My Hong Kong Trip Part 3 ( day 4 )

By this time, the weather at Hong Kong still wasn't on our side but if we had to wait for the weather to be ok, we'll be missing on a lot of great stuff to do. So as at wednesday ( day 4 ) of our trip, we decided to make the most of the evening by visiting the infamous Victoria Peak. At first we were still quite confused on how to get there, but thanks to the internet at the guide pamphlet, it was quite easy to go there. In fact, the bus stop was just around the corner. We took the double decker bus no 15 to reach to the peak.



It was kinda drizzling on our journey up there, but we could still enjoy the view from the bus. The buildings there seems like that they were made of Lego blocks stacks all together in a big green board. The building were all very close to each other and most of them were very very tall. At a certain point, they did look like domino blocks to me :) The road leading to the Peak was very winding, but being a Malaysian and had gone up to Genting and Cameron Highland, the journey was not that tough.



The bus ride took around 30 minutes plus the peak hour traffic. Once there, we could see the famous Peak building that i've seen on website, the building that look like a T shape. We quickly went in the building and rushed over to the Tramp. But i did wonder why do we need to go board the Tram since we were already at the peak of the Peak. True enough, after we boarded the tramp, eventually the tramp was going down to it's station. Looked like we were cheated, we were already at the very peak, and after we rode the tramp, it wasn't going up, it was going down. So we had to purchase another ticket to go back to the Peak. Once at the top again, we rushed over to Madame Tussauds, the place that was part of my master list in Hong Kong.



I've once visited it at London when i was a kid and i have loved it since then. With this trip, i was looking forward to it. I've read it in the internet saying that the Hong Kong madame tussauds does contain some local celebrities, but that's ok. We were greeted by Bruce Lee and also Jackie Chan at the main entrance. So for the rest of the story, i will let the pictures do the talking as a picture tells a thousand words :) Do you know who they are ?
