Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak is perhaps the most significant landmark of Hong Kong. The native people yearn for an accommodation in Victoria Peak. Interestingly, this peak was never so popular before 1888 and very few people were actually aware of the presence of Victoria Peak before that. But it became a hot tourist spot only after the opening of the Peak Tramway in 1888.
The Peak Tram operates from 5.40 in the morning till 1 at night and it takes people up and down. Only two cars run in this route carrying 72 passengers and one driver. It is surely a major tourist attraction in Hong Kong and people love to go for a walk in the bamboo and fern forest of Victoria Peak.
