Victoria Peak & Harbour
Ride the historic Peak Tram for Hong Kong’s most famous skyline view over Victoria Harbour.
About Victoria Peak & Harbour
No list of things to do in Hong Kong starts anywhere but the top. Victoria Peak rises 552 m over the city, and the near-vertical Peak Tram has been hauling visitors up since 1888. From the Sky Terrace 428 lookout the entire skyline, harbour and Kowloon spread out below — by far the city’s defining view.
