 I had a hard time reading those words
This one not bad, very creamy
The milk pudding claimed as their popular dish

On the mini boat cruising along the snoopyland river
Just a relaxing trip down here to see what's installed
Not a bad place to take a breather

Victoria Peak 山頂
Online website to purchase tickets

How to get there

On Foot - From MTR Central Station
It’s a pleasant walk from Central to the Peak Tram Lower Terminus. Along the route, there are a few famous Hong Kong landmarks.


From MTR Central station, exit J2 and walk up to the ground level. Turn right, through Chater Garden, cross Queen's Road Central, and make your way up Garden Road. You will pass the Bank of China Tower and Citibank Plaza on your left and St John's Cathedral on your right.

Best option: The Peak  Tram ride to Victoria Peak then public bus on the way down
Walk to The Peak Tram lower terminus (15 to 25 minutes). From Lippo Centre Tower (near Admiralty station Exit B), walk over pedestrian crossing to other side of Queensway Street (towards Hong Kong High Court).
Walk along Queensway street to the direction on your left (towards Bank of China Tower)
Follow Cotton Tree Drive, taking the gentle turn right.
Across the street from Hong Kong Squash Center. On your left, is the The Peak  Tram lower terminus
Ride the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak – HK$53 (one-way) with Sky Terrace 428 admission. View latest rates on The Peak Tram website.
Cheapskate option: Public bus
Walk to Queensway Street and wait at bus stop directly in front of Admiralty Garden and near the Lippo Center.
Ride CityBus bus #15 to Victoria Peak – HK$10.6
The look of it from the outside
The tram tickets
It was so steep that you can't be standing n ride the tram
Everyone will have to be seated down and enjoy the ride
Finally we reached the Peak overlooking Hong Kong city
It was dinner time therefore we had to mam a bit first

We had our dinner at the peak
So-called famous Wan Than Mee
by the Mak's also can be found at Westgate, Singapore
The soup version Wan Than Mee
And below is the dry version Wan Than Mee
Both not impressive
Still prefer our local taste
Sunset at Victoria Peak
There we many visitors when we arrived
They jammed the place and we hardly take any picture
And so we climbed up and take the pic from top section instead

After half hour waiting for the tram to get down, we walked to the MTR
And proceeded to Temple Street and Ladies Street for supper
Wiping sweats and waving goodbye to a good night view
