Hong Kong Victoria Peak Maps & Info

Victoria Peak, a mountain in Hong Kong, also known as Mount Austin and locally as The Peak, is located in the western half of Hong Kong Island. With an altitude of 552m, it is the highest mountain on the island proper, but not in the entirety of Hong Kong, an honor which belongs to Tai Mo Shan. It is a major tourist attraction which offers spectacular views over central Hong Kong, Victoria Harbor, and the surrounding islands. Tourists always are led to the construction of two major leisure and shopping centers, the Peak Tower and the Peak Galleria, situated adjacent to each other.

The Peak Tower consists of the upper station of the Peak Tram, the funicular railway that brings passengers up from Hong Kong's Central district, whilst the Peak Galleria incorporates the bus station used by the Hong Kong public buses and green minibuses on the Peak. The Peak is also accessible by taxi and private car via the circuitous Peak Road, or by walking up the steep Old Peak Road from near the Zoological Botanical Gardens. - Click here to see the detailed map of the Peak Trail

Viewing Hong Kong at night is a must! The panoramic vista is one of the most beautiful night scenes in the world so a visit to the Lion Pavilion on the peak is a must. Standing upon the pavilion and overlooking the Victoria Harbor and the Kowloon Peninsula, a spectacular night view will unfold in front of your eyes. The Victoria Harbor is one of the world's busiest harbors and has a constant ebb and flow of shipping all year round. With row upon row of skyscrapers stand prominently on the Central District which is Hong Kong's financial and economic hub. The most spectacular are the Bank of China Tower and the Central Plaza. The Bank of China Tower, with 72 stories soars skyward and is designed by an American-born Chinese architect Bei Yuming (Ieoh Ming Pei); with the bamboo-shaped outlook of the tower symbolizing that the Bank of China aspires to get better and better. The Central Plaza is a reinforced concrete building with 78 stories.

Tourists can take the Peak Tram, a pleasant ride ascending the mountain, and the journey aboard the tram will take eight minutes and upon reaching the summit you will see a seven storied building in the shape of a ship – the Peak Tower.
