The Peak<\/p><\/div>\n

The Peak (Mid Levels, Hong Kong) — The highest point on Hong Kong Island, this has been the city\u2019s most exclusive neighborhood since colonial times \u2013 back then it was the cooler air that attracted the rich and famous; in the post air-conditioning era, the views of one of the world\u2019s most spectacular cityscapes keep them coming.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The anvil-shaped The Peak Tower has a large viewing platform called Sky Terrace 428, in addition to dining and retail outlets. Nearby, The Peak Galleria has a free-entry observation deck, as well as shopping and dining options. More eye gulps of the views can be had at Lugard Road Lookout, Lions View Point Pavilion. For leisurely unfolding vistas, take the 3.5-kilometre Peak Circle Walk.<\/p>\n

Getting there \u2013 The Peak Tram: Riding the Peak Tram is a visual experience unto itself — Hong Kong Island\u2019s skyscrapers slide past your window at what appear to be impossible angles as you make the ascent to The Peak on the city\u2019s historic, funicular railway.<\/p>\n

Located at Lower Terminus, The Peak Tram Historical Gallery is a way of paying tribute to The Peak Tram, its heritage and the history of Hong Kong. Since 1888, The Peak Tram has served Hong Kong, quietly witnessing 120 years of the city’s changes. The Gallery brings back many memories for local visitors and gives overseas visitors a glimpse of how the Pearl of the Orient has come to shine.<\/p>\n
