irresistibly alluring experience. Dive right into how you can experience the best of what The Peak offers – from shopping, recreation, dini
and taking memorable snapshots!
The Peak Tram
The Peak is often dubbed Hong Kong’s most spectacular destination, but even the journey reaching it can be equally as spellbinding. The
journey takes approximately 6 minutes, rises from 33m to 396m above sea level along a 1,278m-long track and is visually memorable

photos, have your phone ready and steady to chronicle your ascent, as you defy gravity on this classic mode of transportation. With over
130 years of tramway excellence, the  Peak Tram commenced operation in 1888 to serve the British governor and The Peak’s resident
Today, this is one of the world’s oldest funicular railways and can be enjoyed by everyone. It has become one of Hong Kong’s most popula
tourist attractions, welcoming more than 6 million patrons a year.

The Peak Tram now returns in the summer of 2022 after a major facelift. The 6th generation carriages will sport a retro green exterior as
tribute to the 3rd and 4th generation carriages from the 1940s to the 1980s. The upgraded Peak Tram will feature larger panoramic windo
that enables passengers to take in the stunning skyline in enhanced views.

To provide a more enjoyable, efficient and comfortable experience, Peak Tramways has completed a significant upgrade project. The
project included brand new tramcars, the replacement of all haulage, control and signalling systems, new ropes and track rails, and the
refurbishment of its Central and Peak Termini to facilitate the beautiful new, larger capacity tramcars. In addition to reducing passenger
waiting times by over 70%, visitors will be greeted by a dynamic, engaging and brand-new entertainment experience. The new experience
introduces 5 engaging zones that include: Eye of Infinity, The Beating Heart, An Icon is Born, Once Upon a Tram, and Go Wild at the Peak
the Central Terminus.
The Peak Tower with Sky Terrace 428

Terrace 428. It stands stunningly 428m above one of the world’s most stunning cityscapes. Take your sweetheart to the top of Hong Kong

Should you feel like a break, even the dining here comes with jaw-dropping beautiful views of Victoria Harbour — you get anticipatory

other casual dining outlets and cafes. And for those looking to stay indoors, shops and entertainment venues set against the beautiful
backdrop of the city cater to all ages and preferences! The Hong Kong home of Madame Tussauds is also located here, with over 100

Hike at the Peak – Peak Circle Walk

Hiking at the Peak is a popular activity. Winding around the highest point on Hong Kong Island, the Peak Circle Walk offers stunning
vistas of the city in more ways than one. Start at around 90 minutes before sunset, and you’ll be looking at Hong Kong Island’s scenic sou
side in the glow of afternoon light. Set off from the Peak Tower and go along Harlech Road and Lugard Road before returning to the start
point at just the right time, when twilight gives way to night and the city becomes a galaxy of shimmering lights.
Hike at the Peak – Lugard Road Lookout and Lions Point View
Pavilion
Built in 1913–1914, this road is named after Hong Kong’s 14th governor, Sir Frederick Lugard. The sections that are narrow, cliff-side path
are called ‘plank roads’. Walk along for about 20 minutes and you’ll arrive at the Lugard Road Lookout, which offers a spectacular
panoramic view of everything from Sheung Wan to Tsim Sha Tsui, as well as Victoria Harbour. Keep following the road until you reach
Harlech Road, after which you will see the Lions Pavilion tucked away beside the Peak Tower, which is hugely popular with tourists fo
the views it offers for free.

Victoria Peak Garden and former Mountain Lodge

If you go up either Mount Austin Road or Harlech Road Fitness Trail, you will find yourself at Victoria Peak Garden. What was once th
site of the Mountain Lodge — the Governor's summer residence on The Peak — has been replaced by a delightful, lush Victorian-style
garden above the masses at the Peak Galleria.

Twisting paths navigate around sprawling lawns and pagodas, and there are Victorian features such as sundials and wrought iron, as wel
as an incredible vista of Hong Kong, which makes it an ideal spot for a photo op. The kiosk there also provides much needed refreshmen
for an afternoon break, as you kick back while awaiting the brilliant sunset on the Peak.
