Obviously you've heard of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. This is the place to go if you want to catch a glimpse of one of the world's most beautiful skyline. Hong Kong actually has the most skyscrapers and high rise buildings in the world. There are two places in Hong Kong that you should go to see exactly what does this means. One of the place is to be in Victoria Peak.
In order to reach The Peak, which is one of the most popular tourist attraction in Hong Kong, you need to ride The Peak Tram and you can catch this at Hong Kong island in Central district. Most tourists that follow tour groups only managed to go to The Peak at day time. I should know better, been here twice and its only during day time. Well, we still get to see the skyscrapers but it is nothing compared to what you get to see at night.
This is the view at The Peak during daytime. It's OK only right? The night view is a totally different story. If you can plan wisely, you should be able to view both the day view as well as the night view.
Anyway I'm pretty sure that 80% of tourist in Hong Kong would like to go to The Peak. So you can imagine the nightmare of catching the tram which is the only way to go up to The Peak. Be prepared to queue for nothing less than 1 hour on any given day. I can't even imagine what the queue is gonna be like during holidays. So, if you wanna catch both the day and night view from the summit, you gotta be at the station latest by 4pm.
Since the last time I'm here, I don't remember seeing this structure. Basically if you see this, you know you're at The Peak.
Since the last time I'm here, I also don't remember seeing this shopping complex. But its here and it's such a good idea because we can hang around here during day time, grab a dinner and then go back to catch the night view.
This is my son, all clad in jacket and gloves because the weather at night is very very chilly with the strong wind blowing at The Peak of 552 metres above sea level.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the night view of Hong Kong at The Peak. OK, maybe my camera and photography skill doesn't do it justice but trust me, it is just simply breathtaking.Look at the crowd. I'm standing in one of the least favour spot but can still see the night view below!
Just gotta take more pictures of this absolutely stunning view.
