HONG KONG: The Peak Tram, a famed form of public transport and a popular tourist draw, reopened Saturday after a year-long US$102-million facelift even as the Hong Kong’s coronavirus curbs continue to keep overseas visitors at bay.
The historic funicular, which dates back to 1888 and offers panoramic views of Hong Kong Island’s famous skyline as it ascends to Victoria Peak, used to draw over six million visitors a year, according to its operator.
