Victoria Peak Tram

Friday, May 2, 2008
Hong Kong

The ride to the top of Victoria Peak from Central is a doozie. You’re on a tram that’s packed to the gills like a can of sardines, lumbering up the tallest mountain in Hong Kong. About half way up, you realize the buildings are all leaning at weird angles.

That is, until it occurs to you the tram is what’s leaning at an angle...which means you’re leaning at an angle. As in at a full blown 45 degree tilt. Pretty amazing sensation (and valid reason to hope the maintenance team is a good one).
