At the Summit:
The area commonly referred to as "The Peak" encompasses the summit of Victoria Peak and its surrounding facilities. Here's what you'll find:

⛰️Panoramic Views: The main draw is the breathtaking 360-degree views of Hong Kong Island, Victoria Harbour, Kowloon Peninsula, and the surrounding islands. Visiting during the day offers clear views of the cityscape and harbor, while nighttime provides a dazzling spectacle of city lights. Sunset is often considered a particularly beautiful time to visit.

📍Sky Terrace 428: Located at the Peak Tower, this is the highest viewing platform in Hong Kong.

📍Peak Galleria: Situated opposite the Peak Tower, this mall also offers dining and shopping options, as well as a free observation deck on its roof terrace with equally impressive views.

📍Lion's Pavilion: A charming traditional Chinese-style pavilion offering fantastic panoramic views and photo opportunities, often less crowded than the main viewing decks.

📍Victoria Peak Garden: Located a bit further from the main tourist hubs, this tranquil Victorian-style garden offers peaceful strolls and additional viewpoints. It's the site of the former Governor's summer residence.

-Hiking Trails: Several well-maintained walking trails start from or pass through the Peak, such as the Peak Circle Walk and the Morning Trail, allowing you to explore the lush greenery and enjoy different perspectives.
