After visiting Western Market, we walked to the lower Peak Tram terminus, which is located at Central. We bought a combo package offered by . It was a 3-in-1 combo package, which consists of the return ticket for Peak Tram and also the admission to the museum and Sky Terrace. The terminal was quite crowded as everyone was heading to the upper Peak Tram station.

It took us about 8 minutes to reach the summit of Victoria Peak, or known as The Peak locally. This is the biggest tourist attraction in Hong Kong, with seven millions visitors every year. For this reason, two major leisure and shopping centres, the Peak Tower and Peak Galleria were built to accommodate the large flock of tourists.

We planned to take the 3km circular hike around the Peak Circuit. It was awesome as we can enjoy the spectacular views of Hong Kong island and Victoria Harbors while strolling around the path. You might stand a chance to meet with Tony Leong here :) We actually met someone similar but too bad none of us can recognize him… Can someone prove it ? hahaha :D

 

 

We took about 2 hours to complete the trail and back to the square. Without any hesitation, we went to Madame Tussauds, which is located inside the Peak Tower. This wax museum origins from London, set up by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud. There are many wax figures inside this museum, including historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers.

After visiting the museum, we had our “lunch” at McDonald, in Peak Galleria. There are many shops in this shopping mall, and we wandered around to kill time. Then, we went back to the Peak Tower for the Sky Terrace. Another interesting spot in this building would be the EA Experience, as it is a virtual world for the visitors to play or purchase the EA games.

The sky was getting darker as the night falls. We made our way up to Sky Terrace to enjoy the night scene in Hong Kong. It was quite windy and we were chilled by the air. But, we were all fascinated by the glistening lights of Hong Kong. It was breathtaking and exciting, as if Hong Kong is just right under your feet.

We had a good time and sweet memories here. Yeah, is time to take the tram back to Central and hunt for food. Cheers… XD
