Taking the funicular to the top of the Peak on Hong Kong was a trippy experience. A rail car, pulled up a steep STEEP hill by cable, afforded a spectacular view. (When I say steep, imagine if the NYC subway, or BART for that matter climbed from station to station at a 45 degree incline. The whole way!) As we rose above the towering skyscrapers packed around the harbor, you got a tremendous sense of the scale of this jam-packed island. These folks behind me, who clearly did not consent to being photographed with me, look excited to reach the top, none the less. We would soon discover why: shopping. Yes, at the very top of the tallest peak on Hong Kong Island was a mall. A shopping mall.
