Reflecting a vibrant mix of Western cultural practices that coexist seamlessly with the traditions of the Chinese culture, Hong Kong has come a long way from the trading port of yester years and become a cosmopolitan centre, bridging the East and the West. Renowned for its extensive skyline and natural terrain, its fusion of the East and the West is depicted in its cuisine, cinema, music and traditions. A city of jade by day and a sea of twinkling lights by night, it’s a unique mix of the new and the old, where dim sum and hot dogs are found side by side!
Even though Hong Kong is considered as the world’s most vertical city that boasts of the greatest number of sky scrapers, it is also famous for its hilly terrain that provides a gorgeous backdrop for the expansive skyline. Victoria Peak, locally referred to as “The Peak” is once such place that offers definite postcard scenery.
Being 554 meters above sea level, it’s the highest mountain of the Hong Kong Island and offers spectacular views of central Hong Kong, Victoria Harbor, and the surrounding islands. Visitors are greeted by lush tropical forests and extensive birdlife. Winding through mountainous landscape, the walks are both visually exciting and easy for visitors to access. With its panoramic view over the city and its temperate climate The Peak has become a major tourist attraction in Hong Kong, with some seven million visitors every year which has also resulted in the establishment of two major leisure and shopping complexes, the Peak Tower and the Peak Galleria, which draws even more visitors than ever.
They say the beauty of Hong Kong can be experienced from The Peak on a clear day from morn to dusk, and is parallel to none. Whilst looking for ideal accommodation that features excellent hospitality and remarkable service, check out Langham Place Mongkok Hong Kong, a
