Hong Kong's Top 16

Rising above the financial heart of Hong Kong Island, Victoria Peak offers su-
perlative views of the city and the mountainous countryside beyond. Ride the
hair-raising Peak Tram, Asia's first cable funicular (in operation since 1888) to the
cooler climes at the top as skyscrapers and apartment blocks recede into the dis-
tance. At dusk Victoria Harbour glitters like the Milky Way on a sci-fi movie poster,
mysterious and full of promise, as the lights come on. A view to die for!
