Overview
Victoria Peak is the highest point on Hong Kong Island and offers the most famous view in Asia — the clustered towers of Central and Wan Chai rising from the harbour, with Kowloon's dense urban grid beyond. The Peak Tram, a funicular railway operating since 1888, climbs the steep hillside from Central to the Peak in 7 minutes. The viewing platform at the Peak Tower offers 360-degree panoramas.
