Take the Train Ride: The Peak Tram in HK!

If you love trains in general, there's no reason for you to miss this opportunity in Hong Kong. Go to the Peak Tram Terminus near Bank of China Tower and St. Jokn's Cathedral. You won't miss it. Every taxi driver there knows where it is.

Line up for a ticket, and up you go! The slope is a bit steep; some parts of it go about forty-five degrees. It's exciting to go up there. You see different views of the mountainside, with their condominiums and staircases of streets. The ride's a bit short but worth it. Once you get to the Peak, you see the breathtaking view of the whole of Hong Kong. It's especially beautiful at noghttime. Lights all around.

Atop the Peak you can choose between two malls on top of the mountain range. Dine, shop, and go to Madame Toussad's wax museum. It's fun, it's exciting. Enjoy your stay.

For more information, check out www.thepeak.com.hk. You'll love the view.

A warning: it gets a bit cold there during winter. Check out the weather first if it's rainy. If rainy or cloudy, don't go up. The fog ruins the view. Just a tip.

Well, it seems really popular for all the driver to know that place. And from what you have said, that place is really beautiful. The scenery is really beautiful especially at night. The light in the city looks like fireflies. Even here in the Philippines, cities are also beautiful particularly in Manila.But I think I’ll just travel here in the Philippines instead in Hong Kong because Hong Kong is too far.
