KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 30 (Bernama) -- The Peak Tram, Asia’s oldest funicular railway and a must-visit attraction in Hong Kong, started taking visitors on a spell-binding ride to the Peak again on Aug 27, 2022, with a redesigned tramcar and other upgraded facilities.

The new Peak Tram rewards passengers with a mesmerising panorama of Victoria Harbour -- a fresh, enhanced experience -- making it one of the latest developments in the many exciting tourist attractions and experiences in Hong Kong.

According to a statement, the new Peak Tram dons the classic “Peak Tram Green”, in a nod to its heritage and earlier generations of tramcars in the 20th century.

It has a 75 per cent increase in capacity, carrying 210 passengers, and larger windows offer an unobstructed, panoramic vista of Hong Kong's world-famous skyline.

In addition to the tramcar’s modern design, the tram termini has been refurbished, offering an engaging and entertaining experience to passengers with five engagement zones.
