One of the tourist stop that we went was The Peak. There are a couple of options as to how you can head up to the peak of the mountain and one of it was to take the tram up. I’ve read a couple of horror stories about how crowded the tram was, but when we were there, we were all seated.
Before we finally reached The PeakWe bought a one-way ticket to take the tram upThe tram wasn’t crowded at allWe were treated to an amazing night viewMy travel companionsWe just had to do a hip hop poseThe last stop of the day was for desserts at Hui Liu ShanSupperFinally trained back to our apartment
