About
Hong Kong Island's central peak (552m). The Peak Tram funicular and the Sky Terrace 428 give the canonical Hong Kong skyline view.
Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island at 552m, is the city's most-visited tourist sight. The Peak Tram funicular (running since 1888) climbs from Garden Road in Central up to the Peak Tower. The Sky Terrace 428 viewing deck on the Peak Tower has the most-photographed city view in Asia: harbour to the north, Lamma to the south. Weekday weather is variable; the haze can swallow the view between June and September.
How to get there
Peak Tram from Central. Or bus 15 from Central / minibus 1 from Central Pier 5.
When to visit
Clear winter day. Sunset to night for the lights.
