At the Peak, one can overlook the beautiful Pearl of the Orient

The Sky Terrace 428 at the Peak Tower, designed by the renowned British architect Terry Farrell, is a distinctive bowl-shaped structure and a must-visit tourist attraction in Hong Kong, China, combining sightseeing, entertainment, and shopping. Its appearance has been widely used on millions of postcards and photographs around the globe. Standing on Hong Kong's highest 360-degree viewing platform, the Sky Terrace 428, offers an overwhelming visual experience. At an altitude of 428 meters, you can enjoy a commanding view of the intoxicating urban landscape from the most advantageous geographical location in Hong Kong, giving you a sense of reigning over the world. Additionally, the Peak Tower also features the Sky Gallery, where large exhibition panels display precious early photographs of Hong Kong, allowing visitors to travel back in time and witness the century-long changes of the city. The Peak Tram is the longest-standing and most iconic living witness in the hundred-year history of Hong Kong. In the 1950s, Hollywood came to shoot scenes at the famous Peak Tram and its scenery, including the movie 'Soldier of Fortune' starring international superstar Clark Gable, with both the opening and closing scenes filmed inside the tram car. The famous American TV series 'Love Boat' also featured the Peak Tram. In 1959, the 62-seat all-metal tramcar was officially put into service, the predecessor of the fully automated car. To this day, over 4 million visitors from around the world take the Peak Tram every year, with a daily passenger flow of up to 11,000 people.
