Q: What is the best way to go to The Peak?
A: The Peak Tram. The Peak Tram was first introduced in 1888. It was built for the daily commuters rather than a tourist attraction though nowadays majority of the passengers are tourists. The ride is quite steep and it climbs up to 396 metres above sea level. The panorama view of the harbor is spectacular. Ticket prices are here.

A: If you go by bus 15, mini-bus or taxi, you will have a different view. The road is winding for you are going up hill. You will also see the upper class' expensive houses and flats in Hong Kong which easily cost over HK$10,000,000.
If you are lucky, you can get the open-deck 15C from Central Star Ferry pier.
But sometimes they just have ordinary bus.
