Where is the fun in Hong Kong?

Victoria Peak is the highest peak on Hong Kong Island. It is located in the northwest of Hong Kong Island and has always been a symbol of Hong Kong. Victoria Peak, also known as Victoria Peak or Cheqi Mountain, is the most prestigious high-end residential area in Hong Kong Island and a famous tourist attraction in Hong Kong. Victoria Peak is a good place to enjoy the night view. Taking the Peak Tram is the best way to climb to the top to enjoy the night view. .
Take the cable car from the Garden Road cable car terminus in Central and it only takes 7 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. Riding on the cable car, due to visual errors, you will find that all the buildings built along the mountain seem to be tilted. The higher the building, the more obvious the tilt angle, which is very interesting. In addition to the cable car, you can also take bus No. 15 or walk to Victoria Peak.
While walking, you can enjoy the scenery of Wan Chai District and Victoria Harbor from another angle at the Stubbs Road Observation Deck in the middle of the mountain. However, the walk takes a long time, about 15 hours, and some sections are steep. Those with poor physical strength are better to choose other ways to go up the mountain!
