About

The Peak (Victoria Peak) is Hong Kong's most popular tourist attraction, offering amazing views of the Hong Kong skyline. The peak tram will take you to the top of the mountain on the backdrops of Hong Kong for about $22 HK one-way. Try to go on a clear day for the best views.

There are also some shops and restaurants at the top. The tram deposits you into a shopping center, which is a bit of a maze to get out of. Taking the escalator to the top of the shopping center will lead to an observation deck that costs a bit of money, but if you look around on the ground floor there is an exit where you can get great views of Hong Kong without paying extra.
