Victoria Peak
You haven't seen the best of Hong Kong until you've taken in the skyline from Victoria Peak, more commonly known as The Peak. Standing at 552m, Victoria Peak is the highest point on Hong Kong Island. If the tourists traveling to Hong Kong only have one place to visit and take one picture, that would be the photo taken from the Victoria Peak - sweeping views of the metropolis, verdant woods, easy but spectacular walks – all reachable in just eight minutes from Central by Hong Kong’s 125-year-old.
