The Lion's Pavilion is a two level structure just a couple minutes walk from the Peak Tower, where you will arrive if using the historic Peak Tram. This is a free access viewing platform with excellent views of Victoria Harbour and the city of Hong Kong below.
Just walk down small Finley Road, to your left, after exiting the Peak Tower. You'll soon see the traditional Chinese structure with a moon gate style entrance. As you enter, you'll find several rows of steps, which help distribute crowds across the viewing platform area.
There is a traditional covered pavilion area as well, which is ideal for rainy conditions. Along the sides of the Lion's Pavilion, there are steps leading to a lower level viewing platform. This level isn't highly utilised by tour groups so can be a nicer place to enjoy the views if the upper level is too crowded.
From Lion's Pavilion, you have unobstructed views of Victoria Harbour, the Hong Kong Skyline and the Kowloon Skyline. When viewing conditions are favourable, this is a wondeful spot to include in your sightseeing at The Peak. Views are still impressive here when air quality isn't great. Lastly, after dark, it doesn't matter what the air quality is like, views are just remarkable.
In the end, if you plan to visit Victoria Peak, this is a must-see spot. It is free, easily accessible from the arrival area at the Peak and offers world-class, post-card quality views...
