The area
Neighbourhood: Central
When people think of Hong Kong, most imagine movies with famous skyscrapers dominating the skyline. The area widely known as Central is the major financial hub and entertainment district, which truly lives up to the saying, “work hard, play hard.” Bars stay open late into the night and there just happens to be a street party every weekend. Although everything seems to be operating at lightning speed, Central is full of quiet, hidden gems. Nestled between office towers are wet markets and some of the city’s oldest restaurants dating back to the 1960s. Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Retreat from the crowds by exploring beautifully restored historical buildings and even a green oasis of botanical gardens.

- travelqueenNiUnited Kingdom394 contributionsA nice way to get to the PeakAn easy and novel way to get to the Peak. I've known the line to be hours long, so I just hit upon it at the perfect time (3.45pm on a Friday) and got straight on the next tram- once you are through the ticket gate there is no crowd control; I just missed getting hit by a large tour group who shoved their way on despite arriving at the last minute- there should be staff monitoring the wait before someone gets hurt. Sit on the right for the best view!Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 21 October 2023
- dianne c150 contributionsshort train ride with decent viewHuge crowd when we were there in the afternoon. Short ride, the view is nice(especially at night), if you are on the right side. It can get pretty competitive getting on the train since everyone wants to sit on the right side.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 26 October 2023
- TheLeongOhanaUnited States7,497 contributionsNo Lines Close to OpeningBased on my last experience of trying to take the tram, we came close to opening to take one of the first trams to the top. This was the best time to avoid the crowds and lines. At the base there was a few displays about the history and operation of the Peak Tram that were interesting. We purchased the round trip ticket and secured a seat close to the front with about half a dozen other passengers on board. The same happened on the way down but we had to wait a bit to board since the tram was fuller by mid morning. The front was perfect for the views of just how steep the tracks were to the top. I noticed that we passed a couple of station stops (Barker, May and McDonald Roads) but the tram kept going. Not sure if these were functional at one time but each had a signage with some photos and details about them. The novelty of taking the peak tram was satisfied. A little more expensive than taking the bus to Victoria Peak but without the windy roads and much faster.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 October 2023
- Chris BStevenage, United Kingdom187 contributionsFast efficient trip with excellent views.The ride up the peak is well worth it and not just to avoid the walk. The views grow more spectacular as you go up and the service is fast and efficient. The cars are modern, clean and airy and the service runs regularly with the trip taking about 5 minutes. If you are doing the sightseeing bus trip the cost may be included in the bus price.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 31 October 2023
- Wraxall_TravellersBristol, United Kingdom1,067 contributionsGreat Views over HarbourThe trams are now modern and spacious, though most people try to sit on the right hand side going up to get a glimpse of the harbour. At the top, disembarkation is through a complex containing shops. Across from the exit is another shopping centre, so it is now easy to get food at drink at the Peak. However, there are a few viewing platforms around with great views to the harbour. Expect the area to be busy as it does attract tourists.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 November 2023
- SJones41Kearsley, United Kingdom226 contributionsWorth a visitThis is a must when visiting Hong Kong. There is a short but steep tram ride to the top. At the top the views are great.

- Michael BMelbourne, Australia46 contributionsPeak Tram is a Must !!Walking distance and easy to get to from Ovolo Central Hotel. When you get there it is simple to buy ticket then wait a short time for next tram. It is an amazing experience and the work done to build the system is extraordinary. You travel up the side of mountain which can be very steep taking photos as you go hoping they will do the scale of the tram system the justice it deserves. The ride takes about 10 minutes and the views as you make your way up the mountain are mind blowing. Once at the top of the mountain you can then ascend up to the lookout via escalators for some amazing photo opportunities as you overlook Hong Kong, the harbour and across to Kowloon. There are a number of restaurants/cafes/takeaway catering for everyone at the Peak. We spent a good 4-5 hours at the top and enjoyed every minute of itVisited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 11 December 2023

- Orator11Singapore, Singapore7,471 contributionsQuick And Easy Way To TravelQuite an interesting and enjoyable ride up and down to and from the Peak, especially the part where the gradient is steep and it looks like the entire horizon and buildings are tilted at a crazy angle. There are also models of previous train models on display along the track and up at the Peak. Would suggest purchasing your tickets online through apps like Klook etc, so that you can just show the QR code to enter, rather than joining the queue to buy tickets.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 January 2024

