It has beautiful views of the City. We took a regular bus to the top which was much cheaper than the tram & walked the scenic mountain path instead of the Terrace. Whole trip cost $22 :)

:) worth a visit. beautiful sight of hongkong night/day view. if you visit in winter and at night, make sure you bring some extra jacket. Its quite windy up there.

올라갈땐 센트럴에서 15번 버스를, 내려갈때 피크트램 타는것을 추천. I recommend bus 15 from central stn when you go up to the top of the peak. You can fully enjoy the scenary. Then take peak tram when you go back from the peak.

It’s better to see the amazing views in the evening when the city lights are on and there aren’t as many people.

Watch the FREE sunset from the west side of Peak Galleria for a unique view of Hong Kong island, then stroll 50m down Findlay Road (right turn btw Galleria & Tower) for a FREE crowd free viewpoint.

Hike up, or if you're feeling leisurely, take the tram up, to this quintessential tourist spot (we locals go too!) for the panoramic photo-op of Hong Kong. Grab a coffee in the mall for a sunset view.

Hongkong's local mountain. If you are looking for breathtaking 360° view over Hongkong, then you have to go here. Top sightseeing moment! Go up there by good weather to get the perfect view.
Brad HagerOctober 20, 2015
A MUST DO, when in Hong Kong. Breath taking view, stunning!! We took the Tram up and enjoyed it very much. Nice shops and places for food and ice cream on top. GREAT experience 😄👍
Rami TamimiSeptember 5, 2016
Must visit in Hong Kong . The view is unbelievable but make sure that there is clear visibility when visiting . There are lot of good Resturant and a mall I top of the hill too .
KhalidJanuary 14, 2019
This experience is a must. See HK from the top. Great little shopping and dining area too along with free wifi
Mary JoyJanuary 16, 2019
Best to visit during sunset - evening as you have the beautiful view of Hong Kong skyscrapers. It’s cold when watching during the evening so bring some jacket or coat.
Vitalis NeufeldApril 4, 2014
On crowded days you can take the small green bus N1 to the peak. Goes every 2 minutes from the Hong Kong Park stop which is just 2 minutes walking distance from the tram entrance. Costs only 9,80$.
Wouter BlokSeptember 3, 2017
The views. Best to have professional take it. With additional photoshop done on the spot. (Handy with groups) skip the 6 floors of souvenir junk by taking the elevator.
Paul HayesOctober 6, 2014
Head along Lugard road for a beautiful and quiet view. Avoid the crowded Sky Terrace 438. On a busy weekend evening be prepared to walk back down, about 30mins to central.
AbhishekNovember 25, 2016
Go at dusk time to view the awesome city lights of Hong Kong - it's not too dark to take beautiful pictures of the skyline. The lines to take the tram back may be long, so consider taking a taxi/Uber
Reem AlkhathlanSeptember 30, 2014
One of the best attractions in HK, you can spend a whole day here n do different kind of activities, hiking up 2 the peak, souvenir shopping...Best time 2 visit 5:00-10:00 pm.
Bennett W WongJuly 17, 2016
This is the best go to spot when you are seeking a spot for spectacular views of Hong Kong. Green line minibus provides service to and from here. Another way to get up here.
Priya KapoorJuly 22, 2012
Most refreshing experience of Hong Kong is a hike to and from The Peak. A nice reprieve from city life that can alleviate any stress. Just be sure to go on a nice day that is not too hot or too wet!
Maria Ellen LlorandoJuly 23, 2013
This was a beautiful ride, but going down you sit backwards! but it is beautiful with the lights of the city. There is usually a long line for the tram in the evening.
Ramada Asia PacificSeptember 13, 2013
Don't miss the incredible views from this peak rising 1,810 feet from the city floor. After experiencing this incredible sight, don't pass up the culinary delights that Hong Kong is so well know for.

