Wellington cable car 威灵顿登山缆车

Wellington cable car is one of the must-see attractions at Wellington City, New Zealand. The cable takes you from the CBD shopping street of Lambton Quay to the top of a Hill where the Botanic Gardens is located. We took a ride on the Cable Car when we were in Wellington a few weeks ago, after visiting Zealandia in the Morning. The Zealandia shuttle bus took us to the Cable Car station at the Botanic garden.

威灵顿登山缆车是新西兰威灵顿有名景点。缆车带乘客从市中心购物街到市中心背后植物公园的山上。我们四月份到威灵顿时去坐过一次。我们早上到了Zealandia野生公园后，公园的摆渡车直接送了我们到山上的缆车站。

Because it is at the top of the hill, you can get a good will of the city of Wellington here, perching on the side of the Wellington harbour, spreading onto nearby hills. You can also make out the snowy caps of the Southern Alps in the distance. You can also get a good postcard view of Wellington and its cable car by standing right at the corner of the viewing platform outside of the station on the Botanic Garden side.

在这威灵顿背后的山上可以看到威灵顿市的全景: 安静威灵顿港、半山上的民屋、还有远处的南阿尔卑斯山，一切都尽入眼睑。在植物公园那边的缆车站旁有个观光平台，在这里的最角落可以拍摄到威灵顿市和缆车的完美明信片风景。

The first version of the cable car was opened in 1902, as a more convenient way to get people up onto the hilly districts. The Cable car is still being used as a major public transport, serving mid-hill residences as well as University students from Victoria University whose campus is also located mid-hill. For those who are interested in more of the history of the Cable car there is a Cable Car museum next to the station, showing casing different aspects of the cable car’s history and construction, as well as two historical cable car trams that are on displayed. It was interesting to know that the area actually has a lot of private cable cars, some as simple as just a trolley and a rail, as people try to find different ways to get to where they want quicker.

威灵顿缆车早在1902就开始使用，以解决居民要翻山越岭才能抵达港口的难题。直到现今，缆车仍然是山上居民，以及在山腰的维多利亚大学里的教师和学生的重要交通工具。有兴趣的朋友可以在车站旁的缆车博物馆了解更多关于威灵顿缆车的历史。原来威灵顿有很多大大小小的私人缆车，有些简陋到只有一个卡车和路轨，提供了快捷便利的登山工具。博物馆里还有几辆旧式缆车车箱供游人参观。

The one-way ride from Botanic Garden takes only about 5 minutes, stopping at 3 stations before reaching Lambton Quay. The trip cost $4.00 one way for an adult and $2.00 for a child, and you don’t pay until you get to the Lambton Quay side of the station. When we went down the tunnel, there were flashing decorative lights, injecting beautiful colours into the dark tunnel. Extraordinarily magical!

从山上坐到市中心只需要五，六分钟，沿经三个车站。票价是大人四元小孩两元，在山上直接上车，到市中心车站才买票出闸。下山时经过了两条隧道，隧道里布置了漂亮的七彩灯饰，有点像过时空隧道的感觉。

Wellington Cable car is an icon to the city and can be visited even if you have only have a couple of hours. You can even make it a relaxing half day trip, visiting the hill top Botanic Garden or the Wellington Observatory as well. I would definitely recommend it to those of you travelling to the city.

身为威灵顿的标志，威灵顿缆车是十分值得去的景点，而且所需时间不多，一个小时足矣。也可以把它变成半天游，顺便游缆旁边的植物公园或威灵顿太空馆。所以去威灵顿旅游的朋友，记得要去坐一下缆车啊！