It is true that there can be awfully long queues for the Peak tram but I still like it a lot and it is an iconic tourist attraction for good reason. There are lovely views over Hong Kong and the incline is steep enough to have a sense of thrill, especially if you think for too long about the cables snapping (I don't think it's just me who does that).
The tram dates back to the 19th century and made its first trip in 1888, at a time when the only other way to travel to your swanky Peak mansion was by sedan chair. One can't help but wonder if there was a collective sigh of relief among sedan chair carriers that they no longer had to carry wealthy tycoons up the mountainside quite so often.
For the best views, sit on the left hand seats if you are going down (right seats going up). I also like to sit close to the front if there's space because going down you feel as if you are hurtling down the hill.
Once at the top, there is a lot more to explore beyond the commercial Galleria and Peak Tower complexes. For example, the Peak Circle Walk is an easy, flat looped path, starting and finishing beside the Peak Lookout Café. Also, look out for the old 1950s cypress green coloured tram, positioned outside the Galleria. I didn't realise at first that you can go inside. It’s free to enter and they have good selection of free tourist maps and guides.
Having been to the Peak when the weather is bad, I’d recommend waiting for a clear day. If it’s raining, misty or smoggy, then visibility is poor and on a bad day, views can be non-existent.
NOTES:
i) It is worth checking the Peak tram website before going. An ongoing upgrade programme means there can be closures, eg it will be closed on 29 Oct.
ii) There is currently a special deal where if you have one of the four letters from ‘PEAK’ in your name, you get 50% off the Sky Terrace/Tram ticket

This review is on the peak Tram only and does not include The Peak. I’ve done The Peak Tram many times before and this recent visit was to specifically experience the sixth generation Peak Tram which was launched last month. I read that there are additions of new tramcars, haulage and control systems, new rope and track rails, as well as refurbishments in the new Peak Tram. Well, it was indeed a more comfortable, quieter and faster ride. Really appreciated the roof windows too as now we get to see the sky and surrounding trees. The floor of the tram is not flat, it is done in waves, so be careful when you walk in the tram. I think it may have been done this way as a safety measure as the funicular goes through the steep hill. There are a few choices and combinations of tickets (which you can use octopus to pay) and we decided on a one way ticket up as it allows us flexibility of alternative transport coming down (which we took the bus down as it was more convenient since the bus takes you right down to train stations). See one of my photos for fares and combinations. The accessibility to the Peak Tram is not too good as there’s no train station nearby (it’s a 15 minute walk from the train station and it’s not a nice easy walk if you are not familiar with the road). If you are used to walking, then go for it. Just Google the map. Most locals will just walk.

The how to get there page on the official site is not mobile friendly. Cannot pen the picture. And the suggested MTR exit is not accessible, without making sure that readers are alerted to it being so. In my case, I was visiting with an elderly who had trouble getting up the long flight of stairs at the suggested exit/route. This is unacceptable in this day and age and for something that is supposed to be tourist oriented.
Then there was the lack of crowd management. The Garden Road station was marginally better than the Peak station, which had no crowd management. The Garden Road station had no clear indication of who should queue where, and the workaround was having multiple staff stand there and verbally direct. Then the access to the antique trams which were supposed to be photo spots were completely blocked off. As it is, I didn't get a chance to take photos there at all.
Then the Peak station was just bad. No one was managing the queue at all. Had one staff standing at the station entrance (head of queue), and one staff at gate helping with the QR codes. As it is, we had to suffer multiple people cutting into the queue.
A HKD5 trip on the MTR has better crowd management than you, which is more than 10x the ticket price.

My wife and I undertook an afternoon and evening Grayline HK tour of Hong Kong Island on 29 December 2019 which culminated in a Bauhinia Harbour Dinner Cruise incorporating the nightly Symphony of Lights experience.
The tour covered a number of key attractions of Hong Kong Island commencing with a ride on the famous Peak Tram to reach the top of Victoria Peak (reviewed separately) to see the view of all views.
The Peak Tram was officially opened to carry passengers up to Victoria Peak in May 1888. The system was comprehensively rebuilt in 1989 by the Swiss company, Von Roll, with a new track, a computerized control system, and two new two-car trams with a capacity of 120 passengers per tram. According to Wikipedia the line has two pronounced curves, one to the left immediately after leaving the lower terminus, and the other to the right in the upper half of the ascent. The gradient also varies considerably throughout the ascent. It is a single track route and a passing loop, with two trams.
Now let me review our own experience on the Peak Tram. Well it happened to be raining on the Grayline HK tour and so the view of views on top of Victoria Peak was a ‘no show’. However, we found the tram ride to the Peak in the famous historic and iconic Peak Tram a pleasant and novel experience. Unfortunately, in our world travels we often only get one opportunity to see key attractions and this was the case with the Peak tram and Victoria Peak. We just had to make the most of the miserable day of rain presented to us.
Getting to the Peak by the Peak Tram was a fun experience, much like many funicular railways we have travelled on elsewhere. This tram rises to 396 metres (about 1,300 feet) above sea level. It’s a steep railway and we experienced the illusion of the high rise buildings we passed on the right side appearing to be on an incline and falling toward The Peak. We caught the tram at the lower terminus located on Garden Road, Central and reached the top of Victoria Peak via four intermediate ”request stop” stations –Kennedy Road, MacDonnell Road, May Road and Barker Road. The journey took around 5 minutes with a speed of around 13.5 mph. The tram seats were quite comfortable and our car was full of passengers.
We enjoyed the Peak Tram ride to Victoria Peak. It was a pity, however, that the bad, wet weather spoilt the viewing prize that should have been waiting for us at the top of the Peak.

