VICTORIA PEAK, Presentation

Hi, my name’s Scott, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: Victoria Peak.

Victoria Peak, the highest point in Hong Kong, is a hill with a maximum height of 552 meters, in a position that offers the finest views of the city and its surroundings.

Fortunately for you, there’s an extremely efficient cableway, called the Peak Tram – in operation since 1888 – that runs every 10 minutes and takes a hundred or so passengers up to the top. The beautiful red carriages and wooden seats are a reminder of its glorious past, as it climbs up the 400 or so meters from the lower station at Central to the arrival station where you’ll be welcomed by a peculiar structure: Peak Tower.

The original shape, reminiscent of an anvil, is unmistakable. Inside this ultra-modern structure, you’ll find restaurants, shops and the Hong Kong branch of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum....
