Flo G
★★★★★4 months agoA wonderful spot for that panoramic Hong Kong view instead of the Peak Galleria with a sea of people. Easy hike flat trail for around 15-20 minutes to the end. Came by during sunset peak to catch sun setting and the night views. Coming here by bus 15 was a little challenging with full buses and winding exciting drives up the peak!! Do allow more time to get up here and down. Long snaking bus queues await going back to central. However buses came quite quickly which was a consolation. Still a worthwhile easy trail ….

★★★★★4 months agoOne of the best ways to experience Victoria Peak, and far less crowded than the Peak Tower area. The trail loops around the peak and takes roughly 45 minutes at a comfortable pace, making it totally manageable for most fitness levels. The highlight is the views. It was a bit foggy when I visited, but Hong Kong’s skyline was still visible through the mist, honestly it added a bit of atmosphere, and the air up there is genuinely fresh. There’s also a small park along the way with exercise equipment if you want to make a proper workout of it. Highly recommended.
