[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for The Peak Tower Sky Terrace 428 (Updated Jul)

In the bustling city of Hong Kong, there is a place where you can look down at the concrete jungle from above, and that is Victoria Peak. Taking the Peak Tram is a wonderful journey, not only offering a panoramic view of the city but also providing a historical experience. The tram starts at Central on Hong Kong Island, the commercial hub of the city, where the bustling crowds and skyscrapers make you feel the rhythm of urban life. As I stepped onto the tram, I felt particularly excited. When the tram slowly started to ascend, my view began to change gradually. The beauty of Hong Kong Island unfolded before my eyes as the cityscape slowly emerged at the foot of the mountain. At the beginning, the tram's slope is very steep, giving a slight thrill. Trees and flowers on both sides quickly recede from the window, and as the altitude increases, the distant Victoria Harbour, the skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island, and even Kowloon on the opposite side gradually reveal themselves. The air is filled with a slight chill, making it particularly comfortable. After about ten minutes, the tram finally reaches the top of Victoria Peak. Upon disembarking, I was greeted by a spectacular and magnificent view. Standing on the observation deck at the peak, the entire scenery of Hong Kong is laid out before you, especially at sunset when the golden sunlight casts shimmering reflections on the sea, creating an incredibly beautiful sight. At the peak, there is also a famous Hong Kong landmark—the Peak Tower, which houses an observation restaurant. I couldn't resist enjoying a cup of coffee here, savoring the leisure. Sitting by the window, the surrounding scenery and delicious food made for the perfect combination. Here, I could easily relax and feel the unique atmosphere of the city. After the delightful tram journey, I couldn't help but feel that the Peak Tram is not just a means of transportation but an excellent Hong Kong experience. As I descended the mountain, my heart was filled with love for this city, looking forward to returning to explore more possibilities. In the bustling city, having such a place to escape and feel the beauty of nature is truly a blissful enjoyment.

Here are 5 must-see tourist spots if you go to Hong Kong! ① Man Mo Temple A Taoist temple that suddenly appeared in the middle of Hong Kong. The coexistence of high-rise apartments and quaint temples is a sight you can only see here! It is recommended for those who want to try the local way of praying, as it is not a culture of offering money to the temple, but a culture of buying incense and offering it to the temple. 🕰️Business hours 8:00-18:00 💰Price per person: Free 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/siyB3EEAxVcnSwDh8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy ② Ladies' Market This is a very famous market street.

⏰ 10:00~22:00 📍 1 Lugard Rd, The Peak, Hong Kong Sky Terrace 428 is renowned as one of the best places to enjoy the night view in Hong Kong. While the scenery is beautiful during the day, visiting around 6 PM allows you to enjoy the sunset, night view, and the Symphony of Lights all at once. Sky Terrace is located on Victoria Peak, the highest mountain in Hong Kong. The night view from this high vantage point is breathtaking. You can comfortably reach Victoria Peak by taking the Peak Tram. Most visitors purchase a combined ticket for the Peak Tram and Sky Terrace 428. For the best views while riding the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak, sit on the right side. Similarly, when descending, it's recommended to sit on the left side.

Sights visited on Day 1: - Star Ferry + Victoria Harbour - Kowloon Park - Peak Tram + Victoria Peak ⛴️We stayed in the Wan Chai district in Hong Kong. We started our day around 9am. We got the Star Ferry across the Kowloon for 3 yuan per person, lasting around 10 minutes. 🥟On the other side, we went on a stroll along the Harbour, walking past the Clock Tower and along the Avenue of Stars. We then grabbed some food in Tsim Sha Tsui where there are a number of food options as you wander along. 🦩We then headed to Kowloon Park, a great spot to relax and explore (you might spot some flamingos!). 🚇From Kowloon Park, take the Subway to the Lower Station of the Peak Tram. The A1 Entrance of the Tsim Sha Tsui subway station is right at the exit of Kowloon Park. Take the Quanwan line 2 stops to Central (12.5 HKD per person, 6 minutes). Exit through J2 exit. Then walk 10 minutes to the Tai Ping Shan Peak Tramways by St John’s Building. 💴Adult Ticket Price: 136 yuan This ticket price includes a single trip of the peak tram and single entry to the Sky Terrace. Note: There are other deals that include return trips, or omit entrance to the sky terrace etc. 🚞The ride lasts around 7 minutes. Once at the top, enjoy views of the Hong Kong skyline and look around the shopping centres (where you can grab some food). 🌃We made our way to the Sky Terrace at around 6:30 in time to get a decent spot at the edge to watch the sunset and then enjoy the city skyline at night. Getting back down from the peak: * If you previously purchased a return trip for the tram, then you can get the tram back down. * There are also busses and taxis (that you can get to parts of the district aside from the Lower Station of the Peak Tram). Note: there are often long queues for all forms of transportation. Check out my other moments for day 2 of 2 itinerary for Hong Kong!

