Take a Peak

I see that Meister has added a few photos so here are a few more and a couple of videos, taken at The Peak. A trip to The Peak is an absolute must for the fantasic views of Hong Kong Island and across the harbour to Kowloon. There are buses that go to the peak, taxis are cheap and I suppose if you had some sort of deathwish you could try walking it. But the best way is to take the Peak Tram which climbs its way perilously up an implausibly steep incline to the top.

It's pretty commercialised at the top with a shopping mall, restaurants and the obligatory souvenir stalls.There are also some marked trails for walks around the peak, although according to Lons you shouldn't take any notice of the one that says it's only a 30 minute walk. There are plenty of observation points to take in the views but they do charge a few dollars to get to the very highest ones. It's well worth it though and you can pay by Octopus card.
