I had a bit of difficulty locating the terminal to this place, but ask a cab driver and they will tell you. The wait to get onto the tram can be quite long and depending on the day you are unlikely to get a seat. It is one of the must do things in Hong Kong though because it takes... More

You might think this is a tourist trap or cheesy but really you must do it. The tram ride is absolutely incredible and you are at such a steep angle that the buildings look to be leaning sideways! It is hard to describe but incredibly fun and so much more scenic than taking a taxi! The view at night from... More

We waited in line for about 45 minutes to take the tram to the top of Victoria's Peak. The views are spectacular but you pay for it by waiting in the queue to ride up and waiting in the queue to ride back down. We went about 4 pm, and the lines were twice as bad when we came back... More

Don't waste your time or money. I felt like sheep being herded into a field. When you arrive at "the peak" it's just a glorified shopping mall. The view wasn't even worth it. Much better places to go in Hong Kong.

An iconic choice of transport to take you up to the peak and back. When I went there was no shortage of seats but I have heard it can get unbearably busy. Good views too.

The queue was very long and it took us nearly 35mins to board the tram. The waiting area was very crowded and stuffy. The ventilation was quite bad. On the other hand, it was a good experience. Halfway through the ride, you can get a glimpse of the HK city view.

I actually want to go to the peak with car but my friend said they had an excelent time so i think that the peak train would be perfect if i ride the peak train to go to madame tussaud (the peak)

Not worth the price of admission. The waiting area is jam packed and stuffy, and the ride leaves much to be desired. The views are obscured by foliage, and the ride down has the passengers facing backwards. The initial jostling for seats destroys the vacationing mindset, and then comes the dissappointment of the actual ride.

We usually take the tram up to the peak and take the bus down when going home. It's a tourist attraction so you also pay a premium for it. One ride up is enough ;-) It's a great experience especially if you haven't tried a steep tram or funicular like that. Plus you get great views while going up. Of... More

The Peak Tram is a Funicular railway which takes you to the top of Victoria Peak. It is cheap and quite fun (HK$40) for a return ticket and it is also a very popular tourist attraction, so the queues can be quite long. I would imagine Children would love this trip. To get there take the bus 15c from the... More