📍 Itinerary Overview: Hong Kong is a vibrant blend of culture, city life, and scenic beauty—and my 6-day adventure proved just that! Whether you are into sightseeing, food, or fashion, this city delivers. Here is how I made the most of each day: 🗺️ Must-Visit Attractions: • Victoria Peak – I took the historic Peak Tram up to one of Hong Kong’s most iconic viewpoints. The ride itself was thrilling, and the Sky Terrace 428 at the top offers a breathtaking 360° view of the city and harbor. • Madame Tussauds Hong Kong – Posed with wax legends from Jackie Chan to pop stars! A fun and interactive museum experience right at The Peak Tower. • Victoria Harbour – I took a peaceful ferry ride across the harbor and enjoyed the Symphony of Lights show. Truly a magical cityscape moment. • Big Bus Hong Kong (Red + Green Tour) – The Green Route was my favorite—serene, scenic, and informative, winding through the mountains and coastal views. The Red Route gave me a quick urban overview. • Malls & Shopping – From luxury stores to local finds, I explored Times Square Mall, Harbour City, and cute boutiques across the city. Great deals and stylish picks! 🍽️ Local Cuisine: The Hong Kong food scene was absolutely exquisite—flavorful, rich, and authentic. I tried local dim sum, roasted duck, pineapple buns, and freshly brewed milk tea. Every dish was a delight, from street food stalls to upscale restaurants. 🚖 Transportation: • Took cabs and trams, • Used the Octopus card for quick payments, • Easily accessible public transport made getting around smooth and stress-free. 📸 Photo Spots: • Sky Terrace 428 • Avenue of Stars near Victoria Harbour • Madame Tussauds • Central skyline from the ferry • Street markets and neon-lit alleys by night 🏨 Accommodation: Stayed at Regal Hongkong Hotel—perfectly located and convenient, though I was a bit underwhelmed by the executive suite. That said, the location was top-tier for food, shopping, and transit access. 💡 Tips for Travelers: • Take the Green Bus Tour in the late afternoon for the best views. • Visit Sky Terrace just before sunset for stunning golden hour shots. • Bring portable chargers—you will be taking photos nonstop! • Use your Octopus card to pay at most attractions and transit spots. 💬 Final Thoughts: From scenic views to rich culture and mouthwatering food, Hong Kong was one of my favorite city escapes. There is always something to do, see, or eat—and every moment was photo-worthy! I cannot wait to return. #HongKongItinerary #6DaysInHK #VictoriaPeak #SkyTerrace428 #MadameTussaudsHK #BigBusTour #VictoriaHarbour #DimSumLovers #ShoppingInHK #TravelHongKong #TripMoments #ExploreAsia #HongKongFoodie

