An 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!

Huge 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.

Based 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.

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.

The 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.

This 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. You can pay for dual ticket to go up to the top of the building which works out cheaper. It gets busy at sunset.

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 it

we arrived around 10am and there are already a crowd waiting to board the tram. there are no proper quene and everyone just wait on the platform. The first cabin are crowded w young toddlers on their school outing. Had to stand on the tram when it is going up the steep hill. Fortunately the ride was short.

The tram area at the bottom, the ticket area and the trams have undergone lots of upgrades to much improve the experience. We last did this around 2018 and found the trip easier than car, taxi or bus. Love the views and its a quick journey and relatively inexpensive

Quite 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.
