If it is your first time in Hong Kong, and intend to go up the peak! Yes, you have made the right choice as this is the best place to see the overview of your holiday! I suggest that you go up the peak using the Tram which was built in 1888. Try to get a seat on the right... More

A good spot to see the whole of hong kong. Should go in the evening time to get both day and night view. Some shopping and dining places were nice there too. More

Get a taxi up and the funicular back and you'll beat the queues and make sure you walk the whole peak - brilliant views of the whole island More

It was the raining season in April and the Peak was full of clouds.. We are not able to see anything at all, so there are plenty of time to enjoy dining at the Peak. The Italian cuisine was delicious located at the shopping center next to the tram station, and dining in the clouds was a pleasantly unique experience. More

Went on a weekend so hughe line up for the tram. But almost vertical ride and view at the top is all worth while. There is a wax museum and nice restaurants so plan to stay for at least 3 hours. I just wish I picked a better hotel to make this enjoyable trip to HK complete. More

I think it has the best night view in the world. However choosing the right time to go is tricky. Normally HK is covered by fog/smoke, you really need to go on a clear day to get the best out from it. It will be too croweded on weekends so it is better to go on a week day at... More

Offers the best views of the magnificent city of Hong Kong. If there is one sight to see while in HK, this is it!!!! Take the tram and enjoy the experience. Bus 15C (to the left in front of the terminal) runs from the Star Ferry terminal to the tram. Alternatively, you may catch Bus 15 (to the right in... More

well, this is a must to do in hk. Taking the tram is a nice experience, bumpy and fine ride. When you get to the top, take a short 20 min walk along the mountain rail, the weather was nice and had a small breeze~you will still get a little sweat after walking for a while thou. Then head back... More