#5月好去地方2025 Address: Peak Tram Station, Garden Road (33 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong) Atmosphere/Facilities: The Peak Tram Station combines modern and retro design, with exhibition walls and historical explanations in the waiting area, and the boarding area is neat and orderly. The view from the window is magnificent during the ride, especially the right seat overlooking the Victoria Harbour and the Central skyline with tall buildings. The terminal "Peak Plaza" is a concentration of shops, food and observation decks, with complete facilities and smooth traffic flow, which is a classic experience that tourists cannot miss. Price: (Round trip ticket) Adults HK$88, Children/Seniors HK$44 (cable car only, not including Peak Tower Observation Deck tickets) ※Combined tickets can be purchased separately, including admission to Sky Terrace 428 Observation Deck ⸻ Features: • Opened in 1888, it is one of the oldest mountain cable car systems in Asia • The whole journey has a strong sense of inclination, like gliding in the clouds, and is known as Hong Kong's "most interesting means of transportation" • A panoramic view of Victoria Harbour, Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island • Combined with the Peak Tower Observation Deck and the Peak Galleria, a complete sightseeing route is formed • Each car is designed in a retro style, full of nostalgic charm and check-in value Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) ⸻ ✨Experience: If you ask me which experience in Hong Kong is the most representative, then "taking the Peak Tram" must be at the top. This is not only a journey, but also a visual feast of history and scenery. From the bustling area of ​​Central, I climbed up to the top of Victoria Peak in a slanting manner. In just a few minutes, it felt like a century of urban transformation. I chose to go to the Peak Tram Terminal on Garden Road in the evening. There were many people queuing, but the route was clearly planned. While waiting, I could also enjoy the historical photos and video introductions on the wall, which made people have more respect for this cable car system that has been in operation since 1888. When I got on the carriage and slowly set off, I was immediately amazed by the "slope" - it was really slanting! It felt like I was going to slide off the chair. The cable car seemed to climb up the slope, passing through the green mountains and gaps between high-rise buildings, and the scenery kept changing. Sitting by the window on the right is the biggest benefit. You can see the city scenery on both sides of the Victoria Harbour all the way. The picture is so beautiful that it seems unreal, especially when the sun is about to set, the whole sky and the sea are dyed golden red, coupled with the gradually brightening city lights in the distance, like a dream. After arriving at the terminal, you will see the famous Peak Plaza and Peak Tower. In addition to shopping and dining, there is also Sky Terrace 428, the highest outdoor observation deck in Hong Kong. Looking down from here, the whole city is spread out in front of you like a model, and there is a completely different sense of shock whether it is day or night. The charm of the Peak Tram does not only come from its ability to take you up and see far, but also from the history and feelings behind it. For more than 130 years, it has witnessed the colonial period, economic takeoff, return and various changes today. It is one of the few means of transportation that allows people to "take on history". Although you can also choose to take a bus or taxi to the mountain, the soul of this journey is lost without the process of slowly rising and the heartbeat speeding up with anticipation. Of course, you may have to wait in line when there are many people, and you will need some patience in the peak season, but once you get on the cable car and watch the view slowly rise, the throbbing is definitely worth waiting. If you are willing to spend some time to choose a time period with good weather and around dusk, you can also get the double touch of daytime and nighttime scenery at once. In summary, the Peak Tram is not just a mountaineering route, but also a ritual that travels through the city, history and soul. It reminds us that sometimes, only by walking slowly and looking up can we see the most beautiful side of the city. Next time you come to Hong Kong, don’t just take photos and check in, take the Peak Tram yourself and let it take you "up" into the soul of this city. #香港 #香港峰 #香港岛最名泰平峰 #香港泰平峰 #峰电车体验 #峰电车站

First time in Hong Kong, First attraction in Hong Kong.

Don't go when there are long holidays in the mainland, otherwise the queues for each attraction will start from 1 hour, which will make you doubt your life. However, these attractions are really worth visiting. Some of the scenery is very beautiful and it is worth checking out. Don't miss these beautiful scenery. As for the food, some are really delicious, but the price is really not very good, so just try it!

Hongkong 🇭🇰 Address : The Peak Tower Highlights : View from the top Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

During my recent trip to Hong Kong, I had the chance to explore some of the city’s most popular attractions, and it was an amazing experience! I visited Victoria Peak for breathtaking views of the city skyline — definitely worth the trip up! The Star Ferry offered a fantastic ride across the harbor with beautiful city views, and the bustling streets of Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui were perfect for shopping and street food adventures. The vibrant atmosphere of the markets, the lively nightlife in Lan Kwai Fong, and the peaceful vibes of Nan Lian Garden gave me a great balance of excitement and relaxation. Hong Kong is a city that’s constantly buzzing with energy, and I’d highly recommend visiting these iconic places for a memorable trip.

