The Peak

- An Illustrated History of Hong Kong's Top District

Om The Peak

The Peak is Hong Kong's top residential district, where property prices are as high as the altitude. How did it become an exclusive enclave in the business center of 19th-century Asia? The British wanted relief from summer heat and the Peak was the obvious place to escape it. The Governor adopted Mountain Lodge as a summer getaway, and the Peak Tram made access easier. This book describes the popular tourist area then and now.
