Nature is close by

Untouched forests and long, peaceful climbs may not come to mind when you think of Hong Kong. The city's maintained green spaces, however, can be seen at practically every turn. This is notably true on Hong Kong Island, where Victoria Peak (dubbed "The Peak" by locals) dominates the landscape and is home to one of the city's most popular walks (along with stunning views of Victoria Harbour and the city below).

The funicular to the summit is the most popular mode of transportation, however to avoid huge waits, we recommend taking a taxi up and a tram down. Looking for a different way to get away?Dragon's Back, Lantau Island, Yin Tsz Ngam, and Lamma Island are all worth seeing. All of these may be reached by bus, ferry, private boat, or MTR.
