The Peak tram ride & panoramic views are on the shortlist of the list of 'things to do' for most Hong Kong tourists. Many people make a beeline for the Peak Tower and pay for the Sky Terrace to see the view (it’s often sold as a combo ticket with the Peak tram). However, an alternate free option is the Lions Pavilion, where you will get the same bird’s eye view over central Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour. The pavilion sits beside the Peak Tower, just below Pacific Coffee, and has a couple of viewing platforms.
It doesn't have have the 360 degree views that you get on the Sky Terrace and it can be crowded because it is a smaller space but at the end of the day, you can pay up to $52HKD for the Sky Terrace view or you can get the same stunning view over Central and city skyline at the Lion Pavilion for free.
A lovely feature of the pavilion (and the thing that I like best) is the circular entrance. Your first sight of famous view is framed by the round doorway.

The Lion's Pavilion is a multiple-level viewpoint you will find just one minute walk from Peak Tower. This is a free place to visit and also where you find some of the very best views of Victoria Harbour as well as the Hong Kong and Kowloon skylines.
This structure here is designed with simple Chinese architecture featuring a traditional moon gate entrance, a small traditional pavilion and a series of small terrace sections, seemingly cobbled together alongside Findlay Road. You'll also see a handful of small lion statues mounted around the terraces.
In the end, the Lion Pavilion is a neat place, conveniently located and easy to appreciate given that it is free for everyone to use to see outstanding views over Victoria Harbour.

Just three minutes walk from the Peak Tower. Exit at Pacific Coffee. Local Lions CLub erected this pavilion over a promontory affording an especially nice view of Hong Kong. It is all free. It can get a bit crowded afternoons and weekends. No smoking allowed in or on Pavilion grounds

The Lion's Pavilion is a two level structure just a couple minutes walk from the Peak Tower, where you will arrive if using the historic Peak Tram. This is a free access viewing platform with excellent views of Victoria Harbour and the city of Hong Kong below.
Just walk down small Finley Road, to your left, after exiting the Peak Tower. You'll soon see the traditional Chinese structure with a moon gate style entrance. As you enter, you'll find several rows of steps, which help distribute crowds across the viewing platform area.
There is a traditional covered pavilion area as well, which is ideal for rainy conditions. Along the sides of the Lion's Pavilion, there are steps leading to a lower level viewing platform. This level isn't highly utilised by tour groups so can be a nicer place to enjoy the views if the upper level is too crowded.
From Lion's Pavilion, you have unobstructed views of Victoria Harbour, the Hong Kong Skyline and the Kowloon Skyline. When viewing conditions are favourable, this is a wondeful spot to include in your sightseeing at The Peak. Views are still impressive here when air quality isn't great. Lastly, after dark, it doesn't matter what the air quality is like, views are just remarkable.
In the end, if you plan to visit Victoria Peak, this is a must-see spot. It is free, easily accessible from the arrival area at the Peak and offers world-class, post-card quality views of Hong Kong.

Not really a hidden secret, but as you exit The Peak Tower, after enjoying a ride on the Peak Tram, you can walk down Findlay road and enjoy a very good view of Victoria Harbor at no cost at the Lion's Pavilion. The pavilion is a short 3 or 4 minute walk, upon existing the Peak Tower. Compared to the Sky Terrace in the Peak Tower, which costs around HK$25 per adult, HK$13 per child - purchased as part of your Peak Tram ticket, the views are actually quite similar, at least looking in the direction of the harbor.
We always enjoy walking over to the Lion's Pavilion, actually preferring the view there, when we visit the Peak and recommend that visitors seek out this location as it is very near, only a few minutes walk down Findlay Rd. from the Peak Tram, Tower and Galleria area.

The views from here are great at the moment but there's construction work going on in front that may obstruct the view in months to come.this observation deck isn't very well sign posted either when you come out of the peak tower go to the left and its a minute or to walk from there. The 428 observation deck is a good alternative although it costs $48hkd.

It was 30-45 mins hiking from the peak tower where you can be reached by Peak Tram. Cars can go all the way up to the lion pavilion and we were walking the same way. Roads are neat and tidy. We saw some couples doing pre wedding photoshoot at the pavilion. The view from the pavilion was breathtaking as you were on the sky above the clouds.

What is the best way to get here if I start at Central Station via MTR?

When you exit Central MTR follow the signs towards Hong Kong MTR, I think we walked through a tunnel or over a pedestrian footbridge. You do not go all the way to Hong Kong MTR you need to exit towards "Exchange Square". It is to your left as you walk from Central MTR towards Hong Kong MTR. Exchange Square is an undercover Bus Terminus. You catch Bus 15 to The Peak. The bus drops you under the Galleria Shopping Centre right at The Peak. You need the exact change or use the Octopus Card - it is really simple to use.You load it with funds as you need.
hello. can you walk up here? or do you get off on the peak tram? thanks

You can walk, it'll takes about 90 minutes. Take the Mid-Level Escalators, it brings you, as its name suggests, to the mid level (passing SoHo, great). From the terminus you can walk :-)
