One of the must go attractions at the Peak. Walk around 15 minutes from the Peak Tower and can enjoy fresh air and the beautiful garden in Hong Kong.
Also a pet friendly place!

When you get to the peak be it by walking, the tram, number 15 bus or taxi then head towards mount Austin road. It’s a medium to tough hike up to the gardens but worth it and at night if you are brave enough you’ll see some weird and wonderful animals! Be aware there are cobras although you’ll be lucky to see one if you call that lucky. Take water warm clothes and a torch and have your phone charged.

We stumbled across this on our climb up Victoria Peak. It was an amazing area of calm and tranquility. It has great views of the surrounding landscape and islands and was empty when we visited. Definitely worth a visit when visiting Victoria Peak.

...so close to the always busy Peak, with some really interesting architecture and lovely spaces all around. This would make an ideal place to bring children for a run around or perhaps a picnic.

The Gardens is about a 20-30 minute walk uphill from The Victoria Peak. You just follow Mt. Austin road until you reach it. The paths around the garden are well maintained so it was really nice to walk around the area. The gardens were also quite nicely trimmed so everything looked tidy and picturesque. Then there's a viewing platform at the top of the gardens which overlooks the ocean.
A nice place to walk around or just sit and watch the view. The best part was that it wasn't very crowded so it was also quite peaceful.

Escape the crowds at the end of the tram for a nice not too crowded park with amazing views. Unfortunately are the actual peaks obstructed with communication masts (Victoria Peak & Mt Austin) and but you get nice views just at the fences. At the top platform area there is a lady selling tasty sandwiches, ice cream and steamed fishballs at half the price compared to the viewing platform below.
Best views are from the High West Peak just outside of the actual park.

The tram car that goes up is out of service for a few months, so take the bus up. The free viewpoint is nice , but you can spend a bit of money to go to the highest point on the terrace. A lot of good food options too.

Most tourists think that where the tram terminates is the highest point you can get to on HK island but they are wrong. You can get a lot higher to some lovely secluded gardens and to a spectacular and free viewpoint.
To get there you can drive up Mount Austin Road to the car park (pay and display) at the top or you walk there on the road that starts more or less next to the visitor information centre. The walk takes about 20 minutes - just keep heading upwards along a bendy country lane that has no pavement in some places. After a quarter of a mile or so you pass a well kept beautiful garden (with toilets) where you can sit a while on the numerous benches.
As you continue upwards you pass some lovely properties and then a small colonial style building which was a lodge to the Governor's House before WW2 - there is an information board. Climb further on the road and you reach the car park and shelter which offer nice views to the south.
Below you to the left are the gardens which are interesting and quite well kept. There is a small formal garden with pergolas and then several acres of naturalistic planting and woodland which can be explored on the 'Governor's Walk'. Few tourists make it here. I think there are toilets at the top by the car park but no other facilities.
If like me you love to climb higher head to the rear left-hand corner of the formal garden with the pergolas and you will see about 15 steps that lead you onto a concrete path which climbs much higher to a radio mast. The view is quite spectacular and very bracing if it s windy. The ground is uneven at the very top so be careful. You are now some 300 feet above even the viewing deck of the Peak Tower.

As an alternative to going “the usual route” to visit Victoria Peak, we took a private car to Victoria Peak Garden and got dropped off at the Gate Lodge, enjoying the scenery and peacefulness of that portion of the garden. Governor’s Walk was such a tranquil little hike on a paved path, revealing views that differed from those at Peak Tower, etc. It was such a wonderful respite from all of the hustle and bustle in the city below, if not the tourist areas on the Peak itself. The trail left us at the large pavilion (former Mountain Lodge) with extraordinary views. Amazing!
There were only 3 or 4 people at the pavilion, all local residents exercising or preparing to take the walk below. We continued to enjoy the views form the pavilion and walked around other areas of the garden, finding more and more idyllic sections as we walked down Austin Road towards Peak Tower.
I highly recommend visiting Victoria Peak Garden – pull away from the masses and bask in nature and serenity!
