Purchasing a package ticket on Klook in advance shortens the waiting time for the cable car on the left, and using QR to board the cable car and enter the attractions is very convenient and fast, and it is highly recommended.

Both the tram and the Sky Terrace are great, but if you walk along the promenade that circles Hong Kong Island, you can get a 360-degree view of Hong Kong Island, so you don't need to buy the Sky Terrace ticket.
