A Must Visit in Hong Kong to The Peak
by Jessyln

November12

A week that I spend in both cities Shanghai and Hong Kong was not enough. Two modern cities in China filled with plenty of interesting places to shopping and hanging out. My friends and I, we were very happy to finally able visit two cities full of highlights. Then, here I would like to share you my experience in Hong Kong because personally I love the city and its atmosphere. There are lots of cheap cosmetics, branded bags, shopping malls, parks, and others. So, a total 4 days in Hong Kong was not enough for me.

A journey to Hong Kong is not complete without experiencing Victoria Peak.The Peak is the highest point on Hong Kong Island, this has been the city most exclusive neighbourhood since colonial times. This is where you get the best views of Hong Kong Island. The best way to go to The Peak is by Tram Peak. Most visitors would take the Peak Tram to reach the Peak including us. The ride is quite steep and it climbs up to 396 metres above sea level. We could see a spectacular panorama view over the northern coast of Hong Kong Island, Victoria Harbour and Kowloon. Trams operate at about 10 till 15 minute frequency and the journey from terminus to terminus takes about 7 minutes.

Located at Lower Terminus, The Peak Tram Historical Gallery features fifteen window displays with memorabilia illustrating the history of the Peak Tram during the 19th and 20th centuries. It is also become a witness for Hong Kong history of 120 years city's changes. A visit to the gallery will bring back some memories to local or foreigner travelers about the development of the city. It is free for all passengers using the Lower Peak Tram Terminus.

When we arrived at the Peak Tower, I could see the Viewing Terrace on top of the building. We could admire Hong Kong best view at night or daylight with its different atmosphere. More than that, there also boasts Hong Kong Madame Tussauds, plenty of souvenir shops, restaurants, coffee shops and etc. At the peak, you will also find an open square garden, the Peak Lookout restaurant, The Peak Gelleria Shopping Mall and Visitor Information Counter. It is also a very ideal place for couple who comes at night to have a romantic dinner.
