Take a ride back in time to Victoria Peak

Word to the wise: Avoid purchasing the combined ticket which includes a return tram pass and entrance onto the Sky Terrace - instead take the very easy (and free) trail for fantastic views without the crowds.

For over 120 years, the tram has taken passengers from Central up an almost vertical 1,200 feet to Victoria Peak (and has never been involved in an accident). The steepest funicular railway in the world was first constructed for the exclusive use of Hong Kong's governor and wealthy residents of the Peak, but now largely carries visitors wanting to soak up spectacular panoramic views of the skyline.

Whether ridden during the day when the harbour glistens in the sun, or at night when the lights of the skyscrapers twinkle like neon stars, the unfolding views as the tram slowly ascends the hillside are truly stunning.

Buy a ticket from the Lower Peak Tram Terminus and look at tram memorabilia from the past two centuries in the Peak Tram Historical Gallery while you wait for the next tram.
