This cable-hauled funicular railway has been scaling the 396m ascent to the highest point on Hong Kong Island since 1888. A ride on this clanking tram is a classic Hong Kong experience, with vertiginous views over the city as you ascend the steep mountainside. It's become so popular that the whole experience was upgraded with larger trams and a bigger lower terminus in 2021.
The Peak Tram runs every 10 to 15 minutes from 7:30am to 11pm; booking in advance or using an Octopus card to pay for the ticket will help reduce your queuing time. Note that the ticket office will push the fare that includes entry to the Sky Terrace 428 viewing deck (HK$122/148 per one way/return). Be sure to sit on the righthand side going up for the best views.
