Best time to visit Victoria Peak
Hong Kong has a subtropical climate, with high temperatures throughout the year, and the average annual temperature is around 22°C, so Victoria Peak can be visited at any time of the year. We recommend going to the Peak in the late afternoon, so you can not only enjoy the city landscape during the day but also wait for the city to change in a moment as night falls. Hong Kong's night view is very impressive, and it is also one of the top night scenes in the world.
