Fascinated by 120 (Hong Kong)
Trams in Hong Kong are individually numbered, and more than a few people try to record riding each one. Hong Kong Tramways has taken Tram 120 and retro-designed it to look like older versions, and it has become a sort of focal point for “spot the tram” enthusiasts. Because there are relatively few tram lines, this is not too hard, but takes patience. Unused card. Grade: 1

HK Tramways, Central Market (Hong Kong)
Here, a series of unused cards issued in 2024 as part of the promotional and marketing activities surrounding the tram company’s 120th anniversary. A display was set up in Hong Kong’s Central Market with postcards (that rapidly disappeared) representing various tram stops. The idea was that people would write messages on these postcards and mail them to the the company –or, presumably, anyone — as a sign of support. The cards did not last long in those racks. We nearly had to fight to get what we got. Grade: 1

FinDING Principal Treasure Hunt (Hong Kong)
Although these 5-7/8″ x 7-7/8″ items are not intended to be postcards, they could be used like that, and maybe some people did, since they were issued at the same time as the cards in our series just before this. The idea was that people would wander through Central Market and collect “chops” on the reverse, showing that they saw the intended elements. We have three of these cards. Two are unmarked, and one has one chop from one of those stations. Your choice. By the way, the “DING” is capitalized because Hong Kong people often refer to trams as “Ding Ding” due to the sound they made. Grade: 1
