The best way to get to the very top of the peak is to take a special tram that leaves from the city center every 10-15 minutes. The trip lasts approximately 7 minutes. The last part of the journey is particularly exciting - the tram overcomes the steepest ascent. The top of the peak is the location of the recently completely renovated Peak Tower . The tower has the shape of a Chinese pan.
The observation deck of the tower features simply beautiful views of Hong Kong, but the tower itself deserves no less attention as here visitors will find numerous shops and restaurants. Moreover, the tower regularly becomes the location of various dance and music performances. The tower also houses the Museum of Madame Tussauds. Such a great number of various establishments leave the impression of a big fair. The peak has its own playground for children (Mount Austin), near which visitors will find a beautiful park named Victoria Peak Garden that is famous for a beautiful panorama of Hong Kong harbor. Travellers, who prefer active lifestyle, will be delighted to find a paved walking path around the peak. During a walk along the path tourists will be able to enjoy the ever-changing views of Hong Kong and its suburbs. By the way, there are specially designated places for picnics along the path too.
