The Peak

Take the subway to Central Station and exit from Exit J2, follow the signs and you will reach the place to take the cable car💗It's more like a train inclined at 45 degrees than a cable car🛶. I bought a round-trip + observation deck ticket. The observation deck is not big but the view is very goodThe weather in Hong Kong in January is too comfortable, not cold or hot, and it's not cold on the observation deck. And whose mansion is P6? ? This is too extravagant⛳ Finally, not far from Lan Kwai Fong, it is also near Central Station, you can walk from the cable car station, and you will arrive in more than ten minutes, but why is Lan Kwai Fong different from what I imagined🎗I remember it wasn't like this in the movies before, they were all small bars, where is the place to party? ?

Victoria Peak, known simply as The Peak, is a must-see Hong Kong destination. Day or night, with or without a drone, travelers can capture a fantastic birds-eye view of the entire skyscraper-flanked Victoria Harbour. As the tallest hill on Hong Kong Island, with an elevation of 550 m, The Peak contains scenery of both incredible city skylines and natural forests and plants. Vistors can take an easy bus from central or ride in a tram up the mountain. 📍The Peak, Hong Kong Be sure to follow my Instagram @cherstravels for more travel tips and recommendations! #beautifuldestinations #mytripvlog #hongkong #summervacation #passionpassport #china #2023travelwish #chinatravel #thepeak #vacation

Hong Kong is one of the busiest and the most developed metropolitan hubs in Asia in terms of trade, business, and tourism. It consists of the Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula, the New Territories, and 200 outlying islands. While these areas are connected by sprawling train and bus networks, it is important to be familiar with its geography. Hong Kong Island is where the Central area, the political and economic center, is located. Although intimidating at first, it harbors a number of affordable guesthouses and hostels. It is also home to many tourist attractions including the Victoria Peak. Kowloon is where you will find most museums, markets, and the Avenue of Stars. It also has the greatest concentration of cheap guesthouses. The New Territories, north of Kowloon, is dotted with wetland parks and temples. Lantau Island, one of the many outlying islands, takes pride in Ngong Ping (Giant Buddha and Po Lin Monastery) and Hong Kong Disneyland. Here are more bits of info you might want to know to prep for your trip. Language: Cantonese and English are the official languages. Almost 95% of the population speaks Cantonese. Almost everything a tourist would need has an English translation, so there isn’t that thick of a language barrier. Mandarin is also starting to flourish as more immigrants from the mainland pour in. Currency: Hong Kong dollar (HKD). HKD 100 is around PHP 665, USD 12.75, EUR 11.23, SGD 17.25 (as of February 2019). Money Exchange: You’ll find countless money changers around Hong Kong, concentrated in the areas of Tsim Sha Tsui (Chungking Mansions and Hankow Centre) and the Central district. ATMs are also aplenty, with HSBC being the most familiar. Modes of payment: Most establishments prefer cash payment, but many of them also accept credit card transactions. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

I took my child to Hong Kong over the weekend, mainly to meet friends. The Hong Kong I saw for the first time was somewhat different from what I had anticipated. We visited Tsim Sha Tsui, West Kowloon, Wan Chai, strolled around Victoria Harbour, Harbour City, and went up to the Peak. The streets of Hong Kong were not crowded, especially Victoria Harbour, where there were not many tourists under the night sky, and the breeze was very comfortable. It felt a bit like the Bund in Shanghai, but with far fewer people. Another impression from this trip to Hong Kong is that dining in restaurants is really expensive, with a simple dish costing over 100, and even fast food like beef rice and noodles costing around 80-90. Accommodation: After reading many posts online, we ended up staying at the Hong Kong Metropark Hotel Kowloon with our child. The environment was okay, at least the room we stayed in was relatively clean.

