The Peak Hong Kong

The Peak is Hong Kong’s top viewpoint, smack in the middle of the city but high enough to give insane views of Victoria Harbour, skyscrapers, and mountains. Ride the historic Peak Tram (since 1888!) up, then hit the Sky Terrace or free decks for panoramas. It’s more than just photos—think hikes, quirky museums, and dining with a view.

Recommended sightseeing time: ~2-4 hours Address: The Peak, Hong Kong

Queue was orderly and organised whilst waiting for the tram to head to the peak. Just scan qr code given by trip.com at turnstiles. Although only a short 10 minute ride, the views headed up were stunning and best seated on right side of tram to see the city down below. If this is missed, fret not as the views at the peak itself is breathtaking and many pics can be taken then. There are trails, viewing points and shopping activities at the peak. Public bus service is available if one purchases a single way tram ticket. Journey via bus downhill is pleasant and takes about 40 minutes.

FAQs about The Peak Hong Kong

  • Is the peak in Hong Kong worth it?

    Yes, 100%—but only if you time it right. Go on a clear weekday (avoid holidays/smog) for sunset views over Victoria Harbour that’ll blow your mind. Skip the Sky Terrace (HK$148) and hit free spots like Lugard Road instead. Crowds and queues can sour the vibe—go before 9 AM or after 8 PM to dodge tour groups.
  • Why is The Peak so famous?

    Three reasons: History: Asia’s oldest funicular tram (1888), built for British governors. Views: Unbeatable 360° panoramas of HK’s skyline, harbour, and islands. Gradient: World’s steepest tram ride (25.7°)—feels like a rollercoaster!
  • How long does it take to do The Peak?

    Quick visit (tram + Sky Terrace + photos): 1.5–2 hours. Full experience (add Peak Circle Walk + dining): 3–4 hours. ⚠️ Queue warning: Tram lines take 60–90 mins midday—book online or take bus #15 up.
  • What is The Peak in Hong Kong?

    It’s HK Island’s highest point (552m), home to: Peak Tower: Mall with Sky Terrace 428, Madame Tussauds, restaurants. Peak Tram: Historic 7-minute ride from Central. Hiking trails: Free paths with epic city/harbour views (Peak Circle Walk).
