Discover Hong Kong Island - The Peak

Have you noticed the big building that looks like a cross between a work and a spaceship? That's the Peak Tower! Inside there are lots of restaurants and shops and on top there's Sky Terrace 428 from where you can see the most amazing views of Hong Kong and its beautiful harbour.
If you are feeling full beans you can take a walk around the mountain of The Peak Circle Walk. It starts at Lugard Road an takes about 40 minutes (or an hour for slow pokes). Make sure your camera is ready for action because there are amazing views of the city long the way. The Lugard Road Lookout is a great spot for a family snap. Other good viewing points include the viewing terrace of The Peak Galleria and Lions View Point Pavillion

 The Peak is the highest point on Hong Kong Island and a must-see place for all visitor to the city. Taking the historic Peak Tram to The Peak is enough fun itself. The route is very steep and you'll be looking at the nearby buildings from a weird angle. After that exhilarating ride you arrive at the top, and there's even more fun ahead. You'll see an old tram car (it's more than 50 years old). The Hong Kong Tourism Board Visitor Centre is inside. You could go in to ask for directions or other information about what to see and do. Or you could get bite-to-bite at The Peak Lookout Restaurant, which used to be a worksite when the tramline was being built.
