====Hong Kong==== [[File:The final rickshaw ride in Hong Kong.jpg|right|thumb|Outside the Lion Pavilion Lookout in 2011 on [[Victoria Peak|The Peak]], Hong Kong, can find this last licensed rickshaw ride in this ex-British colony.]] Rickshaws were first imported to Hong Kong from Japan in 1880. They were a popular form of transport for many years, peaking at more than 3,000 in the 1920s. However, their popularity waned after [[World War II]]. No new licenses for rickshaws have been issued since 1975, and only a few old men—three as of 2017<ref>[https://www.td.gov.hk/mini_site/atd/2018/en/section3_t_10.html] Vehicle Licensing during - 2008-2017</ref>—still hold a license. It is reported that only one of them still offer rickshaw rides on [[Victoria Peak|The Peak]], mainly for tourists.<ref>[http://forgotten-transport.blogspot.com/2011/09/does-rickshaw-still-exist-in-hong-kong.html 被遺忘的公交 The Forgotten Transportation: Rickshaw ride in Hong Kong<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
