THE PEAK
THE PEAK TRAM
The highest point on Hong Kong Island , this has been the city ’ s most exclusive neighborhood since pre-handover times — back then it was the cooler air that attracted the rich and famous ; in the post air-conditioning era , the views of one of the world ’ s most spectacular cityscapes keep them coming . By day your eyes stretch across sparkling skyscrapers and Victoria Harbour all the way to the green hills of the New Territories . In early evening this panorama melts into pink and orange before reincarnating as a dazzling galaxy of light , shimmering beneath you . And if you listen carefully enough , you can hear the city humming below .
The Peak is often dubbed Hong Kong ’ s most spectacular destination , and the journey there is equally spellbinding . The trip takes approximately 6 minutes , rising from 33m to 396m above sea level along a 1,278m-long track . Enjoy a visually memorable experience as skyscrapers glide past at seemingly impossible angles .
Ideal for videos and photos , have your phone ready to chronicle your ascent . With over 135 years of tramway excellence , this is one of the world ’ s oldest funicular railways and a must-visit attraction , welcoming over 6 million patrons a year .