Get ready to pay at each stage: for the tram, to see the 360 view & for a taxi on the way down if you stay late for night sights (HK$300) or you can wait 2 hrs. Octopus cards work on tram & viewpoint.
MrAnikiMay 13, 2012
No Hong Kong visit is complete without taking a photo on top of the peak tower. Go up to the viewing deck for your shots and don't forget to try the trail !
Urmika DeviJanuary 7, 2013
Cool view of the skyline and harbor on north and south sides of HK island. The walk down the mountain's narrow, windy paths through a vertical jungle was amazing. A peaceful escape from the city.
Turkish AirlinesSeptember 15, 2015
Want to witness one of the best skylines in the world? Then visit Victoria Peak and check out the marvellous view that Hong Kong has to offer!
Ksenia BDecember 13, 2014
This view never gets old FOR REAL. No matter how many times I have been here, is just different every single time. And is still amazing. You really feel like refreshed and energized. Must see!
Ahsen KubancApril 17, 2016
View and of course tram peak is amazing it's like taking you away from the city life for a while and at the top it brings you whole new ambiance.
Jin Ngee ChiaAugust 24, 2014
Don't go up on the Peak Tower to see the Hong Kong skyline. Walk Lugard Road instead to get the view for free and away from the crowds.
Charlie RoustonOctober 15, 2014
Amazing view. A little overcrowded and expensive but still Nice to see. Do NOT take the tram up from the bottom. Go by bus no1. To go down, just walk 250m and go to the next (empty tram stop)
Elisabeth MihelsonApril 4, 2018
Breathtaking park , lots of different routes , be prepared to walk for few hours, so make sure you wear appropriate shoes
KTMay 25, 2016
Instead of taking the tram up here, you may choose to take their mini bus service. It's cheap and you'll get the feeling of taking a roller coaster ride :D
Lisa NJune 8, 2013
Got the tram up on a Friday morning around 9:30-10 with no wait. You can use your Octopus card to pay. Weekends and afternoons get very busy so be prepared and go early!
Ana MontesDecember 15, 2012
While ur in hk, visit macau just a one hr ferry ridevaway (bring passport to enter ferry). While in Macau, hire a guide if ur onoy there a cpl hrs. Cheap and. You'll see entire island quickly.
_September 18, 2014
If you are feeling adventurous, hike up to the peak instead of taking the tram. The view will be worth it.
Ross HillApril 10, 2014
Skip the crowded tram and get a taxi to the peak, then buy some water from the shops before walking along Lugard Rd for the most expansive views.
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013
Make sure you get to the top of the peak before 8 pm. You don't want to miss the light show or the amazing views of the HK skyline at night.
Magdalena MrázkováMay 23, 2017
If you're lucky enough to avoid cloudy/misty weather it's a breathtaking view to have Hong Kong at the palm of your hand
Hester BrandsmaMarch 14, 2016
A must do. Great for clear days or evenings to have a great view. Hike and take old team back
Krista BasilioJanuary 25, 2013
An unforgettable experience uniquely in Hong Kong! It has so much to offer that you can spend one day to fully enjoy the fun and excitement at the top of Hong Kong!
Kate CarlisleMay 10, 2016
I love the view! I love the ships and restaurants. It's the best attraction here. I adore the city views. Best at night without question!
Keith LeaSeptember 25, 2016
It's very pretty. Just grab a bubble tea and meander. Make sure to bring a few bottles of water in the summer.
Dwight Jason RonanJuly 25, 2013
MUST DO: Take the Green Minibus Number 1, instead of the Peak Tram. The queue to the tram ride (both going up and down the Peak) takes at least 45 minutes.
Milli ParkusJanuary 7, 2017
What a view! Totally worth to go here. It's crowded but a MUST place to go in Hong Kong!
Leonardo SilvaApril 12, 2015
Been here 10+ times
If you're a girl, I highly recommend going to the bathroom outside the peak tower (e.g. the peak gallery) BEFORE you go up. There are NO bathrooms up there and the line in the tower is massive.
Terence ChanApril 4, 2019
Nice view day and night but only two spots to see it for free. Need to pay extra for the rooftop sky terrace 360 which is a rip-off.
ichiAugust 8, 2012
Almost everyday, there's a smog over HK's sky during daytime, which makes the sky really shining. So, maybe it'd be hard to open your eyes. Much less see the sight or take a photo
Sheel KohliDecember 29, 2015
Been here 25+ times
Fantastic views of Hong Kong island. Take the morning trail up, walk around Lugard Road, explore Mount Austin and then walk down to Pok Fu Lam reservoir
L MFebruary 2, 2019
Most beautiful view in Hong Kong. I recommend coming earlier as it can get crowded.
Swiss In Hong Kong 🇨🇭🇭🇰August 3, 2016
Been here 5+ times
One of the best views! Really crowded - come there early or walk the old peak road to the top! You'll sweat a lot, but it's worth it.
Ryan PaulJanuary 30, 2017
Take a taxi, NOT the tram. The hike/trail around the top has great views, and nice walk. We did it with a 10,8,and 2 year old.
