Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the best way to get to the Peak Tram? A: You have to take the MTR (the subway) first. I personally prefer walking from the Admiralty MTR station. It's about a 10-15 minute walk, and for the first part, you're mostly on sky bridges walking through buildings.
Q: Why do you like the Admiralty MTR station more than Central station? A: For me, it's all about planning the day. If I'm visiting Ocean Park during the day and want to go to The Peak at night (which is a great combo!), the Admiralty station is just one single stop away from the Ocean Park station. If I were to go from Central, I'd have to make a train transfer, which is just one extra step.
Q: Any tips for riding the Peak Tram itself? A: Yes! As you're going up, the best city view is on the right side of the tram. But don't worry if you can't get a good seat right away. I found that you're allowed to stand up and move to a different spot to get a better view once the tram gets going. Just be careful, it gets really steep!.
Q: How do I buy tickets? Should I get the Sky Terrace option? A: I just bought my tickets right at the counter when I got there, though you can also buy them online. My biggest recommendation is to get the round-trip package that includes the Sky Terrace. It's a bit more pricey, but in my opinion, it's totally worth it for the best experience and the most amazing, unobstructed views.
Q: What about food up there? A: They have a great little traditional street food corner!. I definitely recommend trying the egg tarts (they have both the traditional flaky pastry kind and the modern cookie-base kind). I also really liked the sugar puff (or sa-yung), which I feel is getting harder to find in dim sum places these days.
Q: Was it hard to get back down? A: The line for the tram going back down was definitely longer than the one coming up, but I found it moved really quickly. Once we got to the bottom, we just took a short taxi ride back to a nearby MTR station to get back to our hotel.
