Peak Tram
山顶缆车
A hillside funicular that opened in 1888 and climbs steeply to Victoria Peak, a classic way to head up the mountain.
The Peak Tram runs from the lower terminus on Garden Road in Central to the Peak Tower on Victoria Peak. The full journey is about 1.4 kilometres, with a maximum gradient of roughly 27 degrees. Sitting on the right side gives the illusion of skyscrapers leaning, along with views of Victoria Harbour. A sixth-generation carriage upgrade was completed in 2022, offering greater capacity. An exhibition on the history of the tram is located beside the Garden Road terminus. During peak season, queues can exceed an hour, so consider buying a combined ticket that includes the Sky Terrace observation deck, or book online in advance. For the descent, you can take Bus 15 or a minibus instead, which offers equally good views along the way.
