Victoria Peak aka The Peak

The first thing to say about Victoria peak is that nobody in Hong Kong ever calls it that, though it is the official name you'll see on maps.  everybody calls it "The Peak", as in "I live on The Peak" (which means you are rich) or "I took the Peak Tram to the Peak" (which means you are a tourist!)

You take the Peak Tram to the Peak Tower at the top -- however the Peak Tower is currently undergoing renovation with pieces being closed all the time.  Last stuff closes end of August 2005.  I don't know when things will reopen you can still go to the Hong Kong Madam Tussards until the end of August.

Although Hong Kong is quite polluted, try to go there on a fine and clear day for best view of the harbour.

Latest: They now talk about opening "mid 2006"

After visiting The Peak take the tram back down to Admiralty and maybe move on to Wanchai and Causeway Bay.
