The Peak Galleria (Chinese: 山頂廣場) is a leisure and shopping complex and tourist attraction located at Victoria Gap, near the summit of Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The architecture firm Aedas designed The Peak Galleria. It is owned and run by Hang Lung Properties.[1] also includes bus termini for public buses run by Citybus and New World First Bus, as well as green minibuses that serve the Peak.

The shopping complex houses a number of eateries, one of Goods of Desire's flagship stores,[2] and a museum and souvenir shop Hong Kong Trams Station.[3] It also has an free-entry observatory deck on level 3, which is larger than the one at the Peak Tower.[4]
