A new free smartphone app, available to Android and iPhone users, allows tram riders to hear and see the history of Hong Kong’s development along the historical tram route stretching from Kennedy Town to Wanchai.

The app offers what amounts to a portable narrated video tour in English, Cantonese or Putonghua, that doles out historical facts and anecdotes at various sites along the route.
