HK$45 for a return journey...thats 4 pounds! and yes you can always hike up there (no buses right) and if you're coming from Mainland China you'll have to change money immediately...yes but if you're coming from any other country no need right?

Good advice. Poo and pee in the To Kwa Wan neighbourhood in Hong Kong is bad behaviour, should tell Mainland Chinese viewers not to pee and poo!

Actually, DO take the tram!!! But what you should do it take it only on the way down the Peak. Go to the Central transit station either by MTR or on the Star Ferry. Take the #15 bus up to the Peak, sit in front of the 2nd level and you're going to get about a 40 min tour past some of the world's most expensive real estate and some surprisingly lush vegetation on your way up. Wander around the Peak then enter the mall area to cool off a bit and take the tram down. Sit on the left hand side facing Kowloon and you'll get some epic views on the way back.

Hiking up to Victoria Peak is fantastic. You save hundreds of HK$ and avoid the crowd.

Try not to greet a Hongkongese with “Ni Hau”. This is Mandarin and we speak Cantonese. This is loke greeting an Englishman with bonjour. Actually we seldom greet strangers like this. If you want to start a conversation with a stranger in Hong Kong, you can simply say “Hello” or “Excuse me”. Most of us can handle simple English. Or you can say “Ng Hou Yee See” which is “Excuse me” in Cantonese.

Octopus card not Oyster card !

Do take the tram to Victoria Peak. The tram is the iconic and historical transportation for the peak ( other than the sedanchair , which is long since unavailable ). Even try standing upright without holding on for support while the tram is on a steep incline. Just for fun . Otherwise , you can always take the double decker bus to the peak too . Do speak English with the locals, especially in Central, even the middle age generation will surprise you. Please don't beat up on the street vendors, for small items, I always pay them for their asking price , make their day for them for once , you know you can well afford it !

note: you also can take a bus to peak

Unless you are running late when crossing the Victoria Harbour during rush hours, use the ferry rather than the MTR/underground - not just it cost more, it's overcrowded and full of frustrated workers wanting to get back home plus you won't get across the harbor quicker than those who caught the ferry Coming from a Tai Po Market resident

The card for transportation is called The Octopus card in Hong Kong. And the peak tram is amazing. It's a good way to embrace the scenery.

I am from hk and this is all wrong

My recommended thing to do in Honk Kong: Places: Visit 360 (for nice view and island thing to do) Ocean Park(Theme Park) Peak aka in the vid Star Ferry port (Go there at 5:30 hk time best view plus sometimes light shows and there is a shopping mall near) shopping: Causeway Bay SOGO Central walk around and you can already see lots of malls and tall buildings Kowloon Shopping Streets Harbour City aka biggest mall in HK Pacific Place is great Food: Hong Kong street food (MUST) (You can find food everywhere you turn on the streets) Ovaltine Must try if you can (drink) transportation in hk: old tramways Mtr Star Ferry (best at night is ok if you really want to)

I actively encourage people to write about politics in HK. That's the only way to protect the current freedoms we enjoy.

Why would you not take a taxi? We took a taxi from our hotel in Tin Hau to the peak and it only took around 20 mins and cost about 15 euros. Taxis are plentiful and quite cheap compared to Europe.

The Peak tram lines are indeed long whether you ascend or descend. The views are obstructed by the tree branches. I just take bus 15 or the light bus. More fun ride and looking at the many different architectures in the Peak neighborhood and upper Mid-Levels is fun. Those are also pricey real estates.

If Most of you guys wanted to know what you dont need to do in Philippines? 1. Don't disrespect elders 2. Don't flirt with the police, fireman, etc. 3. Don't descriminate president 4. No drugs 5. Don't say Manny Pacquiao wil lose his fight 6. Use Hands if you're eating dekat i will update soonl

Although it is expensive to ride on the peak tram, it is an experience of a lifetime! But if this is not your first time to the peak, then I would recommend on catching the Bus 15 from Central to the Peak, its around $10 HKD, which is 1/10 of the peak tram ticket price.

i would agree with everything except the taxi/train thing, it's usually much much quicker to take a taxi, and they are not expensive compared to other major cities.

It is true that public transport in hk is remarkably convenient, we locals just go everywhere by mtr (underground). Taxi in hk are still a lottttttttt cheaper than many countries in the west, i personally do not consider hk taxi as expensive compare to western nations.
