HK/Macau 2011 - Getting to The Peak

We rounded off our Hong Kong tour at The Peak, by riding the Peak Tram from the Lower Terminus located just a stone's throw from the MTR in Central. As taking the tram remains the quickest and most scenic way to arrive at The Peak, we were so enthusiastic and hardly upset by the long waiting queue. To date, The Peak Tram is arguably the most enduring emblem of Hong Kong history.
