The Peak Tram

The Peak Tram is a Round trip tram in Central Hong Kong 🇭🇰 that carries passengers from Garden Road Admiralty to Victoria Peak via the mid levels. It provides the most direct routes and provides stunning views over the city of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 from the top. I have been on this tram several times over my travels to Hong Kong before and after the renovations and I have to say it’s vastly improved. The new trams will take 210 people. I love the clear roof so you can see up. It’s fantastic. On a clear day, the views are spectacular. You are looking at the harbour and the skyscrapers of Hong Kong. At Victoria Peak, besides the views, are some shops where you can buy souvenirs and some restaurants and cafes if you’re wanting something to eat and drink. There’s ample places to get some fantastic photos. The ride up is very steep and can get crowded at times. It has operated since 1888. After a lengthy renovation and upgrade, it reopened on August 27, 2022. It took three years to build the original Peak Tram. Most of the heavy equipment and rails needed for the construction was hauled uphill by the workers with no mechanical support. It was opened for public service 28 May 1888. I would definitely recommend going to the Peak Tram Historical Gallery, it’s very interesting and informative. The queue for the tram is pretty long but it moved fast. Despite the crowds, I thoroughly enjoyed my ride and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hong Kong. Thumbs Up!!! 👍👍👍

A must do when you're in Hong Kong. There was a pretty long queue, but it moved fast. Their newest trams have a capacity of 210 persons. This will take you to an incredible view.

The tram goes up a pretty steep climb. It's a good experience and you get good views of the city from above. There is a shopping complex up there which has some good souvenir shops if you are a tourist. Ticket prices are costly as other things in Hong Kong

This has changed so much since I last came here 30 years ago. Superb views overlooking the Hong Kong harbour. Catch the peak tram up and walk down. It's a bit steep at times, but you are rewarded by visiting the Botanic gardens at the end.

Superb fun! I sat in the front carriage on the right, so the views were great and the ride enjoyable. Not sure it was worth paying extra and taking all those escalators to the viewing deck, it was overcrowded with selfie takers. Great views can be enjoyed from the road at the top

Lovely experience taking the tram up towards the peak. I have a feeling that going up is beating than down as you face backwards when coming back down. Lovely views of Central and views of Kowloon across the harbour.

Definitely worth a ride to tick it off your list. New and modern, you can see the older versions wayside, as you go up or down, on a side track. Try to get to the front of the tram for best views

It has very nice of the city at night time, but for a person that can’t handle cold wind, you might to avoid December or January to visit this place. Be reminded that you will have to buy additional ticket to visit the platform. And the queuing for return was quite bad, long Q and strong wind at the outdoor area.
