Hong Kong Travel: The Peak Sky Terrace, The Peak

The Peak is having a concept called "The Peak I <3 You" when we visited. So the Peak Tower is decorated in hearty concept.

We totally gave up on our initial plan to catch the sunset because we simply could not wait any longer #easilybored. So we decided to just heck and proceed to the Sky Terrace. You'll be given the audio device for the Sky tour.

The view of Hong Kong from above is beautiful. And from the Sky Terrace you can get a 360 degree view of Hong Kong Island.

View from another angle.

And another one. If you want to get the perfect spot to take picture, you need to secure your spot for I dunno how long. When we visited the Sky Terrace, a number of people with their photography gear all prepped up hogging the spot for a perfect picture-taking opportunity I guess. Since we are not that gung-ho about catching the right picture, we simply take picture from random spots. LOL.

I <3 you, the Peak! =)

Hong Kong Travel: Madame Tussauds Hong Kong

Since it's only 5-something in the afternoon, we decided to go have fun at the wax museum first before we went up to the Sky Terrace. Madame Tussauds HK is located inside the Peak Tower and you better pray hard that you are not visiting the place when the place is filled with tourist groups.

Before you enter the wax museum, I think it's considered a must to take picture with a legendary icon, Bruce Lee. Hehehe.

The museum has a pretty extensive collection ranging from Hollywood to Asian celebrities. It even has collection of world leaders and historical figures too.

Even Edward Cullen. O_o!

Johnny Depp, anyone? They should have dressed him in pirate costume. Hehe.

It was pretty big news when Donnie Yen has its own wax twin. So we are looking forward to take picture with him.

Posing with my Ip Man. Checked! =)

I don't want to spoil the fun for you so for the rest of the wax figures, you can check them out yourselves, ok? XD

The souvenir shop does not really have anything interesting for us to buy so we just kinda had fun playing around with the superheroes mask. Call me Spidey! =P

The Peak Tower, Hong Kong

We are finally here at the Peak Tower. Yeah!

Since it's not sunset yet, we wandered around the Peak Galleria mall to take some pictures. Here's a replica of the tram.

If you don't want to pay extra to go to the observation deck. You can get this view from level 2 of the Peak Tower. I think the balcony is located near to the entrance of Burger King.

Talking about Burger King, beer is apparently sold here.

If Burger King is not to your liking (yep you can eat BK easily anywhere I suppose), you can eat HK dessert too in one of the food stalls inside the Peak Tower.

Curious about what other things you can do here? Keep on reading! =)

The Peak Tram, Central, Hong Kong

The Peak is one of the national icon of Hong Kong and we are going to ride the tram to the top. The tram station is actually located near Central MTR station and there are a lot of signs pointing to the station so you don't really need a map to find it.

We reached the ticket counter around 4ish and the queue was already long. Zzz. But it moved pretty fast so I guess it's not that horrifying after all.

My travelling companion never visit Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong so we decided to buy the package for the Peak observatory and the wax museum. The package price for the tram, the sky pass (observatory) and the wax museum costs HKD310. If you buy online, you can apparently get it cheaper at HKD290 (see link).

Yep, welcome to the crowded waiting area. =S

Finally managed to get ourselves inside the tram.

If you happen to sit at the right side of the tram, you can catch a glimpse of the view from the way uphill.

The tram ride is not that long, so if you don't get a seat, at least you don't have to stand for a long time. Hehehe.

Enjoy the ride uphill~~~
