UP
TO THE PEAK
Three things you immediately notice about Hong Kong: It's built on a
hill, the transport infrastructure is fantastic, and space is at a
premium.
The "Peak Tram" which runs from just outside the Squash Centre
demonstrates all three of these features in one compact package.
Operating since 1888, it's a funicular railway that take you 400 metres
up in less than ten minutes, terminating in the middle of a brand
spanking shopping / amusement centre.
A further ten sets of escalators takes you up to the viewing gallery
where, on a clear day (apparently) you can see for miles.
As you can see, it was a little misty when I reached the summit, but
well worth the trip, that's for sure ...
