However, travelers often make mistakes when they visit this famous hilltop.

Made in Hong Kong Frank the tour guide is going to show readers travelers’ four common mistakes at Victoria Peak in this post.
- Take the Peak Tram late
- Take the round trip Peak Tram ride
- Enjoy Symphony of Lights Laser Show at the Peak
- Go shopping at the Peak
Frank the tour guide’s easy Hong Kong Island private tour can show Victoria Peak and other major highlights to clients easily.

Frank looks forward to showing clients the good Victoria Harbor view at the lookout point at the Peak.
Take the Peak Tram late
A lot of travelers have no good travel plan.

Travelers should have a well-planned to do list for Hong Kong trips.
They may have different excuses to wake up late, eat the breakfast late and leave the hotels late.
So they can only take the must-do activity, Peak Tram ride, late.

The Peak Tram car at the temporary platform. It will retire soon. Travelers can take the new one in late 2021. For details, please browse Frank’s another post.
However, if travelers don’t take the Peak Tram early (before 1000 in the morning), they mostly cannot dodge the big crowds at the Lower Peak Tram Terminus in Central.

Crowds at the Peak Tram terminus in the afternoon of Easter 2021.
They need to wait in long lines and waste a lot of valuable sightseeing time.
Frank the tour guide’s easy half day Hong Kong Island highlights private tour can help you to dodge the crowds at the Peak Terminus.

So clients can take the Peak Tram easily and visit other highlights of Hong Kong Island, Aberdeen, Stanley, Repulse Bay, easily.

Take the round trip Peak Tram ride
A lot of travelers buy the round trip Peak Tram tickets to take the tram go back and forth the Victoria Peak.

Old Peak Tram cars with new look before retirement.
The round trip tickets’ higher price is not the crux of the problem.
If you take the Peak Tram to go uphill and to go downhill, travelers will see the same view two times.

Peak Tram is the most popular sightseeing activity in Hong Kong
If travelers just buy the onw-way tickets, they can have more flexible itineraries.

Enjoy Symphony of Lights Laser Show at the Peak
Night view at the Victoria Peak is good.

Good night view from Victoria Peak.
So a lot of travelers try to enjoy the famous Symphony of Lights Laser Show at the Victoria Peak in the evening.
However, if you see the largest light and sound show at the lookout point of the Peak, you can only see the laser and light.
Travelers cannot enjoy the background music of the show.

The promenade near the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier is a good place to enjoy the laser show at night.
So the laser show is not the complete one!
It is better to enjoy the laser show on the waterfront promenade of Tsim Sha Tsui.
