The Peak Tram of Hong Kong, going from the centre to Victoria Peak with four
intermediate stations, serves as a means of transport both for tourists and
commuters. This is a funicular built 1888, last rebuilt in 1989 with new two-car
trains built by vonRoll/Gangloff. It has four intermediate stations.
Here a train can be seen near the upper terminus, with some of the high-density residential buildings of the midlevels in the background. Hong Kong, 2006-05-03 |
