Hong Kong - Victoria Peak Tram

I went Victoria Peak in Hong Kong by this Peak Tram from Central District. It is a steep climb.

Malaysia - Penang - Penang Hill Cable Car

I often go up Penang Hill by the cable car. The new system is fast, less than 10 minutes to climb to over 800m for an awesome panaromic view of George Town, Channel, Mainland and western side of the island.

The new blue cable car. Mailed with a stamp showing the bottom station and Queen Victoria style mailbox which is now relocated at the top of the hill.
