Ther is a taxi stand right outside the kiosk where you buy tickets to the tram. Usually one or two taxis are there waiting. I would recommend you download the hk taxi app before you arrive in hk and when you have WiFi, you call a cab. Otherwise, just behind the kiosk is a busy road called Garden Road with a Pacific Coffee. Taxis come down this road very often.

I personally would be avoiding visiting at this time

I believe it is closed until about August for renovations? Would be worth checking the website. Even if the tram isn’t working, it would be great to get to observation tower

We used our Australian MasterCard in the two cans we got. However like others have said it’s much quicker to get a day travel pass or an octopus card and use the metro and trams.

Yes, the taxi drops you about 5 meters from the tram. You can't miss it. Have a great time!

12/29 @ 5:45pm. Didn’t leave till 10pm. Long queues...

We arrived at 8.45am on a Tuesday and walked straight to the booking office then straight on to a tram We did go and look at the tram on the Sunday and saw the line of people waiting to buy tickets and got told it would be at least an hour . I recommend you go during the week and early if possible

I preferred the morning, as you can spend a few hours enjoying the experience and the remainder of the day and evening is yours to explore other parts of Hong Kong
