1. Castle of Magical Dreams at Hong Kong Disneyland

Step into a world of excitement and adventure with the new Castle of Magical Dreams at Hong Kong Disneyland. The castle was inspired by Disney Princesses and Queens and designed to display how these heroines accomplished their dreams.

The new castle at Disney World is breathtaking, and the night-time spectacular “Momentous” is not to be missed. Large-scale projections illuminate the castle, transforming it into an inspiring narrative featuring Disney’s beloved characters.

2. Peak Tram and Peak Tower

For a stunning view of Hong Kong’s skyline, including Victoria Harbor, the Kowloon peninsula, and various green mountain peaks, take a ride on the recently upgraded Peak Tram. It’s the oldest funicular railway in Asia and the most popular way to reach Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island.

Atop Victoria Peak is a shopping and sightseeing destination: The Peak Tower. It features multiple restaurants, shops and entertainment, and a world-class viewing platform standing 428 meters above sea level—the highest viewing platform in Hong Kong.

The Peak Tower is also home to Madame Tussauds, Peak Galleria, and Monopoly Dreams⁠—the first Monopoly-themed attraction in the world, sure to bring fun for every family member.
