Hong Kong - The Peak

Another tourist attraction that I decided to see in Hong Kong, is The Peak. Basically you go to the tram stop at the bottom of the hill, buy a return ticket, wait in line and then ride the tram up the hill.

I arrived just after it opened, where the queue was about this long. It was a much better time to arrive than when I left, where the queues were huge. Life's too short to queue :-)

It's expensive to enjoy yourself in the tram.

But you can always enjoy the heady view.

Then when you reach the top, you enter the bottom of this building. At that point, if you've paid the premium fee you can go out onto the roof and get a better view.

Greenery at a confusing angle.

The city with a nice natural healthy haze.

A path through the bush. This looked quite appealing. Next time I am going to go up the hill, clog my arteries with one of the many junk foods sold there.. and then go for a nice healthy walk.

A view of the tram tracks up the hill, where I arrived from.

The other side of the hill.

The plaza at the top of the hill, and the mall on the other side of it.

The help center is an old tram.

Not sure if the wording was wrong, or my English is not to good. But something about this seemed Engrish-like.

Some runners came down the track over the hill. Wish I could be doing that myself, but the health wasn't too good.

This path goes back down the way I came. I walked down it for half an hour until I realised it didn't go down, but round the hill. So I walked back up..

.. and took the tram down. Oh well.

Worth it? No idea. Beats sitting in a hotel room :-)
