Discover City Life in Hong Kong Trip - The Peak Tower, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and Sky Terrace 428 (Day 4, 08 Sep - 14 Sep 2012)

In the evening, we headed to 山顶凌霄阁 The Peak Tower after visited Ocean Park. On the way of walking from MTR Central station to The Peak Tower, you will pass by some famous landmarks such as 中国银行大厦 Bank of China Tower, 长江集团中心 Cheung Kong Center, 圣约翰座堂 St. John's Cathedral, 圣约翰大厦 St. John's Building. Click here for more information on how to get to The Peak.

After we reached the ticket counter of 山顶缆车 The Peak Tram, we spent quite some time to queue up in order to get into the tram car. After about half an hour, finally reached our turn to ride on The Peak Tram. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes per journey. It was really an amazing experience to ride on the tram car because the tram car track gradient is from 2 degrees up to 27 degrees. So you can imagine how astonishing is the old style tram car that it can climb up a slope hill while having a breathtaking view on the outside from the tram car's window.

Once we reached The Peak Tower, there were some souvenir shops that selling many variety of souvenirs to visitors. Of course, I took the opportunity to get a post card there. Based on my research, there is a post office in The Peak Tower, therefore I can take the chance to sent post card back to my home :)

After that, we headed to 杜莎夫人蜡像馆 Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. In this wax museum, you will see many famous wax figures of celebrities - Pop Stars, Asian Stars, Kung Fu Stars, Hollywood Stars, Sports Stars, Royalty, World Leaders, Cultural Figures, Characters. We spent around 1 and a half hour here and felt quite satisfied as we took photos with almost all the wax figures there :)

After we happily done with photo shooting in 杜莎夫人蜡像馆 Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, we headed to 山顶凌霄阁摩天台 Sky Terrace 428. Coincidentally, we reached there at 8 pm, therefore we had the chance to view the Symphony of Light again!! :) But this time we were viewing on top of the hill.

The last stop in The Peak Tower was the The Peak Tower Post Office. I quickly wrote my post card and purchased stamps from stamp vending machine then sent back to my home :)

Lastly, we queued up quite some time again to take the tram car and back to Wong Kok to have our dinner at 云吞成面食 restaurant and I ate 炸酱面 noodle for my dinner. We went back again to this restaurant, because during that time every bowl of noodle was selling at HKD 13 and we were lazy to find other restaurant for our dinner due to we were too exhausted at end of the day.

I wanted to try out the dessert in Hong Kong, therefore, after we ate dinner and rested a while in the hostel, we went to 许留山 Hui Lau Shan dessert shop to eat dessert. I've ordered their famous mango dessert, the mango was really sweet, yummy!!
