Why Victoria Peak (The Peak) is special ?
What to explore at Victoria Peak (The Peak)?
Primarily, Victoria Peak offers the best city view in the world. Hong Kong's stunning cityscape is no better seen than at the top of the Peak. This can be viewed via the Peak walk, which takes you on a circle of the mountain top taking in views of both the city and the South China Sea.
The cityscape view remains one of the greatest man made views on Earth.The Peak is also relatively underdeveloped, and apart from two shopping and entertainment complexes, it remains surrounded by greenery.
The two complexes, the Peak Tower and Peak Galleria, feature a host of restaurants and coffee bars. The Peak Tower, which has just undergone a multi million dollar redevelopment, also contains a viewing platform at its top and Madam Tussauds Hong Kong at its bottom.
The Peak Tram will deliver you right into the belly of the Peak Tower.A View From the Peak - A View From the Peak

Tips for you
Reviews
Place is crowdy, come earlier in the morning. The view is nice and probably worth $40HK
One of the best views of the glittering Hong Kong skyline you have from Victoria Peak with an altitude of 552 meters. A funicular will take you up to the look-out point.
Best view of Hong Kong! Also, how cool is it to be in the rainforest just outside of the city.
Lovely views...a great snapshot of the city below..come to the peak to get a breath of fresh air
We always walk up and have walked around the peak itself and further along to the park. Allow plenty of time if you decide to take the tram as there are often big crowds..less so if you only go down.The views are fabulous on a clear day..and even a not so clear day it is worth the trip to see over Hong Kong
By all means visit the peak when in Hong Kong. We took the bus to the top- it takes a little while but the ride is beautiful. On the way down we took the tram. This was a beautiful ride as well, but going down you sit backwards! We did not see it at night but can imagine it is beautiful with the lights of the city. There is usually a long line for the tram in the evenings.