🎊To experience the authentic Hong Kong and its local flavor, these activities are a must‼️❗️ . 🌀①Go to the Peak to overlook Hong Kong and take pictures of the Victoria Harbour night view If you want to take photos of Hong Kong, more than half of the people would choose to go to the Peak, which is the best spot to capture Victoria Harbour There are various ways to get to the Peak, and for a more unique experience, you can take the century-old tram to the top. As the red vintage tram car slowly climbs up, the view becomes increasingly expansive, and the panoramic view of Victoria Harbour unfolds before you, which is truly breathtaking . 🌀②Ride the century-old Star Ferry⛴ across Victoria Harbour The old cross-harbour transport that has been serving Hong Kong for over a hundred years is also the cheapest mode of transportation in Hong Kong. There are two routes: Tsim Sha Tsui-Central and Tsim Sha Tsui-Wan Chai, with the Tsim Sha Tsui-Central route being more suitable for sightseeing. You can choose to sit on the second floor or by the window for a better view . 🌀③Take the tram🚎 and roam around Hong Kong The double-decker tram that circles the city area of Hong Kong is one of the oldest modes of transportation in Hong Kong, with a history of over a hundred years. Riding the tram, accompanied by the 'ding ding... ding ding...' of the tram bell, weaving through the streets of Hong Kong, you can savor the street scenes and experience the most distinctive local culture . 🌀④Stroll through the Central Market and taste the local Hong Kong flavor Central is like a miniature version of Hong Kong, with both urban prosperity and traditional markets. It's fashionable, exquisite, and full of life. Whether you're eating, taking photos, or enjoying the Hong Kong-style blockbuster scenes and movie locations, a City walk is not to be missed . 🌀⑤Find an authentic cha chaan teng🍮 and taste the Hong Kong food culture Hong Kong's cha chaan tengs, akin to a civilian, homestyle Western restaurant, have been washed and settled by Chinese and Western cultures over the years. Whether it's Hong Kong-style milk tea, lemon tea, French toast, or pineapple bun, it's not just about the food itself; it's about experiencing the local culture of Hong Kong . 🌀⑥Visit Temple Street to find movie locations and experience life in Hong Kong dramas For those who love Hong Kong dramas, Temple Street holds many memories. With the flickering neon lights, street vendors, and the many affordable items sold at the night market... Through the screen, you can immerse yourself and become the protagonist of your own movie . 🍄🍄With so many places to visit, don't worry about how to enjoy them, the itinerary is also arranged for you 🎈Day1: Arrive in Hong Kong, free to go to Hong Kong's gourmet street for check-in 🎈Day2: West Kowloon Art Park-Hong Kong Palace Museum-Tram Roaming Hong Kong Island-Central Legislative Council-The Peak-Golden Bauhinia Square-Star Ferry-Avenue of Stars-Victoria Harbour Night View 🎈Day3: Free activities in Hong Kong all day, or you can go to Disneyland or Ocean Park .

A trip to Victoria Peak is a must for visitors to Hong Kong. Many ride up the Peak Tram and enjoy the view from there but don't know there's much more to see. A circle route takes you all the way around the Peak, giving a view in every direction. Parts of the trail go through well established forest and it feels more like being in the jungle than in the middle of a densely populated city. It's definitely one of the best places to see the skylines of Central and Kowloon, separated by Victoria Harbour. The circle takes about an hour at a reasonable walking pace. To get there, take the Peak Tram or climb up one of several trails from Central. There are also buses available. #leaveyourmark #lightthecity #urbanexplorer #hongkong #victoriapeak #views #skyline #cityscape

The standard way to reach the top of Tai Ping Shan is to take the newly reopened cable car from Admiralty to the peak, but during holidays, there is often a long queue, so most tourists and locals choose to take the No. 15 double-decker bus from Central or Admiralty to the peak. If you sit on the upper deck, you can enjoy the scenery along the way. The most amazing thing is the driver's driving skills, as the road is winding and narrow, and traffic is two-way, but the speed is not too slow. We spent HKD 75 per person for the entrance ticket and arrived at the "Sky Terrace 428" on the top floor of the Peak Tower. This is the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful Victoria Harbour view. You can overlook the entire harbour day and night from the mountaintop, which will definitely shock your vision... Although I have been to the top of Tai Ping Shan many times, my friend recommended the circular walking path on the mountaintop. Not only is the road flat, but the scenery is also more beautiful. We walked and stopped for two hours, starting from Luji Road and walking to Xiali Road, and then back to the Tai Ping Shan Square. It is indeed a beautiful and gentle path, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong. I even regretted buying a ticket to the viewing platform of the Lingxiao Pavilion. If you have time, you must come and take a walk!

