Cute the Q

Favorite thing: It might happen that the Q for the Victoria Peak is really long. Depending on your plans and on your budget, pass the line on the left and proceed to the counter of Madame Tussaud. I noticed a board telling about a package. Which means you buy a ticket for Madame Tussaud and the Victoria Peak and you pass all the other people. Worth to consider, as the line can be quite long. And trust me, when the sun is shining you don't want to be in line for hours.

Stroll Around the "Peak"

Favorite thing: The view from Victoria Peak is something that I think everybody should see. The most popular form of transport to get to the top is the Peak Tram. However, I suggest that you should get a taxi to the top and then take the tram down. This way you miss the long wait for the tram at the bottom.

When you get to the top you should take the 2.8km walk around the Peak. On a clear day you an get some great views.

The top of Victoria Peak

Favorite thing: This photo was taken on the top of Victoria Peak... A small 'temple' and the Peak Tower in the back ground... The Peak Tower is filled with things to see and do...along with restaurants, cafes and shops too...

Victoria Peak view

Favorite thing: This is the view from the top of Victoria Peak...looking down on Hong Kong Island (bottom part of the photo) and Kowloon (top part of the photo).

Victoria Peak is the highest mountain on Hong Kong Island and is a very popular tourist place. It is a must see at some stage while you're in Hong Kong...both during the day and at night.

High above Hong Kong Island...

Favorite thing: High above Hong Kong Island on the 'back of the Dragon', Victoria Peak is the City of Life's premier visitor attraction, providing magnificent harbour and city views.

Arriving late afternoon enables you to experience the dazzling panorama of Hong Kong Island, the harbour, Kowloon and the hills beyond. Later, you can thrill to the neon-dotted skyline by night. What's more, The Peak offers visitors a multitude of fantastic entertainment, dining and shopping options.

If it foggy or low cloud, delay going to the Peak

Hong Kong in Stormy Weather

Favorite thing: The Views from the Top of the Peak are stunning, but if when you look up from around the Star Ferry area, and you can't see the top of the mountains, then delay your visit to the Peak. The is little to see when it is cloudy, and it is rather frustrating.

On a plus side, when it is cloudy, you can get some pretty good night time pictures from the Kowloon side of the illuminated Hong Kong buildings. The clouds seem to reflect the light and make everything seem brighter!

night scene of hong kong

Central

Favorite thing: night scene. dun have to go to the Peak, but some commercial buildings may have a floor to see the view for free. but you have to ask the staff if they have it now because the 911 issue made some buildings close the visitors floor.

Fondest memory: the first time i went to the Peak was at my childhood. i like that place not only because it's the peak of Hong Kong island, but the view is nice and air is fresh. when night comes, view changes into another mood... so beautiful and romantic...

Favorite thing: From Central, head for VICTORIA PEAK by crossing the road from Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, turn left 50 yards & then turn right 200 yards until you see the fountain. Here, you'll find the entrance to the Peak Tram.

The Peak Tram will whisk you up the 386 m (1267 ft) ascent to the top where you'll get a fantastic view of Hong Kong's incredible harbor & skyline!

Fondest memory: Along the journey you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the beautiful harbor & all the buildings surrounding it. A very pretty & unique sight!

Sunset at the Peak

Another Sunset

Favorite thing: Shopping. But sightseeing is a close second! Go to Victoria Peak near sunset, taking the Peak Tram. Then, look for the McDonald's there and head for the viewdeck at the back of the store. The sunset from there is gorgeous.

Fondest memory: The food, the shops, the Orientalia (of course, this is China!), and the people - even if some are annoyingly grumpy.
