As part of BODW (Business of Design Week) in the City, an annual citywide celebration of design and arts organised by the Hong Kong Design Centre, Hongkongers can now register for Citymapper, an exclusive opportunity to ride an antique tram adorned with local elements, available until December 17.
Step into the tram’s lower deck, where you’ll find small antique medicine drawers found in herbal tea shops as decor. Aside from being surrounded by aromas of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients like five-flavour fruit, tangerine peel, sandalwood, as well as dong quai, you’ll also get to sip on a unique herbal tea-infused cocktail created by local liqueur brand Magnolia Lab.
Afterwards, head upstairs to find the tram’s upper deck transformed with nostalgic decor like iron frames and multicoloured windows. Passengers can look out the tram’s windows to admire the city’s picturesque scenery while sipping on pu’er tea tea provided by Plantation Tea Bar. What’s more, all passengers will also get to take home an exclusive bottled cocktail from Magnolia Lab, as well as receive discount vouchers to use on select cocktails at bars like Dio and Tomo.
Admission to Citymapper is free, visit BODW in the City’s website to find more details about the tram experience.
