Victoria Peak, also known as The Peak, is Hong Kong's most visited attraction, standing 552 meters above sea level. The Peak Tram, operating since 1888, carries visitors up the steep hillside. From the top, panoramic views of Hong Kong's skyline, Victoria Harbour, and surrounding islands are spectacular. Sky Terrace 428 offers the highest viewing platform, while the area also has shops, restaurants, and walking trails.
