Had a lot of fun at the peak. There were lots of things to do, and restaurants to eat. There were lots of people at the Peak and it was very busy. We also went to the observation deck. There is also Madam Tussauds Hong Kong at the Peak. The view of Hong Kong was good but not spectacular for... More

A lovely trip to the Peak was spoilt by hazy weather. On a clear day the view would be amazing! Good shopping and eating options here too.

We went up to the peak at about dusk, as our intention was to have dinner up there and enjoy the night view. Heading up at about 5pm was perfect. Even though it was a muggy and overcast day, the views were still spectacular. It was unfortunate that there was no visibility from any of the restaurants at the top,... More

Take the tram all the way up high and you'll reach Victoria Peak. Although this may consume some time for you to ride the tram, and it's not free, completely worths! You can see all HK from there.

After 5 years living in Hong Kong, still one of the best places to visit is the Peak using the old Tram. The views are incredible over the island then on to Kowloon and mainland. if you go in the evening after sunset the lights all start coming on and it transforms the horizon. This is a must if you...

Also be prepared for the long lines which can be quite hot on a muggy day......if you take the tram. The better way is to take a bus up, its quicker and more comfortable....but you should ride this engineering marvel at least once in your lifetime. The peak itsel is well worth the journey with its beautiful scenery and views... More

We took a drive to Victoria Peak from Harbor Parade. It was an expensive ride by the cab but we enjoyed every moment of it. We reached there by sunset... More

Make sure to go there an hour before sunset to be able to see the city both at day and night. It is recommended to get there by bus in order to save the cost of the tram and the long line of people waiting... Don't go there if the weather is cloudy, you won't be able to see anything.
