The Iconic Peak Tram, one of Hong Kong’s most popular tourist attractions, has proudly served Hong Kong for 130 years, serving more than 6 million passengers per year.

A substantial upgrade of the Peak Tram system and stations commenced in January 2019, scheduled for completion in early 2021. The upgrade project will replace the current tramcars, which have a capacity of 120 passengers, with new 210 passenger tramcars.

They are also planning to completely refurbish both upper and lower termini and create additional queueing capacity at the Lower Terminus for up to 1300 passengers, in a comfortable and entertaining environment.

For such a comprehensive upgrade, some temporary suspension to the Peak Tram service will be unavoidable. The first suspension will start from Tuesday, 23 April 2019 for approximately 2-3 months.

However, during the service suspension period, road transportation to Victoria Peak will still be available and The Peak Tower and Sky Terrace 428 will remain open.

We regret the inconvenience caused on account of this suspension.
