Victoria Peak Garden is a Victorian style garden near the summit of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. The former Mountain Lodge,an alternate residence for the Governor of Hong Kong,was located there,which has since been demolished,but the park remains as an attraction at the Peak [1] . It is managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
It is a vantage point which captures an over 300m high view of Victoria Harbour and the night scene of Hong Kong. The original landscape remains in the garden. Victoria Peak Garden is designated as an Inclusive Park for Pets [2] .
The Hong Kong government announced on 25 September 2005 that the site will be redeveloped along with the rest of the Peak area at a cost of HK$142.6 million. [3]
