Garden Road () is the lower terminus of the Peak Tram line. It is located on the bottom floor of the St. John's Building on Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong, 28m above sea level. The current station comprises a single track, with platforms on both sides. One platform is used for boarding, the other for exiting the tram. As the Peak Tram is a major Hong Kong tourist attraction, long queues are common in front of the turnstiles at Garden Road Terminus. == History== In 1889 the Garden Road Station for the Peak Tram opened. In 1935 a new terminus was built along with the St John's Apartments: a reinforced concrete building, with eight studio flats and a two-bedroom penthouse. In 1964 the apartments were demolished and a modern 14-storey commercial and residential building erected on the site. This building was in turn replaced by the current 22-storey building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our History )〕 == Neighbouring landmarks == * Central Government Offices * U.S. Consulate General * St. John's Cathedral * Hong Kong Park * Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens * St. Joseph's College * Murray Building * Bank of China Tower 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Garden Road (Peak Tram)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
