"If the weather and smog conditions cooperate, the views from the top of Victoria Peak, aka the Peak, will make your day. Go in late afternoon to catch the sunset and then the glittering, lit-up nightscapeof Hong Kong . Getting up to Hong Kong Island’s highest point, at 1,800 feetabove sea level, is part of the fun. You can always opt for a bus, train, or taxi, but for the best taste of Hong Kong , ride the outdoor (but covered) Mid-Levels escalators, something you won’t find anyplace in the world. It will take about 20 minutes to travel via the series of 20 escalators and three moving walkwaysup to the Peak Tram, a historic century-old funicular railway that makes the rest of the steep trip to the top."
