After the cable car ride up to Victoria peak you can walk around the top and just take in the most breathtaking views of Hong Kong and surrounds. We were there on a clear day and the photos we took are beautiful. On your walk around there are different people selling their wares. If you like paintings there is a... More

Went up there by taxi because the line for tram was over 2 hours. Once got there was a bit disappointing, there is not much going on besides a small mall and a few restaurants. Would suggest going in the evening to catch the sunset and dusk. But beware of crowds! It was insane! I thought all these paparazzi saw... More

Hong Kong is cloudy often - make sure it is nice when you head up or it may be a waste of time. The views are outstanding... Other than that...it is a lot of touristy kind of stores selling anything and everything they can slap a logo on. Some restaurants there...as well.

If you dont mind the wait in line, and being cramped then you should do it. It is actually quite steep in one part and would be enjoyed by kids etc. If your from NZ dont buy the coffee at the cafe at the top. The walk along is nice and the view is fantastic, though there are many other... More

Great views from this place - the food was equally good, and service attentive if you remembered to spin your sign around

As long as you can time your visit to the peak to avoid any low cloud the views are fantastic with loads of reat photo opportunities. One of Hong Kong's top ten attractions and not hard to see why

The best place to take your great picture of Hong Kong and have a nice lunch at the restaurant. The drive to get there is breathtaking...

Tram ride ,views etc all wonderful .The surprise is the shopping mall where you can also spend an hour or two and still enjoy the views and finish it off with a meal with a view .The walk around the peak is also well worth doing .

The tram ride is exciting enough but the views are magnificent. LOts of things to do and see up there (as well as to eat) but you just want to breathe in the views over the Harbour. You can't do HK and not to the Peak.
