Hong Kong Peak Tram
The Peak Tram is a "not miss" while planning your vacation to Hong Kong. It is the easiest, most fun and best way to Victoria Peak or Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.
Tram pulling into the stations
Originally built, 120 years ago, to transport the wealthy people living in The Peak from the Central District, it is now mainly a tourist attraction, transporting visitors to Victoria Peak. It really is a lot of fun, although when we were there it was really hot inside.
Waiting to board to take it back down.
This attraction ranked #27 and 4 stars for Things to do in Hong Kong on Tripadvisor, with over 140 reviews.

Tips on Visiting:
- Try to go at less popular times, otherwise the lines are really long. Usually for sunset they are crazy.
- There is nowhere to buy food or drink (except a roadside stand) when waiting in line to go up. There is lots to buy at the top.
- If it's busy people may push to get on the tram
- Sit on the right hand side to get great photos as you ascend.
- If you want to see both the night and the day view - go twice, once early day and once after sunset, otherwise it is really busy.
- If you have never seen a wax museum or like wax museums, check out Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
