The Peak Tram at Victoria Peak
Top Choice for Hong Kong Night Views
Victoria Harbour
The Peak Tram in Hong Kong is a must-visit attraction. The scenery during the day and night each has its own charm. This time, I visited during the day and found the view to be really impressive. I believe the night view, with the city lights, would be even more beautiful.
It's also very worthwhile to come up at night, but there will be more people going down, so you might have to wait. Looking forward to visiting again next time.

📍Tsim Sha Tsui - Day 1
We arrived at TST by Bus A21 from the bus station. We stayed at Venetian Hostel for 3 nights and 4 days. The place is very convenient. It is near the MTR station, Jollibee, the famous bakehouse, ISquare, Filipino store and Avenue of stars. We roam around TST and watched the Symphony of lights in the evening.
📍The Peak Tram - Day 2
We started our day 2 traveling to the Peak Tram 🚊 we went by MTR. I suggest to purchase the Octopus Card. It cost only 200 Hkd.
📍 Ngong Ping 360 cable car

Visiting Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, you must take the vintage tram! Includes transportation + photo spots
Visiting Victoria Peak in Hong Kong is a must! Taking the vintage tram up the mountain to see Victoria Harbour and the sunset night view will truly amaze you.
-
🚠Transportation guide:
1. Effort-saving method - Tram up and down the mountain: Exit from J2, follow the signs or navigate to "Peak Tram", it's about five or six hundred meters away
2. Bus up, tram down: Take bus X15 from the Admiralty MTR station exit to go up the mountain, with both routes having a bus about every 20 minutes
3. Hike up, tram down: Get off at the University of Hong Kong station and exit from A2, turn left at the exit to enter the entire hiking route~ It's roughly from the Graduate House of the University of Hong Kong—Morning Trail at Lung Fu Shan—Hatton Road—Peak. Make sure to go along Lugard Road, where you can see the full view of Victoria Harbour. Hiking beginners should not choose a route that's too exhausting
-
📷Photo spots:
✔️May Road: After coming out from "High Lane", enter May Road, cross the road and head to the left front, continue up the mountain from the small path on the left side of the tram tracks, this route offers a clear view of Victoria Harbour and the Central skyscrapers
✔️Barker Road: This spot allows you to capture the effect of passing by the tram, which looks very nice, and there's also a British vibe
✔️Sky Terrace 428: The tram terminus, I entered with a combo ticket, which allows an overlooking view of the entire Victoria Harbour
✔️Lion's Pavilion: This place doesn't require a ticket to capture the panoramic view, it's quaint and great for photos
✔️Lugard Road: A free spot to view the panorama, but it requires hiking to reach. Personally, I find it a bit dangerous, but the photos are indeed stunning and impressive
-
✔️Travel tips:
For those uus who want to take photos, make sure to choose a good weather day, and the group should arrive at the peak before sunset🌇Trust me! I could watch the night view of Victoria Harbour a hundred more times!!

Peaky Tram 🚊
#hongkongtrip
Although Hongkong is famous for tram 🚃, this peak tram is the ultimate of all (kinda of how Peaky blinders are 😜). To justify that, the tram would actually go uphill in 45 degree slope; such a steep hill though. It's definitely situated at one of the peak spots of Hongkong that even the roads 🛣️ leading up to there were quite steep too. At the top, you will almost get a whole view of HK, and there's a Madame Tussauds museum to meet your favorite stars ⭐ too #urbanexplorer#tripblazers#summervacation

The Peak Tram
The ride takes just 7-8 minutes, but climbs at an extremely steep gradient to an altitude of 396 metres, making it feel almost vertical.
How do I get to The Peak by tram 🚋
From Central, take bus 15 or X15 from Exchange Square (MTR Central Station Exit A / MTR Hong Kong Station Exit B1) to the terminus at Peak Galleria, or minibus 1 from Two ifc (MTR Hong Kong Station Exit F) to Peak Galleria. Alternatively, you can take the Peak Tram from Garden Road to the Peak Tower.

The Peak Tram (interesting & exciting)
The peak tram is definitely a must see in Hong Kong. The tram is very clean and beautiful and the ride to the peak is very interesting and fun. The sights from the peak are amazing and the higher the tram goes the more beautiful the sights become. The ride is a little weird at first as it pushes you back into the bench chair but after a while you start to get used to it and once you reach the top it's something you can't describe in words. It's really beautiful.
Just take note, book your tickets on trip.com a day in advance as it makes it easier to enter without having to queue to buy tickets.
The staff also allow one to enter the tram and the peak with a stroller so no need to worry about that as the facilities accommodate traveling and entering with a stroller or a wheelchair.
Traveling to the peak tram. You can take the metro to the central station and book a taxi from there as it is a little far and hilly. However, for those planning to walk from the metro station, please be advised to wear comfortable shoes.#hongkong#thepeaktram

Hong Kong is so beautiful. The night view is stunning. Go to the Peak for a walk in the evening and enjoy the magnificent night view. There are plenty of restaurants there. You can enjoy cheap deals or delicacies. You can also walk around and buy souvenirs from different shops. There are myriads of souvenirs shops there. You can also mail a post card there which will be a memorable.

