Peak Tower, Commercial complex at Victoria Gap, Hong Kong
Peak Tower is a modern commercial complex at Victoria Gap with a distinctive wok-shaped roof structure that overlooks Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong's skyline. The eight-story building combines observation decks with shopping and dining facilities for visitors at the summit.
The original structure was designed and opened in 1972 by architect Chung Wah Nan to welcome visitors at the summit. It was replaced in 1997 with a new building that became the modern landmark visible from across the harbor today.
The building houses Madame Tussauds, the first permanent location of the wax museum franchise in Asia-Pacific. Visitors can encounter and photograph wax figures of Asian and international celebrities in lifelike poses.
The tower functions as the upper terminal station of the Peak Tram and provides multiple levels for exploring views of the harbor and city. Restaurants, souvenir shops, and restroom facilities are available throughout, though expect crowded conditions during peak visiting hours.
On clear days, the observation decks offer views that stretch all the way to Aberdeen, a town on the far side of the island. This expansive vista is often overlooked by visitors who focus only on the harbor directly below.
