Victoria Peak & The Madame Tussaud's wax museum

Victoria Peak (太平山) is a mountain located in the Hong Kong Island, it is the highest mountain (altitude 552 m) on the island but not in the entirety of Hong Kong. The Peak is a major tourist attraction offering the spectacular views covers central Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour. To reach to Victoria Peak, you may consider to take Peak tram from the Golden Road Peak Tram Terminus or by taking buses from the Central (Pier 7) or minibus from MTR. We chose to take the Peak tram ride to the Victoria Peak. By taking the J2 Exit of Central MTR Station, we walked for about 15 mins to the Garden Road Peak Tram Terminus, there were some signage showing the direction to the Peak tram terminus after the J2 Exit.




At the Peak Tram Terminus, there are a few ticket packages you might consider to purchase as buying this package is more economic. We bought "Two Way Peak Tram and Madame Tussaud’s" tickets for about HKD160 per person.

The Peak Tram runs every day including Sundays and Public Holidays, between 7:00 am and midnight. The tram departs every 15 minutes. I would suggest to sit on the right side by the window when going up or left side by the window when going down, you would see the fascinating view along the journey.

The tram will stop at the Peak Tower on the Peak, if you want to go to the Sky Terrace, just take the escalators up to the highest floor. Ticket is needed to enter to the Sky Terrace, it cost HKD 20 per person. You might also consider to buy the package which include the Sky Terrace entry when you're at the Garden Road Peak Tram Terminus, I believe it would be cheaper if it is included into the package.

Sky Terrace is the highest viewing platform that offers a 360 degree view of Hong Kong.
