The Peak

The first destination we visited when we reached Hongkong was Outer Banks vacation rentals. Just jokin'. We visited Victoria's Peak or The Peak of Hongkong first. I've read that nighttime is the best time to go up there because the view is spectacular at night.

The Peak is 396 meters above sea level and it offers a 360 degrees view of HK. We rode a Peak Tram going up.

We were disappointed when we reached there. It was foggy and offered no views whatsoever. It was soo chilly and windy too!

Hubby spotted a souvenir shop. It sells photoshopped photos with the perfect HK background at night. Voila! We couldn't resist. LOL!

After we got our photo, we went inside Madame Tussauds. I lost count of all the famous people inside. Here are some of them.










It's nice that The Peak offers a great variety of dining, specialty shops and interactive entertainment. Otherwise, our visit would have been a waste of time and money.

We visited in December 2008. It was very cold up there (we took the tram). Gladly, I was able to snap good shots. http://witsandnuts.com/2009/02/16/where-the-city-lights-and-wind-are-alive/

Oooh, I'm so envious. HK is on my list, but maybe when I finally get to visit PI, sasaglit na lang ako.

@wits, I saw your all your pics. They're great!

@Photocache, it's better if you're coming from Phils. It's cheaper that way =)
