After undergoing a massive facelift, Hong Kong's iconic Peak Tram has reopened to take travellers on a delightful journey to the Peak, where you can admire breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour and the skyline from 396m above sea level.

Opened 1888, the oldest funicular railway in Asia once attracted over 6 million visitors each year before halting operations last year. With a budget of US$102 million (3.7 billion baht), it now wears the classic Peak Tram Green in homage to its history and prior generations of tramcars.
