    Vantage Point
    Sky Terrace! I wasn’t able to use the tram to and fro as I was tight on time and there was a scheduled departure time. I took an Uber from Harbour Grand Hotel and reached Sky Terrace in 20mins. 360 viewpoint of Hongkong. Vantage points are always a good way to see a place.

    The Peak; a must see and actually the first thing to do in HK
    Only at the Peak you can get a slight feeling on how “massive and impressive “ Hong Kong actually is . We took the Peak tram and almost vertically we went up and riding through the old neighbourhoods built on the streep hills of Hong Kong and when reachings the top at the Peak you know that you want to experience Hong Kong. Do the Peak first and let toen the city conquer your hart!!

    Many visitors
    There is lots here to see and do. The directional signs are pretty cryptic. The lines for the bathrooms were a bit long. Just a tad too busy, although it was Chinese New Year. If you want a day out with your dog, that seems to be a thing here. I saw a dog in a pram, wearing a dress. Dresses look weird on dogs. The dog did look happy though and it’s not for me to say what she should wear.

    Looking down on Hong 🇭🇰 Kong
    First and formast is the view from Victoria Peak which is phenomenal. Access to the Peak is easy with Tramline, taxi or walk. Only issue is the demand that is there for people wishing to get the top. It is well worth the wait provided it is fine cloud free day.

    Victoria Peak Sight seeing
    Amazing sight seeing. Full view of Hong Kong Island and New Territories. I suggest buying tickets online to avoid long lineups. Must buy ticket for Skydeck for full experience and view. Also take Peak Tram. Don’t take bus.

    Best for Sea and City View altogether
    you can enjoy best Sea and City View altogether. I took slope train to reach peak which is unique experience and one must use that atleast once. while return we used bus option which is also good and give you good thrill. amazing city view you will get from Peak. We visited this place twice since in our 1st visit there was complete fog and no view available. 2nd time we got all amazing views from peak. you can spend 2-3 hrs at this location easily.

    Deserves being the top attraction in Hong Kong
    I visited Victoria Peak on my first day in Hong Kong with a local friend. She often runs up the Morning trail to the Peak but we took the Peak tram up to the summit which starts amongst the tall buildings and rises to the forested areas quite quickly. My friend had been there on busy weekends but on a Wednesday afternoon the Peak was much quieter and we had no trouble picking up tickets and the tram and restaurants were not crowded. We had snacks at the Peak Galleria and admired the various dog-focused shops before walking the Peak Circular Walk, a fairly flat three and a half km track, using Harlech and Lugard Rds, that encircles the Peak and gives amazing views across Hong Kong from the islands to the north-east and, especially, over Victoria Harbour. While I liked the tram and the Sky Terrace as well as the Galleria and Tower this was my favourite part. I felt I got the best views of Victoria Harbour from the Lugard Rd Victoria Harbour viewing platform. We bought the Skypass ticket option as part of the Peak tram ride which gave access to Sky Terrace 428. I liked it. Bundled with the Peak tram it didn't appear to me to be expensive. The views there were better than those inside the Tower as the windows aren't good for taking photos though I have heard there is a free viewing platform available at the Galleria and, of course, there are the views from the Peak Circular Walk. It is quite a large area with uninterrupted views all around. We saw a little bit of the sunset but it had gotten misty and quite cold and windy while we were there so we headed down to eat dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. before heading back on the tram. It was a great way to start my trip and, while touristy it deserves to be the top attraction in Hong Kong.

    Where Hong Kong's elite resides
    The Peak is where Hong Kong's elite reside. The Peak is home to Hong Kong's movers and shakers. If you are not quite in the multi-millionaire class, many people aim for the Peak's lower levels, such as Mid Levels. By the way, the Peak Tram will take you to the top and back again, it's a great way to spend a morning. The Peak Tram is great fun. By the way, the official name of the Peak is "Victoria Peak."

    Peak walk and Peak Tram
    I’d suggest taking a walk on the peak (3km and mostly shaded) in the late afternoon and continue seeing the sunset/night view of the city in the evening. The peak is several degrees cooler than the city, so bringing an extra piece of clothing if you can get cold easily. While there is a long queue for peak tram, it’s highly recommended to take the tram as it’s so unique. If you take the tram uphill, it’d be a good idea to sit on the right side as you can have the best view there.

We bought the tickets but did not get a chance to take the tram to the Peak. Bad management of queue system. Even the police came.

We loved this part of our trip although we were blessed with a beautiful day and we got there by 9.30 am so the tram wasn't busy and as the Sky Terrace opens at 10am we were one of the first people out there. Fabulous views, although I wouldn't recommend it on a stormy day - you might not see anything other than cloud!

The views were great, I didn’t realize there would be a massive mall at the top but it being Hong Kong I should have realized that.

The journey to the peak is good and the views from the top are excellent giving a panorama over Hong Kong and Kowloon. You can get refreshments and drinks and the prices aren't too bad. However it is a busy venue and you may end up waiting to find a spot to get a good picture. The top is also very developed, perhaps too much so, with a lot of concessions and amusements which do detract from the experience to some degree.

If you only have limited time in Hong Kong, then this attraction is a must- do BUT only if weather permitting. Check forecast for weather AND air quality since smog can be quite heavy at times. Otherwise great views of Kowloon and harbor. Fun tram ride up or down BUT sitting is very crammed especially for people who are tall. There are lots of shops and restaurants at the top. TIP- ideally go early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

The view was okay, not as high as I expected. There are many things to do in the building itself though, unfortunately we had no time to explore. There's a Tussauds, claw machine, restaurants and photobooth.

No staff to organize the people entering the tram. When i am queueing up with my boys, 2 or 3 big groups of tourists are behind us. once the door is open. They try to push their way in and my boy face hit the door and he cry loudly. I think no need to buy the don know what view tickets. There is one photographer there to help you take pictures and i find him lousy . Just want to get his job done. When i went to the booth to the find a good pic to print out, I find out my hair are messy or looks funny and the photographer just take for the sake of taking photograph. At the end have to choose 1 to print.

Amazing view at the peak. The tram experience was also wonderful. There are many choices for getting coffee and dining at the peak where you can also cool off from the heat. Best come early in the morning or later in the late afternoon for the sunset.

It was bad weather but asked if we would still be able to see the view, told yes, liars! It was zero visibility and nothing open, except a man charging to take your photo and superimpose it onto a picture of the city. Yet another scam from this city.

Stunning views. The tram alone is a fun experience but once you get to the top the views are unparalleled. No need to pay the extra for the Sky Terrace 428 (unless you want to). The views at Lions Pavillion and Peak Galleria (go all the way to the top!) are gorgeous and free. I went early in the morning to beat the crowds but there are so many food establishments and shops that this might be a better place to grab dinner and watch the sunset.
