Victoria Peak and Tram

The Peak Tramway is a funicular railway in Hong Kong, and is popular with both tourists and residents to reach the upper levels of Hong Kong Island. Running from Central Hong Kong to Victoria Peak via the Mid-Levels, it provides the most direct route and offers good views over the harbor and Hong Kong's skyscrapers.

When first opened in 1888 after 3 years of contruction it was a revolutionary mode of transport for Asia. In the 1908-1949 period, first row seats were reserved for the Governor of Hong Kong. Its completion accelerated the residential development of Victoria Peak and the Mid Levels.

The system was completely rebuilt in 1989 by a Swiss company with new track, a computerized control system and new trams.
