Sea and land connect — Hong Kong's SNOOPY tram steals the show

STARLUX launched its first flight to Hong Kong on July 16, 2024. Thanks to its proximity to Taiwan and geographic advantages, the flight only takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. Since Hong Kong's culture feels relatively close to Taiwan's, it's a highly recommended pick for a first trip abroad.

To mark this inaugural flight, STARLUX teamed up with Hong Kong Tramways to create a "SNOOPY-themed tram" — you might just run into this adorable character on Hong Kong's streets! Diehard SNOOPY fans, isn't it time to plan a trip to Hong Kong? ;)
