Victoria Peak

Last night we went to Victoria Peak- a tower reputable for having the best views of the city's skyline and harbour from the viewing terrace. To get there, take a tram from central to the peak. Although this is one of the city's most scenic transport routes, it is not for the faint of heart. The cable car creeps up a 45 degree slope for 1800ft. And while it has been in operation since 1888 and the view is incomparable, its a long way down and I advise not to look back. Once at the peak, we rode the seemingly endless escalators to reach the terrace where the city's symphony of lights can capture even the most unsuspecting viewer.
