Went on a weekend so hughe line up for the tram. But almost vertical ride and view at the top is all worth while. There is a wax museum and nice restaurants so plan to stay for at least 3 hours. I just wish I picked a better hotel to make this enjoyable trip to HK complete. More

I think it has the best night view in the world. However choosing the right time to go is tricky. Normally HK is covered by fog/smoke, you really need to go on a clear day to get the best out from it. It will be too croweded on weekends so it is better to go on a week day at... More

Offers the best views of the magnificent city of Hong Kong. If there is one sight to see while in HK, this is it!!!! Take the tram and enjoy the experience. Bus 15C (to the left in front of the terminal) runs from the Star Ferry terminal to the tram. Alternatively, you may catch Bus 15 (to the right in... More

well, this is a must to do in hk. Taking the tram is a nice experience, bumpy and fine ride. When you get to the top, take a short 20 min walk along the mountain rail, the weather was nice and had a small breeze~you will still get a little sweat after walking for a while thou. Then head back... More

A ride to the top of Victoria Peak while riding the peak tram. It's crowded though. At the top there are several buildings that have lots of restaurants and stores that have great food and clothing/jewelry. At the Peak Tower you ride the escalators to the viewing balconies which offer the best view of Hong Kong there is! More

What used to be a simple restaurant and lookout has become a commercial plaza of tourist shops. Good views but an expensive way to get them! More

Don't attempt a trip on the Peak Tram on a weekend or public holiday! The lines are too long. But the trip to the top is well worth while on other days - even when it's shrouded in fog. When we visited, there was a total white-out at the top. But I swear it must be what heaven's like! More

We got the Peak Tram up to the top and then the bus down, the tram both ways was pricey and very busy. Average wait to get back was about 45mins. We wanted to get away from the hundreds of people with cameras so we took the nature walk which goes along the path as you leave the Peak entrance.... More
