Sure, you could take the tram, relaxing and enjoying sweeping views of Hong Kong Harbor as you rise above the city and up into the green woods of Victoria Peak. But isn't the view so much more beautiful when you've really earned it?

The walk will take about an hour, depending on your fitness level. For the first half you'll be walking on sidewalks, then for the second half it's all park. Start by walking uphill through the Hong Kong Zoo. After that, almost any road with a sidewalk that's heading upwards will do. Eventually you'll see signs to guide you the rest of the way.
