- Attention Hong Kong travelers! 🌟 If you're planning on going up to the Peak, skip the tourist trap and save money by taking the bus instead of the train! 🚌 Not only is it cheaper, but you'll also get to enjoy stunning views along the way. 🏞️
Once you get to the top, avoid the Peak Tower and take a leisurely stroll along the Peak Circle Walk for an equally breathtaking view for free! 🚶♀️🌅 Trust me, it's worth it.
Don't fall for the expensive admission fees and long lines at the Peak Tower. Instead, opt for a peaceful walk with fresh air and stunning views of the city. 🌇 Plus, you'll get some exercise in while avoiding the crowds.
So next time you're in Hong Kong, take my advice and enjoy the Peak without breaking the bank! 🤑

The Tram is part of the experience. But yes the tower is a tourist trap
As a Hongkonger, I agree
88 HKD 🤦♂️ 95% of people who pay thousands of dollars to fly to Hong Kong are willing to spend an extra $11.29 USD to experience it. You don’t have to go if you don’t want but calling it an outright scam is utter nonsense! It’s like calling a restaurant a scam because it’s cheaper to cook at home.
The peak tram is an experience. Theres no substitute to it.
Expensive tho
And imo not worth it
Great for couples or group of friends or alone trip, ppl with children ain’t easy to use the walking path even if they’re really budgeting their trip😅 Anyway thanks for sharing this which likely to try with friends👍🏼
What ? who can’t walk for ten minutes 😂
@@jackthebackpacker dude, I think he’s referring to kids like baby or toddler 😂
@@hellwhoareyou ah fair point 😂 I thought six year olds
Thank you for sharing your experience.😊
Remember, Hong Kong and usd are different.
Amazing tips 👌🏻 👏🏻
As a local, I 100% agree. I have taken the Peak Tram only twice here, and the views from it are comparatively horrible compared to the no. 15 bus, which has really good views as the bus slowly climbs the mountain + it’s cheap.
The SkyTerrace is an absolute trap - it doesn't give a full view of the city and it's expensive. The Lion Pavilion next to the Peak Tower, although it's free, you can't get a full view. Lugard Road is free, has really good views, doesn't have many people, and you can use it for exercise as well.
It was just below 10$ for return .
You are dead right! Perfect advice. You can also continue along Lugard Road and walk down if you fancy it! Plus there's a rooftop above the Peak Galleria shopping mall that has a free view of the scenery from the other side of the Peak, which is great too. 👏👏👏
What do you mean the Peak Tram is a tourist trap? It is literally the traditional way of travel to the Peak and it is unique.
The price makes it a tourist trap. I doubt locals commute using it as it’s too expensive .
@@jackthebackpacker Well, I would recommend it as a one time experience.
Got a little confused - where should we take the bus to?
I understand but it is for the tram experience and the sky terrace. We know it is a bit more expensive. Many people want to ride on a tram. And Sky terrace is a bit of scam but there are people who still want to go up. If you want to take the bus that is ok but I still would recommend a tram trip
I ❤️ your honesty & videos. This message is URGENT !!!
I am 65 & planning to visit various places of tourist interest during an 18 hours layover in Hongkong alongwith my spouse. Please advise;
1. Is it worth moving about during mid June Days especially when I have read that Hongkong is EXTREMELY HOT in the month of June.
I am seeking your honest and straightforward opinion whether it is possible to explore Big Buddha, The Peak and the Symphony of Lights.
Secondly, we may like to take a little rest fir 4/5 hours, after landing at Hongkong for which you are requested to share details of some neat and clean hotel about which you know details and have stayed. Can we check-in after reach I ng such a hotel.or do hotels in Hongkong allow only after 3PM?
A return reply shall be highly appreciated.
Thanks brother I will be doing this next week.
Nice thank you
I can go there whenever I want because I live in Hong Kong😅
Please tell the Bus Number to go to the peak and from where/which Station to board it. We shall be going there from the Hongkong Airport. An early reply shall be highly appreciated.
Just look it up on Google maps it tells you the bus number. To save money take the bus from the airport instead of the train.
Bus no 15 from Exchange Square
Whats the name of the mall?
Bus rides are more fun. Tram? Unless the HKTA trims the tree branches blocking the view is not worth it.
Hey thanks for the informative video.. a quick question, how crowded it is to board a tram ? And what’s the best time to visit?
I didnt take the tram so i have no idea. Best time to visit probably around dusk then you can see day and night view
A wait time for an hour at night.
Is this the Victoria Peak?
Yessir
Too bad, just booked a minte ago from Klook
