Hong Kong To-do:
edit purge
  • Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
    • We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)
  • Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Isolation

This page is totally isolated from either MTR or MTRC. Please find a way to link them up. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 20:51, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Because it was once considered by some contributors as not part of the MTR system. — Instantnood 20:59, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
Well, it's perhaps not part of the railway system; where're the rails after all? But Ngong Ping 360 was built by MTRC, and I think there would be a subsidiary company of the corporation, which is responsible for the operation of the cable car, before long. -- Jerry Crimson Mann 05:58, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
It's a BOT project, and it'll be operated by a subsidiary company - Skyrail-ITM (Hong Kong) Limited. It was known as Tung Chung Cable Car, but now as Ngong Ping 360, which includes the Ngong Ping Skyrail and the Ngong Ping Village. — Instantnood 06:41, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stations

The name of Ngong Ping 360 is spelt wrong in the route map. It should be Ngong but not Nong

I purpose that the map should be deleted as soon as possible to prevent any misleading problems and have a deleterious effect on the information accuracy of the page.Narold 08:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
i DISAGREE there is no standars latin spelling for cantonese so it should stay. Enlil Ninlil 03:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I disagree what you disagree, simply because "Ngong Ping 360" and "Ngong Ping Skyrail" are registered trademarks and official names of the company/project. Please search this website for details. --Spring Dennis 06:50, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ngong Ping Village

Is the Ngong Ping Village part of Ngong Ping 360? Or is "Ngong Ping 360" referring only to the cable car line? Has anyone got the old logo of Tung Chung Cable Car before it was renamed? — Instantnood 14:27, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Construction progress

For the section of Construction progress, can anyone compile them as a construction history? For example, when was the first cable cars are "hanged" on the cables? It is meaningless to put a progress REPORT here. --Spring Dennis 09:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV issue

Please note that I have some quite amount of sentences which is "quite POV", emphasizing how beautiful the scene is. Please help amending this. Besides, would anyone help adding the critics to the project? Seems many people are not happy with project too. --Spring Dennis 15:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe those people could add some sources such as newspaper articles or reviews and such to support their arguments? (Can't do it myself, I am back in the UK.)--Kylohk 20:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Agree. It was a very controversial project, and the monks at Po Lin monastery were particularly against it. Also following on from the accidents, quite a few people have criticised the management and running of it (including Stephen Ip as quoted). I think it would be good to add a "criticism" section, though I dont have any sources to hand.--58.152.140.180 04:50, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ngong Ping Skyrail is a gondola lift, not a cable car

Although the operators refer to it as a cable car, and the article previously linked to aerial tramway, the pictures and text description make it very obvious that this is a bi-cable gondola lift. Gondola lifts are often erroneously referred to as cable cars, and vice versa also. Anyway, I'm revising the article to correct the usage, so that it conforms with the usage in the articles about the lifts. --Seattle Skier (talk) 17:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broke down today

I went on the 360 today (12/02/08) and it broke down twice whilst I was on it and numerous times before (it would stop for about 20 minutes each time). They appear to be fine tuning the system somewhat. The return journey went smoothly though and the total travel time was 20 minutes (FYI). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brob (talk • contribs) 17:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ngong Ping Skyrail

Ngong Ping Skyrail has changed name to Ngong Ping 360. I have tried to change all the names in the article, however, there is one name inside the table that I could not change. Would be great if you could advise how we can proceed to change it. Thanks.

Done. —Umofomia (talk) 07:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
