Beautiful Views from The Peak (Victoria Peak) Hong Kong, The City of Life, has one of the most beautiful and stunning views in the world! Therefore it is nick named "Pearl of the Orient". So when you come to Hong Kong, you must not miss this marvellous night scene!

Where to view? To enjoy this spectacular scenery of Victoria Harbour, one must go to The Peak that is above the Central district of Hong Kong Island.

The Peak Tram

Just a reminder, if you have enough time, you should reach the Peak before the sunsets, so that you can enjoy the day-view, sunset and night view of Hong Kong!
