Sky Terrace

Sky Terrace (凌霄閣摩天台) is a scenic spot located on the top of The Peak Tower, offering a stunning 360-degree panoramic view across the Hong Kong. Unfortunate for us, it was a hazy night, thus we were unable to get a clear sky view of Hong Kong.

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong (香港杜莎夫人蠟像館), the infamous wax museum is also located at The Peak Tower.

Lastly, Hong Kong Disneyland Official Ticketing Counter can also be found in The Peak Tower. The pricing for tickets are still the same but if you purchase your tickets here, you get tons of goodies. We have received a mini Disney umbrella and a photo frame for buying our tickets here!