Speaking of Hong Kong, it's the "million dollar night view"! This is a spot where you can see that night view in its entirety🥰 📍Location: Sky Terrace 428 🚍Access: From the Central Peak Tram stop "Fa Yuen Road Station" It takes about 25 minutes by cable car called the Peak Tram! 💞Recommended reasons: You can see the night view without anything blocking your view😻 It seems to be the only place where you can see Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Island, and Victoria Harbor at the same time🌃 There were a fair number of people, but I was able to take some decent photos📷✨ It was great to feel like I had the glittering night view all to myself😭🙏🩷 #HongKong #HongKongTourism #World'sThreeGreatNightViews #nightview #hongkong #Let'sGoOverseas

🌴 Recommended Attractions - Tsim Sha Tsui: Perfect for eating, shopping, and exploring. This area has everything you need in one place. - Peak Tower: Take the Peak Tram to the top and visit the Sky Terrace 360° for a stunning panoramic view of Hong Kong. The scenery is breathtaking, and the weather is usually pleasant. - Disneyland: A must-visit spot in Hong Kong. Don't miss the Frozen-themed area. Lines can be long at times, so plan your visit carefully. We recommend heading to this zone first upon arrival. - Ngong Ping Cable Car: Ride the cable car to visit the Big Buddha at Ngong Ping. Opt for the Crystal Cabin with a glass floor for an exciting experience and amazing views. 🚗 Transportation Tips: Personally, I love traveling around Hong Kong by bus. It's convenient, stops close to attractions, and involves minimal walking. Plus, the wait times are short. 🏷️ Tips: Hong Kong involves a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes. Also, many local restaurants still accept cash only, so make sure to exchange some money beforehand.

The Peak, a tourist attraction in Hong Kong that is one of the first check-in points for foreign tourists who must take the tram to see the view of Hong Kong or sip coffee and see the view of Victoria Harbour. To go up to The Peak, we must take the Peak Tram or tram up, which does not take long, about 10 minutes. When you get there, there are souvenir shops, cafes, and food to serve you. Taking pictures of the view also depends on the sky. You should choose to go on a day with partial sunshine. If you go on a cloudy day, there will be fog, making us unable to see the beautiful view of Hong Kong at all. Speaking of which, I want to go again!! Don't forget to buy a tram ticket through Trip.com first. #Get a discount without relying on luck

Family trip

Victoria Peak, located on Hong Kong Island, is one of the highest peaks in Hong Kong, with an elevation of 552 meters. From the peak, you can enjoy panoramic views of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the surrounding islands. On clear days, the stunning scenery of Victoria Harbor is visible, and at night, the breathtaking city lights are a must-see. As a local, I’ve visited Victoria Peak many times, but whenever friends or family come to Hong Kong, I still take them to this iconic landmark. For those interested in learning more about Hong Kong’s culture and history, you can visit Madame Tussauds inside the Peak Tower, which features wax figures of famous personalities from around the world. The traditional way to reach Victoria Peak is by taking the Peak Tram, one of Hong Kong’s oldest modes of transportation. The tram slowly ascends the steep slopes, offering scenic views along the way. (Although the tram has been upgraded, the views remain unchanged.) 🌟🌟🌟 One minor downside is the boarding process. While waiting in line, some people may rush forward to secure window seats, so be mindful of your safety to avoid accidents. If you enjoy nature, you can also hike up to Victoria Peak. Strolling along Lugard Road and Harlech Road’s circular trails allows you to appreciate Hong Kong’s scenery from various angles. If you don’t have time to stay at the peak until nightfall to see the city lights, you can head down to Victoria Harbor for a close-up view of the equally spectacular nightscape. 🌟🌟🌟 The evening at the peak can be windy, and indoor air conditioning might be chilly, so it’s advisable to bring a light jacket for warmth. 📍Address: Victoria Peak, Hong Kong Island 🕰️Opening Hours: Observation Deck: 07:00–22:00 Peak Tram: 07:00–22:00 (operates every 15–20 minutes) Sky Terrace 428 at Peak Tower: Weekdays: 10:00–21:00 Weekends and Holidays: 08:00–21:00 🌟🌟🌟 Transportation to the Peak Tram: MTR🚇 "Admiralty Station" Exit C1 MTR🚇 "Central Station" Exit J or K Walking around Hong Kong Island, you’ll find skyscrapers everywhere, perfect for capturing the city’s unique architecture. 🌃 If you haven’t tried the iconic Ding Ding Tram, it’s an affordable and convenient way to experience Hong Kong’s unique transportation system. It also stops near the Peak Tram station. 🚃 🌟🌟🌟 Besides the Peak Tram, buses are another option to reach Victoria Peak. 🚌: New Bus Route 15 HK$13 (approx. 35 minutes) 🚐: Minibus Route 1 HK$11.8 (approx. 25 minutes) 🚕: Taxi HK$60–$70 (approx. 20 minutes)
