Cable car, also known as cable car, is a kind of mountaineering railway: a car similar to a tram, tied with a cable and dragged on a steep track. The power device of the cable car is placed in the station, and the machine on the car is very simple, which is very suitable for climbing very inclined slopes.

The lion pavilion in Taiping Mountain attracts tourists to watch the scenery of Hong Kong from there. Taiping Mountain is one of the major tourist attractions in Hong Kong, attracting more than 6 million Hong Kong people and foreign tourists every year. The peak is not only a shopping center, but also a clear view of Central, Victoria Harbour and Kowloon on the other side, which is very popular among citizens and tourists. In addition, because many British people settled here in the early years, there are also many historical buildings here, such as the Lion Pavilion.

Laochenting

The first argument is that it is foolish for tourists to climb the sightseeing pavilion at the top of Taiping Mountain just to see the scenery.

The second statement comes from a sentence in the 1950 s: "The old lining in Hong Kong is dead, and there is no sun", and "There are countless old lining on the top of Taiping Mountain". Visitors can see many stupid people overlooking the scenery under the Taiping Mountain in the pavilion (that is, "Old Lizi");

As the saying goes, old relatives (in-laws, whose Cantonese pronunciation is the same as "Lining") stand in the old Lining Pavilion, looking for their future old relatives. Cantonese is cheated (commonly known as "beating old relatives"), so this building is called "Laoli Pavilion" by the media and citizens.

It is worth mentioning that some people in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province confuse the old Lining Pavilion with the Lion Pavilion, which was designed by China and donated by the Lions Club at the top of the tower.

Tsim Sha Tsui includes Jordan, King's Park, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Prince Edward and Tai Kok Tsui.
