Peak Tower, Hong Kong



I'd read that some of the best views of the city are had by taking the Peak Tram up to the Sky Terrace. The tram is hauled up a sheer slope by a single cable. Although it has a faultless safety record I feel its strain as it struggles up the hill loaded with tourists. At the top I'm greeted by yet another shopping centre and a wax work model of Bruce Lee. It's another 10-odd escalator rides before I reach the viewing platform. The views are breathtaking.
