Of the many, many spots in HK that could to be said to provide the best view, this loop around from The Peak has as good case as any, particularly as it provides views of island all the way from Kennedy Town to Causeway Bay. Very much worth wandering around if you do visit The Peak, as the first part provides some good views out to Lamma too. Some amazing trees around too, lots of them with info plaques as well: how helpful!

The Lion's Pavilion is a multiple-level viewpoint you will find just one minute walk from Peak Tower. This is a free place to visit and also where you find some of the very best views of Victoria Harbour as well as the Hong Kong and Kowloon skylines. This structure here is designed with simple Chinese architecture featuring a traditional moon gate entrance, a small traditional pavilion and a series of small terrace sections, seemingly cobbled together alongside Findlay Road. You'll also see a handful of small lion statues mounted around the terraces. In the end, the Lion Pavilion is a neat place, conveniently located and easy to appreciate given that it is free for everyone to use to see outstanding views over Victoria Harbour.

Peak Tower is the terminus for Peak Tram, and also an attraction in its own right. You can buy a combined entry ticket for both (HK$90) and it’s well worth it. The lower part of the Tower is a series of shops with various grades of expensive tat, and some diners. However, further up the escalators is where the real attraction is. Battle you way through the souvenir photo salesmen, and you find yourself on top of the building, with an expansive and vertiginous view of Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong and Kowloon. Behind you is a view to the sea and islands to the west, and this is where the magic lies. Arrive just before dusk, and for the next 30-45 minutes you are treated to an ever-changing scene as the sun sets quickly, and then Hong Kong after dark. The tram can get busy both up and down around this time, so time your journey carefully, but there’s plenty to do on Victoria Peak if you arrive earlier. You can do the trip both during the day and at night, but there’s something magical as one turns into the other. Obviously weather-dependent, but this really is something you really should do whilst visiting Hong Kong.
