Took a nice long walk and got a wonderful view of HKG :) Put on your most comfortable shoes, take a walk and enjoy the view. And the air is fresh-er :D more

We figured that it would be quite romantic to have a picnic at Hong Kong’s highest point. So we went shopping at a local supermarket and headed to the peak! Took the tram ride and trust me, you have try it at least one-way either up or down. Its really not that bad! Just that you need to queue up... more

Always a stunning view of Hong Kong, just be aware that depending on how clear a day it is, the view may be more spectacular on clearer days. Every trip to Hong Kong should include going to The Peak. more

Victoria Peak rises above the city of Hong Kong, and offers tremendous views of the city. It is probably most beautiful at night, when the lights of the city are on display. I am curious how the symphony of lights show would look from up here. The line for the tram is giant. There is nothing really exciting about being... more

One of the best way to see the HK skyline is from Victoria's Peak. The world's steepest tram, although abit pricey is well worth it (i think it was HK$40 one way). Our kids had a blast trying to stand up straight while it was ascending or descending. Best time to go is ~ 4pm and stay until it is... more

If you are visiting Hong Kong for the first time, then this is a "must see" attraction! But you have to go when you think the weather will be good, otherwise the view will be possibly non-existant. The day we went was good and the view across to Kowloon & Mong Kok was OK, but fairly hazy over 5miles/8kms. Up... more

Sorry couldn't resist the pun. Paid a trip to the Peak during a very hot and humid day, so it was a good day for the Peak. If you visit, make sure it is a clear day or it won't be worth the trip (for visual) but the Tram is worth the trip. We used the Tram do go back... more

This is a great way to see the city if you're short on time, but I found it rather anti-climactic as, before I did this, I took the spectacular bus journey to Stanley Markets! more

Once the haze / fog started to lift a bit, we headed up to Victoria Peak on the tram – trams have been in use there since 1888. Once we got to the general area, signs to the Tram Terminal were easy to find and follow. The tram goes up an incline so steep, the buildings look like they are... more

I love hong kong for its lights and views. To get the best of these, you either come to the peak or go to the arena of stars, both offer amazing views of the skyscrapers, especially in the evening. more
