From 1888 to today: A rich legacy
The Peak Tram, Asia’s first funicular railway, has a storied history dating back to 1888 when it was first introduced as a means of transportation for residents and governors seeking access to the cooler climate and scenic vistas of Victoria Peak.
Over the years, the tram has evolved into a beloved cultural icon and a quintessential Hong Kong experience, attracting millions of visitors from around the world.
Significantly upgraded experience
Discover the enhanced Peak Tram after a significant upgrade project, featuring new tramcars and modernised systems for a more comfortable and efficient journey. The refurbished Central and Peak Termini accommodate these larger tramcars, reducing waiting times and offering a dynamic, immersive entertainment experience across five engaging zones.
Thrilling ride with stunning views
The tram ascends just under 400 metres in a mere 1,278 metres, making the journey from Central to The Peak Tower a thrilling 10-minute experience.
At an incline that ranges from 4 to 25.7 degrees, passengers experience a surreal optical illusion that makes it seem like they are upright while the buildings appear tilted.
