Yang
★★★★★4 months agoNear The Peak Tower, the Lions Pavilion is a traditional Chinese‑style pavilion offering free panoramic views of Hong Kong’s skyline and harbour. Less crowded than the paid Sky Terrace 428, it provides an excellent vantage point for photos and sunset watching. Easily accessible from the Peak Tram or Bus 1 or 15, it’s a peaceful and scenic spot that complements a visit to Victoria Peak.
Tri Nguyen
★★★★★3 months agoLocated right next to The Peak Tower and Peak Galleria, and just steps from the Peak Tram arrival, this spot is very easy to access. The Lion Pavilion offers a great view of the city, especially at night when the skyline lights up. There’s also a nearby walking trail where you can enjoy a quieter atmosphere with sounds of nature. Plenty of restaurants and bars around if you want to relax and take in the view.
