Peak Tram

Die Peak Tram ist eine Standseilbahn in Hongkong. Sie führt vom Bezirk Central and Western auf Hong Kong Island auf den 552 Meter hohen Victoria Peak. Auf der 1365 Meter langen Strecke gibt es drei Zwischenstationen. Eine Fahrt auf den Gipfel dauert sieben Minuten. Der steilste Abschnitt hat eine Steigung von 51 %; das entspricht einem Winkel von 27° gegenüber der Horizontalen.

Die Peak Tram wurde 1888 eröffnet und wurde damals noch von einer Dampfmaschine angetrieben. Seit 1926 fährt die Standseilbahn elektrisch. 1989 wurde die Anlage vom Schweizer Industriekonzern Von Roll automatisiert; gleichzeitig wurde die Kapazität der Wagen von 32 auf 120 Fahrgäste erhöht.
