Then we queue up and waited for the tram and there is no need to purchase a ticket as you can use your Octopus Card to enter and board the Peak Tram up to The Peak.

Finally we arrived on top of The Peak, and view of the HK Skyline was amazing.

After walking around and enjoying on top of The Peak, we decided to try out their Public Light Bus down.

Then we went to a very traditional cha chaan teng, Kum Fung Cafe at Wan Chai for a light lunch, to try out the Chicken Pie, Pineapple Bun with Butter, Cold Mixed Coffee and Milk Tea and Egg Tart.

Lastly, we had our very late and filling dinner at Central, near the Mid-Valley Escalators called Ser Wong Fun Restaurant to have their Snake Meat Soup (which claims to heat up the body, which really does) and their Duck’s Liver and Lamb Claypot Rice, and we went back to the hotel to rest for the night. [Note: there is also a very good dessert shop beside this restaurant.]
