The Dalian Tram is a stunning sight within the city of Dalian. Currently, two tram lines, Route 201 and Route 202, are still in operation. People can ride on these vintage trams, listening to the rhythmic clanking sounds, and feel the romance and vicissitudes of a century ago. Dalian is one of the few cities in China that still retains its trams, which were first introduced in 1909. Not only does the city preserve some trams from the 1930s (now used on Route 201), but it also showcases modernized trams (used on Route 202). For tourists, riding the old trams in Dalian is not just a mode of transportation but also a fascinating experience. These vintage trams feature a rustic exterior and distinctive wooden interiors. You can board these old ‘red-skinned’ or ‘green-skinned’ trams and leisurely travel through the central urban area of Dalian, savoring the nostalgic atmosphere.
