The Peak Tower, designed by a famous British architect, has a very unique bowl shape and is a must-visit spot in Hong Kong that combines sightseeing, entertainment, and shopping. ❤In addition to being a shopping center, The Peak offers clear views of Central Victoria Harbour and Kowloon across the bay. Even without being on the viewing platform, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Hong Kong Island, which is popular among both locals and tourists. Moreover, as many British people settled here in the early years, there are also many historical buildings. ✅Peak Tram: The Peak Tram is the oldest and most iconic living testimony in Hong Kong's hundred-year history. You can take the vintage red tram to The Peak, which is about 1350 meters long with 5 intermediate stations, and is the earliest cable car system in Asia. ✅Sky Terrace 428: The most prominent building at The Peak, the 360-degree Sky Terrace 428 at the top is an excellent spot for overlooking Victoria Harbour from a high vantage point, offering a 360-degree bird's-eye view of the scenery below. ❤The best time to visit The Peak is around dusk, so you can enjoy the cityscape during the day and wait for the beautiful night view as night falls. The light show in Victoria usually starts around 8 pm, and from The Peak, you can have a panoramic view of the night scene of Victoria Harbour. With some luck, you might even find a great spot. In addition to Sky Terrace 428, there are other attractions such as Madame Tussauds and The Peak Post Office, which require an additional fee for those interested in visiting. 🍽Dining: Don't worry about not having a place to dine after watching the night view. There are many delicacies in Sky Terrace 428, with merchants on the second and third floors, and The Peak Restaurant on the second floor of The Peak Galleria is one of the most characteristic open-air restaurants in Hong Kong. There is also Pacific Coffee, considered the best coffee in Hong Kong. 🛏Hotel: For accommodation, you can choose to stay near Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, or Causeway Bay. These commercial districts are bustling, with convenient shopping and transportation. PS: Prepare some cash in Hong Kong dollars in advance in case the hotel requires it. 📌Tips: Crossing the border: It is recommended to apply for the 'Hong Kong and Macau Pass' half a month before departure. Calling card: Purchase a Hong Kong and Macau phone card/Hong Kong phone card online in advance. Transport card: Purchase the 'Octopus' card in advance at the airport or online, which is common for both subway and bus. Recharge it in advance. Currency exchange: Exchange Hong Kong dollars in advance before departure. If not enough, you can also exchange at large shopping malls in Hong Kong.
