Victoria Peak |
Once you arrive on Victoria Peak you will notice two major constructions: The Peak Tower and The Peak Galleria. The Peak Tower is where you arrive if you have chosen to travel via the Peak Tram. The Peak Galleria is the building where you arrive if you have chosen to travel via bus (Hong Kong public bus or the green minibuses). Both buildings house a number of different restaurants and shopping facilities.
Enjoy the view - but where do you have the best view?
If you traveled up to The Peak to experience the legendary postcard view over Hong Kong the last thing you want is obstructed or limited visibility. Fortunately, there are a number of different places where you can enjoy a breathtaking and unobstructed view over Hong Kong. Here I have prepared a list for you with the best places to enjoy the view from The Peak to ensure your visit is successful and memorable. Let's start with the outside.
Outside
There is a small footpath that leads all the way around the mountain. Luckily, you don't have to walk all the way around the mountain. Right at the beginning of the footpath next to The Peak Tower you will find a pavilion which offers a completely free view (unobstructed and free of charge) over the city and Victoria Harbor. You can even find a metal sign which helps you identify all the major buildings you can see.
