The Peak used to be the epitome of upper-class prestige. You travelled here by the cable tram to have afternoon high-tea and take in the views. Now, thanks to progress, there is a shopping mall with restaurants, tacky tourist memorabilia and a distinct lack of atmosphere.

This is an accident waiting to happen, if it hasn't already. I have been to the Peak several times and this is by far the worst experience. Took a cab to the Lower Peak Tram Station and arrived at about 5.30 pm. There was already a queue. albeit manageable. So we thought - hey, maybe we could proceed. So we... More

Very steep tram ride to the top (felt I was going sideways). Once there, the view is incredible. Go late afternoon and stay until it starts getting dark. Walk through the different levels on the top and peak at some of the venues (which you could partially see outside). Have a bite at one of the many restaurants/cafes in the... More

For iconic views of Hong Kong this is the spot. Ride to the summit on the Peak Tram. Apart from the views the only thing else to do is shop (expensive) and eat. Make sure you can see the Peak from ground level before you travel up or you run the risk of seeing nothing from the top!

We found that the prices were great at the gift shop! It was even better than Stanley Market and you didn't have to haggle! Views were great even though it was overcast!
