their conventional exit gate!!as we were holding on to the tourist 1 day pass, we can have unlimited times of rides on the mtr... n since we were carrying too heavy a things.. we decided to head back to the hotel n leave our shopping bags, have a short wash up, then take the train to Hongkong Island - Central, and proceed to our next destination.. - The Peak.. although be fore we came, we had alr reseacrched on the means of reaching to the tram station... we still gotta ask for some direction.. haha.. managed to get onto the 15C bus @ $3.20 to the tram station.. but yuan lai... it was juz a short distance away.. no wonder so cheap..!!
omg... upon reaching the tram station.. haha. the queue was hell long lor... but if we were going to get the 'package' tickets of Tram+Madame Tussauds,, then we can have priority entry.. haha.. so since we were going to the wax museum, of cos we opted to purchase the package,.. at $130.. discounted price.. otherwise $148..
journey up the tram was........ erm... initially scary... cos it was really steep.. but after a while, realised that it was actually quite stable.. but ear got block at times.... but believe me.. the view on the way up the peak was breathtaking.. goodness... the whole of hongkong island n kowloon island was juz under ur feet... spectacular view it was... reaching on top of the peak was awesome too... looking way beyond... cool landscape.... i wondered how the tram was built... on such steep hill...
entry into Madame Tussauds was greeted by the famous Pierce Brosnan - 007 Bond King, Kelly Chen, n remarkably Jackie Chan... after that was a hall occupied by some american stars(whom i have no idea who they were except for a few), michelle yeoh, jay chou, leo gu, janice wai lan, ayumi hamasaki n cecilia cheung...
down the stairs were more stars... this time, the world's famous pple, leslie cheung, princess diana, lee kuan yew, mdm tussaud herself, mao ze dong, hitler, bush etc.. many more ahead.. then.. deeper into the gallery, was the only wax figurine which has an embedded heart beat.. Andy Lau.... then omg, my Leon.. haha... hugs n kisses were everywhere.. haha... the whole waxy journey ended at ard 7 plus.. slightly before 8.. so we can proceed to the viewing gallery to watch the night lights... at the top, it was humid n warm... crowded too.. all the tourist crowding round to watch the Symphony of Lights from above the peak..(we saw it on ground on day 1) now we are seeing it from the top.. the view, like i say, was totally different... simply remarkable.... too bad, our camera all standard not good to take a nice pic down...
terrible effect...walk ard a while the proceeded back down... (no point staying up there since we saw the lights le) then walked ard at the The Peak Gallery, then got to the queue for the tram downhill... downhll oso a bit scary.. cos it goes down backward... meaning ur back is facing downhill.. but i think better cos not that pressured.. hehe...
reached downhill, we walked to pacific plaza.. then to the train station then back to prince edward... we had dinner at Da Jia Le... food was nice.. cheap n big portion.. haha.. but my steak not as nice as expected... cos too uncook... haha... after dinner, continued to walk ard the same place... fa yuen street... went to G2000 n got shirts for my brother in law... cheap lor... than in singapore... hehe... then walked the sports street.... whole street selling sports wear... same things.. price cheap but i bu she de buy.. haha...
my dinner with a complimentary banana split
