A unique way to approach the Victoria Peak experience is to join in a trip via the Peak Tram which was established in 1988 and soak in the incredible and panoramic views of Hong Kong from The Sky Terrace 428.

3. IFC Mall
Luring the self-proclaimed shopaholics and big spenders out of the wood-works, the International Finance Centre Mall offers the best of Hong Kong, accommodating a grandiose range of niches from retail to cuisine and entertainment. For those desiring more than just a souvenir to treasure, this miscellaneous paradise is guaranteed to please all.
4. Man Mo Temple
Built-in 1847 and filled with incense coil and lanterns, this beautifully preserved temple on the western edge of Central is an interesting sensory experience thanks to the smell of incense and the lingering smoke. It gives Man Mo Temple an atmospheric and timeless quality that reflects sharply with Central business district, just 10 minutes down the slope. Man Mo actually reveres two deities: Man, the God of Literature, and Mo, the God of War.
5. Hong Kong Observation Wheel
The Hong Kong Observation Wheel is an addition to the city and one of the easiest ways to get a bird's eye view of downtown Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour. It is a smooth and relaxing journey around so even those who feel uneasy with heights should soon get used to the experience. The best time to ride the Hong Kong Observation Wheel is between the hours of 18:00 (the changing sky makes the backdrop especially beautiful) and 20:15 when the Symphony of Lights turns the buildings into a visual arts display.
6. Graham Street Market
This gem of a market hosts a vast array of stalls exhibiting produce ranging from local fruits and vegetables to ornate trinkets. Immerse yourself in the more rural side of Hong Kong and eat the food that has been cherished and adored by many generations. Whatever you require, look no further as the market entices you with inviting foods wrapped up in a welcoming ambiance, enhanced by the cheery dispositions of the stall owners. Relish the mouth-watering dim sum, among other delectable street foods and dried fruits and nuts, relive the old Hong Kong, capture the sights with your camera and make memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
7. Star Ferry
With subways, bridges and tunnels now connecting Hong Kong Island with Kowloon, there is no real need to take the Star Ferry Crossing across the Victoria Harbour, and yet it is one of the finest attractions in Hong Kong for getting a sense of the living history that is present in Hong Kong even today. Founded in 1888, there are actually two crossings across the bay, but the most popular is from Central Ferry Pier to Kowloon.
