Posted on | November 30, 2008 | 1 Comment

The Peak has one of the most spectacular views in Hong Kong, it is known as Victoria’s Peak. It is also the highest point on the Hong Kong Island. It is very popular among the rich and famous whom have their luxurious homes built on the Peak, while others enjoy its view and entertainment spots.

The Peak is accessible most commonly by the Peak Tram for visitors and tourists, while only the residents of the Peak are allowed to drive their cars into the private roads.  The lower terminus is only a 10 minutes walk from the J2 exit of the Central MTR station, while you can also take Bus 15C from the Star Ferry Pier.  Tram tickets can be purchased in cash or with the Octopus Card, and there is also a special package ticket that you can purchase which entitles you access to the Sky Terrace. From the Sky Terrace, you can see the whole Hong Kong Island in 360 degrees and you can even see some of the smaller islands around Hong Kong!

There are many shopping outlets and dining spots inside the Peak Galleria. It is definitely a great experience shopping and dining at Victoria Peak with great views onto the city and the harbor.

You can also visit Madame Trussauds’ wax museum that houses many famous Hong Kong artistes as well as Hollywood stars.
