Hong Kong's the largest distinguished landmark, Victoria
Peak, has over 3 million visitors a year, equal to almost half the inhabitants
of Hong Kong. During the first six years of Hong Kong's history, hardly anyone
traveled to those uncongenial heights. It wasn't until 1888, once the peak
Tramway was opened, that the realm atop the Hill became the peak, one of the most
sought-after places to determine in Hong Kong. Before the tram, sedan chairs
transported lucky colonials to the highest. Such coolie-powered transportation
died in the past, however palanquins are still used during contributions races
once a year.
The unfeasibly steep peak Tram, which takes local residents
up and down the hillside, is more than just a traveler attraction. The tram
runs from 7am to midnight, and hasn't had single accident since it began
operational in 1888. It still only has 2 cars, every carrying seventy two passengers
and one driver, and is pulled up and lowered by 5,000 feet of steel cables
wound on drums.
For nature lovers, the peak is that the best place for a
walk. On a transparent day, you'll wander through forests of bamboo and germ,
stunted, Chinese pines, hibiscus and vines of marvelous and writhing beauty. The
most effective way to see the peak is by walking around Laggard Road, which
begins simply opposite the peak Tram's higher terminus at one, 300 feet higher
than sea level.Since most of my destinations are in the Hong Kong Island, I
probability should stay in a place in the vicinity. I choose to stay in a Hong
Kong rather than in a hotel since i will be staying for a long time and staying
in a hotel would be very expensive. So staying in my own Hong Kong would be
ideal. I just hope I can find a nice one with a read of the Victoria Harbor.
