The park stands on the foundations of the Mountain Lodge, which was demolished in 1946.
Some original stonework and stone pillars from the former Mountain Lodge remain at the site.
The garden is situated at an elevation of approximately 552 meters above sea level.
It is officially classified as a 'themed garden' managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
The site includes a preserved Victorian-style guard house.
Victoria Peak Garden is located on the former site of the Mountain Lodge, the colonial summer residence of Hong Kong’s governors. The grounds were converted into a public park in 2010, maintaining elements of Victorian-style landscaping and architectural remnants. It occupies the highest point on Victoria Peak, situated above the Peak Galleria and the main tourist lookout. The garden features tiered lawns, pagoda structures, sundials, and period-inspired lamp posts. Despite its elevation, the park is less crowded than the adjacent Peak Tower viewing areas. It provides a unique perspective of the city's skyline framed by Victorian stone masonry and manicured hedges.

Bring a windbreaker as temperatures are noticeably cooler and windier here than in the city center.
Walk the additional ten minutes past the Peak Galleria to reach the entrance, as many tourists stop prematurely.
The path leading to the garden is steep; wear supportive footwear.
Do not mistake the crowded Peak Tower viewing deck for this quieter garden; keep walking uphill.
Maintain quiet to preserve the tranquil atmosphere; no littering as there are limited bins.