The May Day holiday is coming up soon! If I had to choose a representative spot to enjoy in Hong Kong, having visited Hong Kong many times, I always think it's Victoria Peak! You can set off early to avoid the peak hours, with fewer people around, the experience is even better, and you can also play on the mountain from morning till night~ · 🚃There are several ways to get to Victoria Peak: hiking, bus, or the Peak Tram And my top recommendation is to take the Peak Tram, which is near the J exit of the Central MTR station~ 📸Victoria Peak attractions: ❤Peak Tram The green vintage scenic tram has a history of over a hundred years It is one of the characteristic landscapes of Hong Kong The tram ride up the mountain takes about 8-10 minutes A 180-degree view of the entire Victoria Harbour surrounds us, and it's beautiful no matter where you snap a picture It takes us to overlook Hong Kong, as if traveling through a time tunnel If you want to take atmospheric, cinematic photos, I suggest taking the tram in the morning The less crowded carriages make it easier to capture the mood · ❤Sky Terrace 428 The tram's final stop is Sky Terrace 428! Sky Terrace 428 is a complex that includes dining, entertainment, and shops, and you won't lack anything even at the peak, with occasional promotions The branch of the famous dessert shop, Ji Xue, with its glutinous rice dumpling ceiling, is also here, and I was really excited when I saw it Don't miss the famous Madame Tussauds wax museum, where you can take photos with many 'stars' at once! ❤Sky Terrace 428 Sky Terrace is at an altitude of 428 meters, from where you can bird's-eye view the Victoria Harbour scenery Whether day or night, the view here can amaze visitors with the beauty of Hong Kong 💡Here's a little tip If you like city views, go to the east side viewing platform If you prefer island and rural views, go to the west side Everyone really should experience the Peak Tram at least once!

Traveling alone to Hong Kong Island is a great choice. You can start from North Point and walk along the waterfront promenade all the way to Sai Ying Pun. Such a city walk allows you to check in at Hong Kong's key famous spots, and it's all very exhilarating! Walking along the waterfront boardwalk, the route can follow North Point, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Central, Sai Wan, and Sai Ying Pun. 1. Accommodation budget: The hotel rooms in the Central area are smaller, but the location is excellent. Generally, a four-star hotel room is about 13 square meters, and the room rate is around 600 yuan, of course, this is the non-weekend price. The room rate for 3 days and 2 nights (including taxes) is about 1300 yuan. 2. Dining budget: There are many restaurants in Hong Kong with different grades, and the most cost-effective ones are the tea restaurants. They are popular even among locals for their affordable prices, good taste, and fresh ingredients. The average consumption per person in a tea restaurant on Hong Kong Island is about 100 Hong Kong dollars, which is roughly 92 yuan in RMB. The daily dining cost is about 276 yuan, so the dining budget for 3 days is 828 yuan. 3. Ticket budget: Many scenic spots in Hong Kong are free to enter, but there are also some worth spending money to visit, such as the Peak Tram Sky Pass + Peak Tram + Madame Tussauds combo ticket for 132 yuan, Hong Kong Ocean Park for 325 yuan, Hong Kong Disneyland for 530 yuan, and the Central Ferris Wheel for 19 yuan. The total ticket budget is 1006 yuan. 4. Transportation budget: The prices for buses and subways in Hong Kong are quite a bit more expensive than in mainland cities. The bus fare from Central to Hong Kong Ocean Park is 10 yuan, the subway (Tung Chung Line to Disneyland Line) to Disneyland is 30 yuan, the fare to the Shenzhen border crossing is 27 yuan, and to Hong Kong International Airport is 33 yuan. Therefore, the minimum public transportation cost in Hong Kong is 107 yuan, and I have reserved a transportation budget of 200 yuan. In summary, the total budget for 3 days and 2 nights in Hong Kong is 1300 yuan + 828 yuan + 1006 yuan + 200 yuan = 3334 yuan.

Attraction name: The Peak Location: Hong Kong island in Hong Kong, China. Getting there: Peak Tram from central or get Bus 15 from the bus station at IFC mall. The Peak offers the famous Hong Kong skyline view. From the top you can enjoy seeing the famous skyline and the famous Victoria harbour. I suggest you pivot 180 degrees and look at the view from the south side. You will see the sun setting there and you will enjoy views of Lamma, Stanley, Aberdeen and mountains from the south. Not many buildings but wonderful natural scenery too! #hongkongtrip #peak

According to Wikipedia statistics, Hong Kong has the most buildings over 100 meters in the world, with 1985 buildings, more than twice the second place New York with 830 buildings, and the third place Shenzhen with 570 buildings. The view from Victoria Peak is very impressive. On the weekend, go hiking in Hong Kong, take bus route 15 up to Mid-Levels, get off at any station and you can see the bustling high-rise buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour.
