Attractions<br />

As a premier tourist destination, Hong Kong is a unique blend of East and West, featuring<br />

Chinese traditions, Western heritage, high-tech modernity and Cantonese gusto.<br />

Hong Kong offers a host of memorable tourist attractions within its compact area, with<br />

The Peak, Victoria Harbour and the Big Buddha among the most awe-inspiring. You<br />

will be amazed by the diverse contrasts and close proximity of stunning cityscapes and<br />

soaring mountains, heritage sites and extensive green countryside.<br />

The Peak<br />

Hong Kong’s most popular attraction, The Peak<br />

offers spectacular views over the city, harbour and<br />

mountains beyond. Getting there is an unforgettable<br />

trip. Riding the Peak Tram is a visual experience in<br />

its own right – Hong Kong Island’s skyscrapers slide<br />

past your window at what appear to be impossible<br />

angles as you make the ascent to The Peak on the<br />

city’s historic, funicular railway.<br />
