Victoria Peak
Hong Kong Taiping Mountain (Victoria Peak in English), is generally referred to as the "Peak of Taiping Mountain", and therefore it is simply called the Mountain Peak by Hong Kong people.
Victoria Peak is the highest mountain on Hong Kong island with an elevation of 552 meters. As early as the beginning of the nineteenth Century, Victoria Peak became the landmark for cargo ships to enter the port. In view of the hot and humid climate in Hong Kong, Victoria Peak has also naturally become a summer resort for many high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
