About:
Although not actually a mass transit gondola, Hong Kong’s Ocean Park Cable Car acts like one. One of the world’s only “dual” mono-cable detachable gondolas, it efficiently uses two cable-car systems side-by-side. It boasts a 4000-person capacity spread over 252 cabins. The 1.5km ride is an indispensable link for the park’s 7 million annual visitors, and offers breathtaking views of Nam Long Shan (Brick Hill) and Deep Water Bay.
Every Thursday, the Gondola Project team will select stunning captures of CPT lines. We hope this will continue to bring more attention to the technology and provide visually impactful examples of cable car systems worldwide. If you’d like to submit or nominate a picture for our “Photo of the Week”, we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below or send us an email at gondola@creativeurbanprojects.com.
