TRAVEL TO PLACES: HONG KONG THE PEAK TRAM

My Personal Experience: I went to Hong Kong The Peak Tram, last year November 25, 2014 together with my sister and her boyfriend. We started the journey riding the peak tram, it's priceless! The train was diagonal upwards where we saw Hong Kong island in highest unique way. Tram going down was scary I felt the illusion of falling without control.













The Peak Tram
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.
