But yes, you know you reach when you saw.. the breathtaking Hong Kong cityscape view.
All the high skyscraper buildings.. it’s really beautiful.
Yes, for those who know me well, they would know that I always prefer a concrete jungle.
But it’s just quite unfortunate each time I visit The Peak, it’s always during a foggy season.
Don’t think I actually had a picture of the Hong Kong cityscape which is crystal clear.
Then again, I’m not complaining. I still find it beautiful 🙂
LOL.. each time I came to this place, I can’t help but to notice this place.
I mean not like anyone will miss it out.
And I bet it’s in at least 98% of the tourist’s photos.
But yes, even at it’s most foggy moments.. I still love the beauty of this place.
It’s quite interesting and lucky HK people are.
Sea and concrete jungle. Both my favourite at the same time.
What else to do at the peak aside from taking photo you ask?
Take a deep breath and enjoy the good scenery.
Yeah baby… pretty!
My favourite karaoke song of all time.
Every time I attended a karaoke, I will sing this song.
As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I’m doin’ all I can
To be a better man
Don’t worry Robbie, you are not alone.
We are all trying all our best to be a better person and a better singer too .

In due of time, we didn’t really went out and took pictures of The Peak Tower itself.
Yeah, been there and done that probably a few years ago.
And the focus this time is more of bringing my other cousin for a quick pit stop.
While walking upwards towards the Sky Terrace 428, I can’t help but to notice something interesting.

LOL! Yes, of course it’s gotta be the mega superstar Bruce Lee himself and Kelly Chan.
Go Kelly! Go.. after all, we both have the same surname. Haha..
Kelly said.. come give me a hug Mandy.
Awww.. don’t be shy!
OK Kelly.. since you insisted 🙂
We carried our warm bodies to the highest point in Hong Kong Island, The Peak.
Yes, it’s a must do touristy thing in my opinion.
Really? You asked. And the answer.. is a definite yes from me.
How exactly are we going to get there you may ask?
No.. no.. I’m definately not walking up.
Not from the very bottom at least.
And no.. no.. I am not that posh to drive up or being driven up there.
Like said earlier.. as a tourist myself. I of course did the touristy thingy.
Which yes, I took the  tram. The Peak Tram is rich with history, going back all the way to 120 years.
And what better way to really experience the different means of transportation in Hong Kong!

Now yes, who are we kidding if we have no photo pose moments at such an iconic place in Hong Kong.
And yes, the queue was not that long, since we are there quite early.
But for sure the crowd is building.
If you think this is packed already, you have not seen worst.
We missed the earlier tram. But it was not entirely a bad thing.
At least we are at the front of the queue.
It isn’t such a long wait since the frequency of the trams are about every 10 – 15 mins.
Hip hip hooray! The tram has finally arrived.
Everyone is ever excited. As can see, there are many people who will just push their way to the front
From me being at the front to many others cutting their way in.
Some hoping to jump on board faster.. some with their big iPad or camera trying to get a view of the tram.
Why the rush people.. why?
We are on holiday! And we’re supposed to take it slow and relax.
I know the tram won’t leave me behind! I just know.
Now boys and girls, let’s sit back and enjoy the ride.
Let’s go!
