...impossible not to be overwhelmed by awe at the vision of the harbor from the heights of Victoria Peak, the most notorious and by far most spectacular sight of Asia's most dynamic, ebullient and thriving metropolis. The city's tallest hill, Victoria Peak provides streams of round-the-clock tourists as well as locals in search of solace from the city's frenetic life, with unparalleled views of the land below, the handsome towers and Kai Tak's airport constantly blinking lights.
