A peek of Victoria's Peak

This past weekend was one of the first nice weather weekends since I've been in HK. Most of the time, it's been very cloudy with lots of overcast so I thought it'd be the perfect day to check out Victoria's Peak which is THE landmark to see in HK. So I met up with my Aussie friend Daniel to head up to the peak. For a city that's as busy and populated as HK, you would think that they'd have, I don't know, a line or something so that there's a systematic way to board the tram that takes you up to the peak, but no. It was the typical push and shove your way until you get near a door entrance method. Check out the madness.


And that was after we stood in a line that swooped around and around the entrance of the building. Once I got to the area where the tram was finally coming to bring us up the mountain, I was excited!


Once we got to the top, the view was/is breath taking. It really was worth the wait. Doesn't it look like I'm standing in front of a backdrop?



When you get to the top, not only is there a beautiful view, but there's also tons of shopping, restaurants, walking trails, bike trails and much more. It's like a little city up there. People in HK LOVE to shop and there was tons of that going on. I personally enjoyed the view the best and the little trails that were all around. It's a nice place to go when you want to get away from the city and just clear your head. I also heard it's a good mountain to hike but takes a couple of hours. Not sure I'm up for that challenge yet.

Me and Daniel!
