If you’re looking for the perfect vantage point to get unhindered and the best view of Hong Kong, hike up or take the tram up to Victoria Peak. If you’re back packing or travelling on a tight budget around Asia, looking for accommodation that won’t burn a hotel through your wallet isn’t quite hard. Budget travellers in search of affordable hotels in Asia, would find that there are plenty springing up around the city of Hong Kong, such as those by Travelodge Hotels Asia. With mesmerizing views of the harbour and the city, the view from Victoria Peak will be one that you’ll never forget.

The Peak Tower is recognized as one of the most unusual building structures in the city, anvil shaped – it’s about 1,299 feet above ground. The large platform where you can get the best view of the city is from Sky Terrace 428, located in The Peak Tower. You’ll also be able to browse through and shop at the retail outlets or enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants available here. The Peak Galleria also has an observation deck – which is free, as compared to Sky Terrace 428, and is complete with retail and dining outlets as well. The Sky Terrace is open from 10am to 11pm; Monday to Friday.

Travelling by the Peak Tram to the top is an experience by itself. Taking a total of 10 minutes to reach the top, the Peak Tram is definitely the best way to reach the top while being blessed with amazing views of the city. The Peak Tram is known to have been in operation for the last 120 years, and The Peak Tram Historical Gallery depicts a number of pictures showcasing this. The Peak Tram operates from 7 am to midnight from Monday to Sunday, with a frequency of 10 -15 minutes.
