Line up to get on
the free bus to the peak tram lower
station. This bus is outside the
star ferry, next to the city hall. |
| |
|
 |
Ride the tram to
the top, actually the peak tram is a
funicular not actually a tram. |
| |
|
 |
The tram takes
you to the Peak Tower -- currently the
shops inside are closed for renovation
but across the path ... |
| |
|
 |
...is another
shopping mall with all the facilities
you'll need. |
| |
|
 |
This historic
building can be seen as you leave, it's
the original tramways office |
| |
|
 |
Another view of
this historic peak tramways building |
| |
|
 |
Equally historic
is the peak cafe, in a building which
was once the resting shed for sedan
chair bearers from the days before the
peak tram. |
| |
|
 |
Going to the Peak
Tower viewing platform to see... |
| |
|
 |
.. the view of
Victoria Harbour is of course what most
visitors want to do. |
| |
|
 |
But there are
also quiet shaded country paths which
you can visit. |
| |
|
 |
It's worth doing
some more exploring to walk up the hills
and find some of the good lookout
places; most of which tourists never
find so can be quiet deserted.
Allow several hours though and get a
good map! |
