I like Peak Tram and love riding on it. It seems like bringing me to the good old days of my childhood whenever I ride on it. On part of the Peak Tram route, you will feel your neck is dragging backward as the tram is climbing up the Peak at a steep angle, but I like it. One the... More

Long queues for not that interesting an experience. Buses also drive up and get you to the same viewing place without the lines (and for less money too). If you do decide to go up and get a return ticket, remember the lines can be as long to come down as go up. Again there are buses from the basement... More

This tram takes you to the peak. Beware of the long wait times. The tram can accomodate only a few passengers, hence the long wait times. The ride is smooth and the view around is so romantic, but the tram would be jam-packed most of the time!

Stopping half way along was quite an experience - would we keep going up or go backwards! After a slight shudder it kept going up the very steep slope. While short, it was definitely worth the trip. Just get there EARLY to avoid the long queues.

It's a short, but really steep ride. I had to do a double take when looking out the windows at times because on some stretches, it seemed like we were tilted 45 degrees. This attraction is best visited early in the morning. I arrived there around 8 am when the lines were still short, and I was surprised by the... More

Looking out the windows at how steep we we climbing and at the skyscrapers below was crazy. Definitely a unique experience (and slightly scary for me, as I'm weirdly afraid of falling backward while ascending hills in cars, etc. :). Great way to get to the Peak, then take the double decker bus down to see more. Excellent way to... More

If visiting The Peak is on your sure shot to do list in HK then taking the Peak Tram for at least one leg of the journey is a must. You'll get to experience the history as the tram traverses its way through the historic route. However beware of waiting in the queue to get into the tram which can... More

Last week I wanted to go up to the peak with my colleague. I had been there 3 times before and never had to wait longer than 10-15 minutes. However, this time the waiting time was between 1-1.5 hours! Since we wanted to go up and didn't really care about the tram, we decided to take a cab. Adult price... More
