Hong Kong’s skyline may still glitter as reliably as ever, but getting to one of its most famous viewpoints is about to cost more. From next Monday, the city’s iconic Peak Tram will introduce a revised fare structure that pushes ticket prices higher across categories, with the sharpest increases affecting children and senior passengers. For a city where the tram ride is almost a rite of passage, the announcement has sparked conversation—but not necessarily surprise.
For travellers planning a trip to Hong Kong in the coming weeks, this change is worth noting. The Peak Tram, which ferries visitors from Central to Victoria Peak, has long been one of the city’s most popular attractions, offering dramatic, gravity-defying views of skyscrapers tilting below. Now, that experience comes with a noticeably steeper price tag.
