The Victoria Peak Cable Car


VictoriaCableCar, originally uploaded by tgolamb.

Riding the cable car up Victoria Peak is one of the must do's while in Hong Kong. This attraction has been in operation since 1888 and is still one of the most popular ways to get up the mountain. The original cars were coal-fired steam engines, but they switched to electric in 1926. It takes you up the 368 meters in altitude in about five minutes. The view from the top is the best in Hong Kong.
