The Peak Review

I was a bit skeptical about taking the Peak Tram, however, I really enjoyed the ride. The scenery going up the hill is fascinating, and going on a Tuesday afternoon in June I did not find any queue or crowd. It was a sunny and clear day and the view from both the tram and the Sky Terrace was amazing. The fact that there are two shopping areas with restaurants makes the experience even more convenient, also to have a break from the outside heat. I think it is a must see for first timers in HK like me.

A place that must be punched in for a trip to Hong Kong. This time I visited with my parents again. The mountaintop cable car is very special. My son likes to take it so he bought a round-trip trip. If you just want to feel a one-way trip, Madame Tussauds is also a place that only needs to go once. Although the content will be updated regularly, it is just like that. 428 Lingxuan Pavilion is still very suitable for taking pictures, and it is basically the kind that is enough to go once.

The Peak is the highest peak on Hong Kong Island, 552 meters above sea level, and is also one of Hong Kong's iconic attractions. Here is some information about the Peak: • Geographical location: The Peak is located in the northwest of Hong Kong Island and is the highest point on Hong Kong Island. • Historical background: The Peak has become a landmark for cargo ships entering the port in the early 19th century. Due to the hot and humid climate in Hong Kong, the Peak has become a summer resort for many dignitaries. Around 1868, the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir John Macdonald, specially selected the location to build a summer villa on the Peak to enjoy the cool and pleasant living environment. Gradually, moving to the Peak became a trend advocated by the rich and famous and celebrities. • Transportation: Visitors can take the Peak Tram to the Peak, which is the earliest cable car system in Asia and was put into service in 1888. In addition to the cable car, you can also take bus No. 15 or X15 from the Central Exchange Square (MTR Central Station Exit A/MTR Hong Kong Station Exit B1) to the Peak Plaza Terminal. • Opening hours: The Peak is open all year round, but some facilities such as the Peak Tram and the Peak Tower have specific opening hours. • Scenic spots: The Peak offers views of the skyscrapers, the world-renowned Victoria Harbour, and the fresh and pleasant green mountains. The scenic area includes the Lion Pavilion, the observation deck of the Peak Square, the Sky Terrace of the Peak Tower, etc. • Suggested time for play: The recommended time for play is 3-5 hours. • Ticket price: The Peak itself is free to open, but some facilities such as the two-way cable car + the Sky Terrace of the Peak Tower cost HK$65 and the one-way ticket costs HK$52. With its unique geographical location and historical background, The Peak has become one of the must-see attractions in Hong Kong for tourists, providing an excellent view of the panoramic view of Hong Kong.

Although I have never settled in Hong Kong, I have been there hundreds of times. It is the city I am most familiar with besides Shenzhen. I used to regard it as a place to relax on weekends and a shopping mecca for a change of place, and I have witnessed the changes over the past decade. Victoria Peak is a good place to get a bird's eye view of Hong Kong, where you can see the bustling world from a high place.

The Peak No one comes to Hong Kong without visiting Victoria Peak, but the few times I went there before I took the cable car up and down. This time I followed a few friends to do a night hike from Central. Hike the mountains and walk on the moon in search of immortals, swim in the sea and chase the waves and play with dragons. The approximate route is Central Garden Road and Mid-Levels Escalator - Old Peak Road - Victoria Peak - down to Central. I have to say that Hong Kong is really suitable for hiking. This route is not difficult and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The happiness of climbing up by yourself and looking at the night view is something you can never experience by taking the cable car. Then I saw a wild boar 🐗 crossing the road.

There are two ways of transportation 1. Take the 15 or X15 bus from the Star Ferry Pier, 30-40 minutes to the Peak, 14.9 Hong Kong dollars, which is quite convenient, and there is basically no queue. You can use WeChat and Alipay for 9. 2. Take the cable car near Central🚠You need to queue for 15 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. There are two viewing platforms on the top of the mountain, one is the Peak Tower, which is charged, and the other is the top of the shopping mall. If you go there for the first time, it is recommended to go to the Peak Tower. The view is better, the ticket is 75, and Ctrip is more than 60. If you go there for the second time, you can go to the free viewing platform, but it is better to go when the weather is clear. If there is heavy fog and you can't see clearly, you can go to the free viewing platform, and you won't waste your money. The consumption on the top of the mountain is still relatively high. It's up to you to save money. The location where I took the photo is free, and the opposite side is charged.

Hong Kong🇭🇰【The Peak】 Victoria Peak is the highest mountain on Hong Kong Island, with an altitude of 552 meters. It is commanding and has a wide view. As early as the early 19th century, Victoria Peak became a summer resort for dignitaries. Around 1868, the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir McDonald, specially selected this place to build a summer villa in order to enjoy the cool and pleasant living environment on the Peak. Gradually, moving to Taipingshan became a trend favored by the rich, prominent and famous gentry. At that time, when the ladies of the official residence wanted to go to and from the top of the mountain, they would use rickshaws carried by bearers in neat uniforms as transportation. In 1904, living in Taipingshan was officially listed as the exclusive right of the upper class and foreign envoys, which further shows the extraordinary status of the top of the mountain. This system was in use until 1947 when it was abandoned. Transportation: Take the MTR Tsuen Wan Line or Island Line to Central Station, exit from Exit J1, walk for about 10 minutes to the cable car station at Garden Road, and take the cable car up to Victoria Peak. There are four ways to go up the mountain: cable car, bus, taxi, and walking.
