The Peak Tramway operating since 1926 is a funicular railway in Hongkong, which carries both tourists and residents to
the upper levels of Hongkong Island. Running from Central District to Victoria
Peak via the Mid Levels, it provides the most direct route and offers good
views over the harbour and skyscrapers of Hong Kong.
The Peak Tram's route from Central district
to Victoria Peak covers a distance of about 1.4 kilometres and a height
difference of just under 400 metres. The line has two pronounced curves, one to
the left immediately after leaving the lower terminus, and the other to the
right in the upper half of the ascent. The gradient also varies considerably
throughout the ascent. It is a single track route and a passing loop, with two
trams.
