[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for The Peak Tram (Updated Mar)

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.

#cable car Peak Tram ~ "Colorful under a million night views" Hong Kong has many distinctive modes of transportation. Today I would like to introduce to you the oldest mode of transportation in Hong Kong - the cable car! ! The scenery on the top of the mountain is one of the "three best night views in the world", so be sure to experience it! "Peak Tram🚠": The altitude is about 396 meters, and the journey to the top takes about 6 minutes. It has a history of 136 years and is one of the oldest "cable railway systems" in the world. At first, it only served the residents of Victoria Peak and the Governor of Hong Kong. Now it has been newly renovated. The appearance is dark green and has become a very popular attraction in Hong Kong🇭🇰~ In addition to the light show that can be seen in Victoria Harbor, you can also enjoy it at Victoria Peak at 8 o'clock every night~ 🏷️Victoria Peak Attractions: "Lingxiao Pavilion": It is an excellent place to view Victoria Harbor, and the "Sky Terrace 428" on the top floor is the most important! Here you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the entire prosperity of Hong Kong~ ⏰Opening hours: Weekdays 10:00-21:00 Holidays 08:00-21:00 "Madame Tussauds": There are many world celebrities reproduced one to one. Come and take photos with your favorite heroes and goddesses! ⏰Opening hours: 10:30-21:30 📃Secret techniques for riding: 1. It is recommended to purchase the package online first! ! Don’t think there aren’t many people there on weekdays! ! There are so many people there every day that it’s unbearable~ 2. On the way up the mountain, remember to choose a seat on the right 👉 (if you can get a seat) so that you can have a panoramic view of the scenery along the way. 3. Choose the time to visit carefully. Even on weekdays, there are quite a lot of people. Especially starting from 5 pm, everyone will prepare to go up the mountain to watch the light show at 8 o'clock. And 8:30 is the peak time for going down the mountain. It is recommended that travelers try to avoid it. Open early or open early! 4. If you don’t have to take the cable car, you can take a taxi (40-50 Hong Kong dollars) or bus. However, this cable car is full of historical significance, so it is recommended not to miss the opportunity to take the cable car. 5. If you have an Octopus card, you can directly tap the card to save time on buying tickets. The round trip price is the same, but it is more cost-effective to book online first.

#HongKongTravel 📍HongKongPeakTram 💚PeakTram is one of the must-see places for HongKong travel! 💚Before Corona, I couldn't ride it properly because of the huge crowds, but these days, the number of visitors has decreased so it's really easy to ride it! Of course, landmarks are a battle of wits no matter which country you go to, right? 💚If you buy a ticket in advance, you can get a voucher that can be used right away without exchanging a ticket! 💚The night view is nice, but I visited during the day because I wanted to see Hong Kong at a glance! However, I recommend going at night! Since the weather in Hong Kong is so humid and it rains often, I think the night view is better! 💚If you ride the Peak Tram, which has a cute visual that looks like something out of a movie, you'll feel like you're in an amusement park : ) #PeakTram #HongKong #PlacesToVisitInHongKong

#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 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. #thepeaktram #hongkongtram #hongkong

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

The Hong Kong Peninsula Cable Car has finally reopened. I haven't taken the cable car to the summit for a long time. Now I have reached the sixth generation cable car. The body is 3-sided glass. Enjoy the view of the Victoria Harbor cute. Because the cable car road is very steep, there are and drop stations along the way, each station opens the door the station is a horizontal line! Rocky Good Cable Car + Lingxiao Pagoda has a package discount, I do not know if there will be good people like me, have not been to Lingxiao Pavilion this, because it has to pay $, so the top of the mountain will not pay $ into, to see the view of Hong Kong It was really pretty, but it was so windy that I couldn't stand still! At night, we went to the Central Ferris Wheel to enjoy the night view. It's cheaper than before to take the Ferris wheel, and you have to turn 2-3 times, so I stopped by! #HongKong #PeakCableCar #CentralFerrisWheel

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.

Recently, I took advantage of the sunny weather after the storm and went to the top of the mountain to try out the latest model of the sixth-generation mountain cable car. After checking the information, I found out that the cable car has been in operation as early as 1888, making it one of the oldest means of transportation. The government spent more than NT$700 million to renovate the system. The new card was manufactured in a Swiss factory. There are two cards in total, and both can accommodate strollers or wheelchairs. The newly opened bus also offers a 25% discount on tickets, heading to the city center where you can overlook the skyscrapers and port. There are few tourists now, so this is definitely a good opportunity to be the first to try it out. The ticket office at the cable car terminal has also been completely renovated and expanded, with an ancient cable car model exhibition and a 270-degree full-scale large-screen display, which is perfect for checking in. #HongKongCheck-inHotspots #LocalTours #PeakTram

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

Planning to take the Peak Tram in Hong Kong? Read this first! Here are some key tips from my recent visit: 1. Go in the Morning – No need for an early start, but aim to arrive by 11 AM at the latest. By lunchtime, the crowds get overwhelming. 2. Book Your Ticket in Advance – The on-spot ticket queue is long. Save time by purchasing tickets online so you can head straight to the tram. 3. Choose the Right Seat – For the best city views, sit on the right side when going up. If possible, grab a front-row seat for an even better experience. 4. Check the Weather – Avoid visiting on cloudy or foggy days, as the view will be disappointing. Plan your trip for a clear day to make the most of it. 5. Consider Hiking – If you're up for an adventure, skip the tram and hike the Peak Trail instead. It’s a scenic way to enjoy Hong Kong’s skyline. #hongkongguide #hongkongtrip #localguides #thepeaktram #hongkongtrip #hongkongtravelguide

In the bustling city of Hong Kong, there is a place where you can look down at the concrete jungle from above, and that is Victoria Peak. Taking the Peak Tram is a wonderful journey, not only offering a panoramic view of the city but also providing a historical experience. The tram starts at Central on Hong Kong Island, the commercial hub of the city, where the bustling crowds and skyscrapers make you feel the rhythm of urban life. As I stepped onto the tram, I felt particularly excited. When the tram slowly started to ascend, my view began to change gradually. The beauty of Hong Kong Island unfolded before my eyes as the cityscape slowly emerged at the foot of the mountain. At the beginning, the tram's slope is very steep, giving a slight thrill. Trees and flowers on both sides quickly recede from the window, and as the altitude increases, the distant Victoria Harbour, the skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island, and even Kowloon on the opposite side gradually reveal themselves. The air is filled with a slight chill, making it particularly comfortable. After about ten minutes, the tram finally reaches the top of Victoria Peak. Upon disembarking, I was greeted by a spectacular and magnificent view. Standing on the observation deck at the peak, the entire scenery of Hong Kong is laid out before you, especially at sunset when the golden sunlight casts shimmering reflections on the sea, creating an incredibly beautiful sight. At the peak, there is also a famous Hong Kong landmark—the Peak Tower, which houses an observation restaurant. I couldn't resist enjoying a cup of coffee here, savoring the leisure. Sitting by the window, the surrounding scenery and delicious food made for the perfect combination. Here, I could easily relax and feel the unique atmosphere of the city. After the delightful tram journey, I couldn't help but feel that the Peak Tram is not just a means of transportation but an excellent Hong Kong experience. As I descended the mountain, my heart was filled with love for this city, looking forward to returning to explore more possibilities. In the bustling city, having such a place to escape and feel the beauty of nature is truly a blissful enjoyment.
