Victoria Peak 太平山 is the tallest point on Hong Kong Island. Also called The Peak, and less commonly as Mount Austin, it stands at 552 m (1,811 ft) above sea level. Althought the highest point on Hong Kong Island, it is only the 31st highest mountain in the entire Hong Kong SAR, where the tallest mountain is the 957-meter Tai Mo Shan in the New Territories.
The very top of Victoria Peak is surmounted by a telecommunications facility and off-limits to the public. The surrounding areas are a parkland with various view points of Hong Kong Island and the surrounding region. Some of the most expensive residential properties in Hong Kong are located in the vicinity, commanding an almost "aerial view" of everything below.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
