Lanson Place Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Partners with Hong Kong Tramways to Launch the Ding Ding Qipao Tour

Hong Kong, 22 April 2025 – Lanson Place Causeway Bay, Hong Kong is pleased to announce its collaboration with Hong Kong Tramways (‘Ding Ding’) to launch the Ding Ding Qipao Tour on weekends, commencing on 17 May 2025. Travelling from Sheung Wan to Causeway Bay, the tour invites participants to step back in time to experience the vibrant heritage of Hong Kong.
United by a shared vision to create culturally immersive experiences that resonate with both locals and travellers, Lanson Place Causeway Bay and Hong Kong Tramways have laid the groundwork for an exciting partnership. Danny Tse, Area General Manager of Lanson Place Causeway Bay, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “Our collaboration with Hong Kong Tramways is a delightful experience, as we come together to weave the rich narratives of Hong Kong through a contemporary perspective. Our hotel is proud to partner with like-minded individuals and organisations within our community to craft engaging offerings that honour our city’s vibrant heritage and create unique travel stories. We warmly invite everyone to join us on this extraordinary adventure, where the elegance of the past meets the energy of the present.”
Originating from the Qing dynasty (1644–1912), qipaos are a hallmark of Chinese identity, renowned for their elegance and historical significance. Their popularity surged in Hong Kong during the 1960s due to a significant influx of Shanghainese immigrants.
This highly anticipated collaboration aims to tell the stories of Hong Kong through a modern lens. Participants of the Ding Ding Qipao Tour will have the opportunity to put on a traditional qipao, available for rental from the clothing boutique, Yan Shang Kee, in Central. With a variety of styles for women, men and children, this experience is perfect for couples, friends and families eager to embark on an off-the-beaten-path travel adventure. They will then board a beautifully restored 1920s-style open-top tram, gliding through the bustling streets of Hong Kong while savouring the nostalgia of a bygone era.
The photogenic journey doesn’t end there; participants are invited to visit Salon Lanson within Lanson Place, conveniently located next to the Causeway Bay Terminus, where they can enjoy a special cocktail inspired by The World of Suzie Wong, a romantic classic film set in 1960s Hong Kong.
The Ding Ding Qipao Tour pass (HKD580 per person) includes:
- A one-hour journey on the TramOramic Tour (one way)
- Departure at 4:15 pm from Western Market Terminus to Causeway Bay Terminus
- Rental of a qipao from Yan Shang Kee (1:00 pm to 3:00 pm); garment to be returned the following day (10:00 am to noon).
- A glass of The World of Suzie Wong at Salon Lanson for an additional HKD68 (5:30 pm to 7:30 pm).
Lanson Place Causeway Bay is dedicated to celebrating Hong Kong’s rich cultural heritage and crafting distinctive travel experiences.
