Dentistry ‘Ding Ding’

Getting Around HK Island

HKU Faculty of Dentistry Tram

The journey's highlight is commemorated with a group photo in front of the tram in Causeway Bay station

Tram (nicknamed ‘ding ding’) featuring the 40th Anniversary of the Faculty of Dentistry is now cruising around Hong Kong Island until the end of November. So catch it if you can!

On 4 November, Professor Thomas Flemmig, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, and several faculty members boarded the tram and rode across Hong Kong Island to celebrate the Faculty's 40 years of accomplishment. Busy staff and students had a chance to unwind on a two-hour tram ride not just to enjoy the breath-taking city scenes combining historic architecture, modern cityscapes and landmarks, but also share the pleasure of the witnessing the development of the Faculty in the past four decades.
