Published: 9 August 2013Words: Yoshke Dimen

The Victoria Peak is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Hong Kong. It
allows breathtaking panoramic views of Victoria Harbor. More about Victoria
Peak here.

The best way to get there? By the iconic and historic Peak Tram, of course. From the
Lower Terminus located along Garden Road, getting to the Peak is easy. But getting
to the terminal, thats the confusing part.

Most budget hotels and guesthouses in Hong Kong are in Tsim Sha Tsui, an urban
district in Kowloon. If your hotel is located here and you wish to get to the Victoria
Peak, heres a quick guide using the citys expansive MTR system and the iconic
Peak Tram.

1. Take the MTR to Central Station.

2. Once at Central Station, follow the signs to Exit J2. There are plenty of them so
dont worry about not finding it.

3. After emerging through Exit J2, youll see the Chater Garden. Turn right
immediately after the exit and walk across the garden.

4. Scan the skyline and look for the Bank of China Tower. Its easy to spot it; thanks
to its unique architecture. Check out the day and night photos of the building below.

5. Keep an eye on the tower and walk towards it. Youll know youre on the right
path when you find yourself crossing a street and seeing a flyover. Head directly to
Garden Road.

6. At one point along the street youll see a small alley to your right called Battery
Path. You may take it to see the beautiful St. Johns Cathedral, a brief but worthy
stopover. You can simply walk around it and youll be back along Garden Road. If
youre not interested in this church, just continue walking along Garden Road.

7. Youll find the Garden Road Peak Tram Lower Terminus to your left.

8. Fall in line and youll eventually reach the ticket counter. Peak Tram and Sky Pass
roundtrip ticket costs HKD 75 for adults and HKD 36 for kids. One way costs HKD 63
and HKD 29 for adults and children respectively.

9. Board the Peak Tram. Enjoy the ride.

10. Get to the top of the building to reach the Sky Terrace. Enjoy the view of Victoria
Harbor from here!

Thats it! Hope this helps.
