It is so steep that the buildings you pass look like they are leaning a gradient of between 4 to 25.7 degrees! Whether you are going up or coming down, you will love this trip.
THE PEAK TRAM ILLUSION
According to a study* by The University of Hong Kong, passengers riding on the Peak Tram will experience a spectacular visual illusion; when going uphill, the high rises of the right ride of the tram appear to fall toward The Peak. This Peak Tram illusion is induced by a change of the subjective vertical caused by the tilted visual environment and reclining body position of observers inside the tram.
Take a ride and experience the Peak Tram illusion.
