to spend time on interactive activities if you want to learn more about the tram operations and technical details.
The 1970s money collector on display is a mechanical fare box that tram conductors carried and operated on board. Alongside it are iron-made tram models and tram tickets from different periods, objects that show how fares were handled rather than how vehicles were restored.
