At Rotorua



After Taupo, Yin Ping and Ho Keung went north to a bigger town called Rotorua. It was September 3rd, 2007.

Rotorua Gondola, situated on the side of Mt. Ngongotaha, was not a steep ride, but with a panoramic view of the town and Lake Rotorua. It summit was 487 m. above sea level.

There were cable cars running up and down its slope to save people’s energy of walking. Yin Ping and Ho Keung had the leisure of sitting back in a café looking at the beautiful sceneries around the lake and sipping from their cups of coffee or tea. How relaxing they were!

After the drink, Yin Ping was able to “direct” the cable cars to go up or down the slopes with her magic hands.

Some people were taking chairlifts to the top of the hill to take the gravity ride on 3-wheel carts with braking and steering systems down the slopes – A world’s ”first” designed game in Rotorua, called the luge.

Yin Ping's magic hands worked so well on that day that the cable cars had the best run of all time
