The Peak is the highest point on Hong Kong Island with an elevation of 552m. It is one of the most prestigious residential districts in Hong Kong. The area is extensively covered by country parks and hiking trails yet it is in close proximity to Central (10 to 15-min commute). There is a mix of modern and older colonial style blocks. The majority of properties in the area are large in size. Residents have access to basic amenities and supermarkets at The Peak Galleries shopping complex. There is also a major transport terminus at the basement of The Peak Galleria with a taxi stand and bus routes. Other highlights: The Peak Tower has a large viewing deck with panoramic harbour views and many shops and restaurants. It can be reached by the Peak Tram, a funicular railway with a terminus in Central.
