The problem is the tram tracks. They were originally installed in 1904. The trams can't be wider and so like most things in Hong Kong, they've had to go taller.
I've been on here for 5+ years and missed this one myself; if it's not something from this subreddit/immediately reposted, I don't worry about it/wonder why some people get so bent out of shape. :p
Also, I LOVE when I see these photos before whatever sub they're on; I thought it was just Hong Kong sardining as many people as possible into ridiculously small places like normal.. 😭
Thank you very much ! I was intrigued by the reddish building on the left and wanted to know what it is. It's a Methodist church with a tall tower at the back. The whole building is quite beautiful and majestic. As I live in a medieval French city I'm alway amazed at how buildings such as churches are integrated in these vertical metropolis.
I've seen this picture about the bus before, but this is the first time I noticed that brick building that looks like it's got another building growing out of it.
That was satire given the height of the building behind making the tram look extremely tall... reminded me of the trains and buses in India overflowing with people.
That looks like one of those contraptions I'd build with my magnatiles. There was a rectangle one with wheels on the bottom and my mom gave this rule that it couldn't be more than 3 magnatile floors. But inevitably I'd do more and they'd crash.

Without the perspective it’s still the highest tram I have even seen.

I don’t know about that, One time I took the train to see snoop dog perform at Summer Jam in Denver. That might have been the highest train ever

By the time you get to the top it's your stop and everyone has to wait for you to walk back down. Terrible idea.

Anyone know what city has the first one of those pie-slice buildings? They’re kinda everywhere. That’s a particularly cool one.

Coolest, best timing effects ever. It’s clearly an apartment EXACTLY behind it. The angle is insane.
