The Hong Kong skyline is renowned for its very high density of skyscrapers, in fact the territory boasts the second largest number of high rises of any city in the world, and Victoria Peak is the best place to take it all in. Rising 1,805 feet above sea level, the summit affords breath-taking views of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, Victoria Harbour, and, on very clear days, Kowloon’s eight mountains. There are several ways to reach the top, but the classic method is a seven-minute ride on the Peak Tram, the world’s steepest funicular railway.