The Peak is always The Peak, only Better now
Take the newly renovated peak tram and see the classic best of Hong Kong!
The Peak used to be bustling with buses after buses of tourists. it was difficult to get a photo of yourself with the city without others in it. Believe it or not, now it’s quiet. It’s a bit sad to say that, but hey, it’s still got the beautiful panoramic view of Hong Kong.
Don’t just stay put for one side of the city, go on I the trail and you’d see the island and also the Kowloon side in different views. it’s about an hour walk and you’d find yourself going back to the peak tower in a circle. it’s easy, pleasant and even doable for kids and elderly. Check out the historic benches along the way! Some are even a hundred years old.
The restaurants and shops in the Peak Tower are no longer charging tourists prices, they have become all very affordable. One memorable thing to do is to send a pre-dated postcard - maybe to yourself in the future, or to your love ones!#familytravel

Taking the peak tram
Address - The Peak Tram, 33 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong
The Peak Tram is of the world's oldest and most well-known funicular railways that actually rises to 396 metres above sea level. This was an attraction that we had to try out after seeing many photos and videos of it online. The iconic experience is sitting in an extremely tilted team while travelling up to the peak!
There are also lots of dining and shopping places up at the peak. We got to soak in the gorgeous views of the city from such a high vantage point. Truly a memorable experience!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

PEAK TRAM
Built in 1888, making Peak Tram difficult to make changes to this vehicle except for a few repairs. This makes the Peak Tram has a memory that is hard to forget by visitors who have ridden it. There are 2 stations on the Peak Tram Line, namely Garden Road Lower Terminus at the center and Upper Terminus at the top. In one trip, the Peak Tram will pass through 4 intermediate stations, namely Kennedy Road, MacDonnell Road, May Road, and Barker Road. However, the Peak Tram will not stop at these stations unless a passenger requests the train to stop by pressing a button on the train or on the platform.

The Peak Tram began operating in 1888. The Victorian Era train is going to the highest peak in Hong Kong. This holidays, I'm blessed that my mother and mother in law visited my family in Hong Kong. We happened to enjoy the journey by the Peak Tram.

Riding the Skyline: A Breathtaking Journey on Hong Kong’s Iconic Peak Tram
Today, I had the chance to experience one of Hong Kong’s iconic attractions, the Peak Tram, and it was truly a memorable journey! I started my day in Mong Kok, one of Hong Kong’s bustling neighborhoods. The air was filled with energy as locals and tourists swarmed the streets. From there, I decided to take the MTR, Hong Kong’s efficient subway system, to reach the Peak Tram terminal.
First, I walked to the Mong Kok MTR station, where I boarded the Tsuen Wan Line heading toward Central. The MTR was as smooth and fast as ever. After about 15 minutes, I arrived at Central Station. Exiting the station, I followed the signs to find my way to the Peak Tram terminus at Garden Road, which is about a 10-15 minute walk from Central Station.
As I walked, I enjoyed the sight of towering skyscrapers above me and the hustle and bustle of the financial district. Eventually, I reached the Peak Tram terminal, where a short line of eager tourists and locals waited. I could already feel the excitement building!
The Peak Tram ride itself was incredible. As the tram began its steep ascent up Victoria Peak, the angle of the climb made the buildings outside the window appear to tilt dramatically—a surreal experience. The view grew more breathtaking with each passing minute, with the dense cityscape, the harbor, and the greenery all coming into view.
The day ended with a peaceful descent back to the city, but the memory of that thrilling Peak Tram ride will stay with me for a long time. It was a perfect blend of urban adventure and scenic beauty!

The Tram Scenery - HK
It was rather a short but a beautiful ride. The loop is quite steep and the scenery is stunning. The rooftop offers a beautiful place for photos. It’s hard to take the front car as many people are lining up for it. Take the ride side seats and get your phones ready. Enjoy!

Must-visit places in The Peak Tram
The Peak Hong Kong
A place for amazing weather and scenic view of Hong Kong. We travel by MTR and walk for around 15 min to reach, while others are Q-Ing for ticket, me and my friends total of 3 families buy our Tix on the spot and we check in right after, fast and smooth.
Getting in the amazing and clean Tram and reach The Peak for the view, we manage to take some photos although it’s crowded up there. There are malls with lots of food choices, some shopping and coffee of course.
It would be amazing if you wait for sunset but it would be super Long Q and I am not doing that cause bringing the kids this trip.

The modern, well-maintained carriages provide comfortable seating and ample space to enjoy the sights.
One of the highlights of the journey is the opportunity to witness the city's transformation from day to night. As the sun begins to set, the skyline is illuminated with a dazzling display of lights, creating a truly magical atmosphere.
While the Peak Tram is a popular attraction, the efficient operation and well-organized ticketing system ensure a smooth experience. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing guidance and assistance as needed.
In conclusion, the Peak Tram is a must-do for anyone visiting Hong Kong. It's a unique and memorable experience that offers stunning views and a glimpse into the city's rich history.
