Plan for the Evening & Night : Take the train to the Peak
How to go : From Central walk towards HSBC office building. The tram to the Peak is behind the HSBC office. Or you can also take a bus.
From Jordan MTR station, take the train till Hong Kong island. Change train at Admiralty station.
Behind the HSBC road, go up a stair way to this Battery road, and you will pass by this court house. It looks like some old English building. But I don't think I have seen this court building in TV drama.
St Joseph church. To have wedding in old church building like this, should be the wish of many girls.
It looks very pretty but somehow feel odd. since surrounded by other high rise office building.
I am told that many people go to the Peak but I never guess it is this many. This is just 30-40% of the queue. More people near the ticket counter. I think I queue for an hour plus here.
It is very sunny day. I got darker because of this. (>.<)
The peak ticket. $80 buck but can go to top floor to view the city. Quite worth it if you have a good camera and the weather is good. Please keep this ticket. You need it for the return too.
The train comes quite fast. About 5-10 minutes one train. The rides is very stable and fast.
After reach the peak, you can go to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.
When I first see these wax puppet, I wonder if they really measure the height of real person and do a 1:1 puppet. Some of the puppet feel really short. And I must say "fake"
But early booking is recommended if you want to have meal here. Also prepare for some damage to your wallet. About HKD 400 per person for a meal here.
Note for shopper, there is a Coach Outlet here which might be running promotion sometimes. They have a 50% discount during my visit.
And finally the night view here. It looks fascinating. Worth the time I spent to queue for the tram.
That is all for my Day 2 in HK. I did think of spending the night at Lan Kwai Fong but skip it in the end. Too tired with all the walk in the day.
