The Peak Tram was opened in 1888 and is the steepest cable car in the world. You can easily get to Victoria Peak, one of the most important tourist attractions in Hong Kong. The journey from the terminus station in Central to the upper terminal at the Peak Tower takes about 10 minutes.

The lines at the Central Terminus can be very long because everyone wants to go to the peak. If you don't like crowds and have some time, you can also take the footpath to the peak. Worth it...

The loop walk (in particular the northern part) is a MUST here on the Peak! If the line is too long, this may even be a good replacement for the observation platform...

Hiking

Definitely a must do when in Hongkong. The Peak Tram and a walk around The Peak are popular and famous for a reason. The views are spectacular.
Try and be early (before 11am) to avoid waiting times.