The iconic Peak Tram reopened in August after nearly 15 months of renovation work to the terminus and track. We have also been introduced to the 6th generation trams, which have taken over for the retired 5th generation tram who ascended and descended the tram line here for the past 32 years.
So what is new? The 6th generation tram is different but to the vast majority of passengers, you won't notice much different. I recently visited midweek just after lunch. In the past, there might have been 1+ hour long wait to board the tram. In Nov 2022, you walk right up to the next tram for boarding. Price is HK$62 (one-way), HK$26 (ride back down) and you pay with your Octopus, by taping the till, just like using a bus or MTR train. You can also purchase Peak Tram Sky Pass combo ticket at the ticket booth if you want to access to the Sky Terrace at Peak Tower.
Tram capacity is now 210 people per journey. Journey time was 15 minutes going up and 18 minutes going down during my visit, longer than in the past. Perhaps they are still sorting out mechanical matters or just simply taking it slower these days with no tourists in Hong Kong.
The 6th generation design is a bit sleeker and back to green colour, Most seats are fixed in the uphill direction while the back cart only includes downward facing seating. The wooden seats are thin, seem to have more curve than before, providing better lumbar support. There is a pronounced wave floor with groves to provide better footing when the tram is at its steepest position going up and down the mountain. Upper windows come down, providing opportunity to raise your camera and take photos with not glare from window glass.
Upper terminus has some visual information about the Peak Tram, track and other tidbits on display. otherwise it is much the same as before. The Lower Terminus by contrast has been given a major makeover. The History Gallery is still there as well as the ticketing counter. However, there is now a revamped tunnel entrance to the platform and LED light section, providing colourful distraction that feels unnecessary at present because there is no wait to board the tram. However, this will likely be a welcome and helpful distraction for children in the future when the long queues return.
In the end, some noticeable differences for the history buffs with an eye for the particular. Otherwise, for most everyone else, it is pretty much the same old beloved Peak Tram that we are so glad to have returned to service here in Hong Kong. This is a top attraction that is so easy to enjoy, time and time again.

Enjoyed it way more than I thought I would, very cool way to get to the peak. It’s very good value too and they accept credit card which is a big plus. When you get on the tram sit on the right side of the driver, you will get a better view of the city as the tram ascends to the top.

I have always wanted to go on the Peak tram and to visit Hong Kong ,it has been on my bucket list for so long .This year I got my wish and we went on the tram on my birthday in January .I think we paid around £5 for the ride which took mere minutes.The tram clings on to the mountainside and before you know it you are passing skyscrapers and being pushed back into your seat as you climb higher and higher . It is great fun.
The views from the top of Victoria Peak are amazing ,this also gives you chance to get your bearings and you can work out where everything is below. I loved it .
If I ever go back to Hong Kong I’m going up again on the tram in the evening so I can see the view again . I expect it’s even more special looking down at all the lights .
Do this if you can . It’s just lovely .

Of course you have to do it the tram ride it is spectacular.
No queues when we where there because the riots where putting off people traveling to Hong Kong.
However they have somehow managed to ruin the peak level with the shopping malls all facing in so no views over Hong Kong, I assume they have done this to force you to pay extra to go to the viewing platform. I will let you in to a little secret go to the public facilities and step out at the back and you can get and get a photo over Hong Kong (attached) and contemplate what could have been achieved with better planning.

I hiked up to Victoria Peak but was pretty tired at the end of the day and it was night time, I opted to take the Tram down. There is a station at the top near the mall, tickets were reasonable compared to other trams I've been on. There are great views from the tram as it goes near vertical it seems. The drop off location is somewhat far from where I wanted to be, but not a bad walk to get to where the restaurants and shops were. The Tram itself was pretty comfortable, can fit three people in a row and it was quick getting down. I liked the old school feel to it, pretty cool! The hike to Victoria Peak is steep, so I feel the tram is a great alternative for those that do not want to walk to the top.

Will it be a Wise idea to reach Peak at 5pm and go top?
Are there any busses that take you directly to the central pier for your way down ?
Will we be able to reach the central pier by 7.30pm to enjoy the symphony light show ?

Hi! I would like to ask, is there any taxi stand near the Peak Tram?
You you go down from the peak by tram, is there any nearby taxi who can send you to your next destination?
Thanks.
Written 22 December 2019
Ther is a taxi stand right outside the kiosk where you buy tickets to the tram. Usually one or two taxis are there waiting. I would recommend you download the hk taxi app before you arrive in hk and when you have WiFi, you call a cab. Otherwise, just behind the kiosk is a busy road called Garden Road with a Pacific Coffee. Taxis come down this road very often.

We did go and look at the tram on the Sunday and saw the line of people waiting to buy tickets and got told it would be at least an hour .
I recommend you go during the week and early if possible

What's the best time to go and enjoy peak tram? Morning 8am or afternoon at 4pm?

I preferred the morning, as you can spend a few hours enjoying the experience and the remainder of the day and evening is yours to explore other parts of Hong Kong
