There are two things that one must do when in Hong Kong. One is a very cheap way to soak in the true Hong Kong skyline. Simply spend a dollar or two by taking the Star Ferry from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island or the other way round.
This ferry has been in operation for many years. Before the MTR was in place to transport the crowd, this was the way for commuter to travel between the two lands. Here's the ferry we boarded that day, Twinkling Star.
Here's a photo of Puffyrazzi, looking back at Kowloon going towards Hong Kong. These days, most people who take the boat are tourists. Most of the seats were actually taken up by camera-holding Caucasians.
The other must-do is to take the Peak Tram up to Victoria's Peak. The tram retains its famous red colour and it is recommended that one sits on the right of the tram during the trip up for better view.
The ride takes about 10 minutes up to the peak and the passengers have to endure a 45 deg angle at scaling the peak.
One is recommended to get onto Victoria's Peak at night. Several of our HK friends actually said we should go up ONLY at night, or it won't be worth it. Boy, it was dazzling, to say the least. We stood at the Sky Terrace for almost an hour, staring at the hypnotizing lights.
