The Peak View

 

What better way to see Hong Kong by going to the Peak and getting a 360-degree view! The Peak is the best place in Hong Kong to see the sunset.


Victoria Peak or "The Peak" is one of HK's most popular tourist "Must Do" - it gives you a spectacular bird's eye view of the city skyline, the Victoria Harbour and Kowloon. To get to the Peak is a pretty exciting journey.

At the top of the Peak tower, you can have different levels of tower offer spectacular views of the Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour. Inside the Peak Tower, you will find some shops. restaurant, and Madame Tussauds - London's famous wax museum.

 Upon arrival at the Peak, away from the hussle and bustle of the city, you will feel the difference - the refreshing crisp air and the light breeze !

 

 

Peak TramThe best way to reach The Peak is to take a ride on the Peak Tram. The tram run from Mon to Sun, between 7:00 am and 12:00 midnight (every 15 mins).

If you take the MTR to Central, its about a 10 minute walk to the Tram that goes up to the Peak. It will cost you $33 for a return trip up. It’s a steep tram trip on the way up, and you have some great views of the skyscrapers, at about a 50 degree angle or so.

To get the best views, try to get seats in front on the right hand side for the journey upwards to Peak Tower.
