Victoria Harbour and the Peak on Hong Kong Island

We can see the most beautiful view of Hong Kong on the highest peak on Hong Kong Island, the Victoria Peak. From the top of The Peak, you can get a feeling of the concrete jungle of Hong Kong with green hills and the busy Victoria Harbour surrounding the city. We can say that Hong Kong is a mix of nature and city lights. The Victoria Harbour and the Peak can be enjoyed bright in the day or sparkling late in the evening.

Lamma Island has a free-spirited, multicultural vibe and is home to hipsters and creative types. Indie boutiques, craft stores and mellow cafes line Yung Shue Wan Main Street. The island’s hiking trails take in the WWII-era Kamikaze Caves and have sweeping coastal views. Locals and day-trippers unwind on Hung Shing Yeh Beach, or head to Sok Kwu Wan fishing village and its casual seafood eateries.

Lion Rock is noted for its shape.Its resemblance to a crouching lion is most striking from the Choi Hung and San Po Kong areas in East Kowloon. A trail winds its way up the forested hillside to the top, culminating atop the "lion's head". The trail can be followed across the profile of the lion, eventually linking up with the MacLehose Trail. The rock provides a view of the city and Hong Kong Island in the distance. The entire mountain is located within Lion Rock Country Park,south of Hung Mui Kuk, Tai Wai and is made passable by vehicles by Lion Rock Tunnel, which connects Kowloon Tong and Tai Wai.

Victoria Harbour is known for its panoramic night view and skyline, particularly in the direction towards Hong Kong Island where the skyline of skyscrapers is superimposed over the ridges behind. In Victoria Harbor, we can see the skyline of Victoria Harbor every day, which is always breathtaking. As night falls, the stage gives way to a sea of colorful lights, and when "A Symphony of Lights" is staged at 8:00 every night

Whether you are watching the world's largest permanent light and music show among the lively crowds on the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade or leisurely in the rooftop restaurant, it is a show that tourists cannot miss.

Sky 100 is located on the 100th floor of the ICC (International Commerce Centre). It opened in April 17th, 2011 and is a popular tourist attraction in Hong Kong, even after all these years. Here in Sky 100, you can stand in the observation deck, located 393 metres above sea level, to get a spectacular view of the busting city and take great snapshots to post on your favorite social media sites for millions of people to see. Although it is kind of an expensive experience, with adult tickets costing 108 HKD and child/senior tickets priced at 75 HKD, it is certainly worth it for an amazing view. Remember to go there when you have time!

The Peak is a famous attraction among the tourism in Hong Kong, it is mainly due to its spectacular views of the city and the Victoria Harbour. Even till today, the Peak attracts around seven million visitors a year, making it one of Hong Kong's top tourist destinations.

But what can you do in the Peak? The answer is, you can view the entire city! First you’ll have to ride a mountain train in order to get to the Peak Tower. The tram provides views of the city's amazing skyline and the view of Victoria Harbour! And the peak is right now the highest viewing platform in Hong Kong with a 360 degree view! A beautiful place to take pictures isn’t it?

Afterwards, you’ll arrive at the Peak Tower.Inside the Peak Tower, there is a dazzling array of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues set against the beautiful backdrop of the city! Most importantly, a viewing platform at the roof of the building! You can feel the wind passing by your ears!

But if you think the view in the Peak is what makes it interesting, you’re wrong! Another thing that made the Peak so attractive is because of the history. Did you know the mountain train that you just rode can be over 100 years old? Yes! It started serving in 1888, cool right? Remember to take some selfies with the old historic trams! And outside the Peak Tower, you can also see old trams sitting there!
