Victoria Peak
Much of the pleasure derived from a trip to Victoria Peak lies
in the journey to its summit. The funicular railway or peak tram
has steadily made its way up the mountain since 1888. Energetic
travellers can scale the real peak that extends 140m (459ft) above
the tram terminus. From the top, marvellous vistas open out onto
central Hong Kong and across to Kowloon. Victoria Peak used to
serve as a hill station in colonial times and later became the
location of exclusive summer homes. Today it is a popular tourist
spot offering a cooler perspective from which to contemplate the
pleasures of travel to the region. The Peak Tower on the summit
houses numerous attractions, like a Ripley's Believe it or not
'Odditorium', shops and restaurants.
