Stunning Views fromThe Victoria Peak, Hong Kong

For an unforgettable nightlight Hong Kong experience, we’ve decided to take a peak into one of Hong Kong’s popular tourist destinations – the stunning views from the Victoria.

Hong Kong Island

The Victoria Peak is located in Central Hong Kong. For you to be able to get to the Peak, you have to ride the Peak tram, one of Hong Kong’s oldest trains. Getting there you just have to remember that the Peak Tram lower terminus is just near St. John’s Cathedral, one of the most known landmarks in Hong Kong.

Lucky for us for the day that we’ve went to St John is a Sunday, which means we could attend a Sunday mass at the Cathedral. Another thing is that during that same Sunday is also the celebration of the feast of St John the Apostle.

At 2pm during Sundays they have a Filipino Mass. You’ll be surprised to see the church filled with fellow Filipinos. I guess it’s also a way for them to bond with one another on their day of rest. One will really able to feel the closeness and Filipino ties, makes me wonder why in foreign lands Filipinos are able to unite regardless of their differences, but here in our own native land, we’re always in disunity.

The Peak Tram

This is one unforgettable trip. There’s nothing in the world like the Peak Tram. Pulled by steel cables, the tram climbs 373 metres (about 1,200 feet). It’s so steep that the buildings you pass look like they’re leaning! Whether you’re going up or coming down, you’ll love this trip.

The Peak: Do I Have To Pay for The SKY TERRACE?

For 1st timers, this is recommended for the best view but YES there is a price to pay. For those on an extremely tight budget (like us), you can go to the roof of the Peak Galleria Mall for a free view (it’s just equally awesome!).

Be sure to visit Madame Tussauds Hong Kong after the Peak viewing experience. Open from 10am to 10pm daily you’ll surely be engrossed with an interactive entertainment experience!
