Victoria Peak Tourism

Victoria Peak, commonly known as The Peak, is a mountain on the western half of Hong Kong Island. With an elevation of 552 meters, it is the highest hill on the island, offering panoramic views of Central, Victoria Harbour, Lamma Island, and the surrounding islands. The Peak is a major tourist attraction of Hong Kong, featuring the Sky Terrace 428, the highest 360-degree viewing platform in the city, as well as Madame Tussauds wax museum. Visitors can ascend to The Peak via the Peak Tram, one of the world's oldest and most famous funicular railways, or by bus and taxi. The Peak Tower, with its distinctive anvil shape, houses several floors of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The surrounding areas of Victoria Peak are also home to exclusive residential properties and nature walks, providing visitors with both urban charm and tranquil greenery. The Peak's rich history as a symbol of exclusivity began in the colonial era when it was a sanctuary for the city's elite due to the cooler climate at higher altitudes.
