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.
