Use Star Ferry to go to Hong Kong Island from Kowloon TST. as a tourist
it is unfortunate if you don't ride the Star Ferry, because for 20 minutes you
will be treated to a very beautiful view of 2 islands in HK. Especially we can
see the sights of Hong Kong Island with its extraordinary skyscrapers. There are also other ways that are more practical and a little more
expensive, from Kowloon to go to Hong Kong Island, using Subway / MTR. The Tsim Sha Tsui Terminal is a Star Ferry berth, and we will arrive at
the Central pier. You can see the Central Station building, a very large
building which is the meeting point of 3 MTR lines, IFC malls and office
buildings. Just walk to get there. IFC Mall is the first Apple Store in HK. There is Thim Ho Wan, a very
tasty restaurant dim sum.
By riding the MTR from Central to Causeway Bay Station, we can go
straight to SOGO dapartement Store, the famous Shopping area above Causeway Bay
station. Like the Shopping district, because behind it is full of fashion,
cosmetics and jawerly shops besides SOGO which is the Landmark. There is
also a new shopping center located opposite SOGO, named Hysan Place with the
Apple Store on the ground floor. For those who like shopping, of course Shopping Causeway Bay area is
very suitable for exploring all day.
The park is very spacious, and is an oasis in the middle of the city,
the view of the park is so beautiful, because of the green garden, combined
with views of the skyscrapers that surround this park. Located on the east
side, Victoria Park is perfect for relaxing weekends. Unuk towards Victoria Park, we can take the Tram, cheap transportation
that surrounds Hong Kong Island, and is the oldest mode of transportation in
HK. With this transportation, you can stop or just look at other central areas,
such as northpoint and admiralty. Near or far away, the ticket price remains
the same.
To reach Victoria Peak, you can use the ” Peak Tram”, which is a
special Tram that runs on the path up to 50 degrees slope. It takes a long time
to be able to climb this Tram, which is approximately 1 hour just to queue the
ticket because there are so many people waiting in line. So for those of you
who are less time or not strong enough to queue, you should use a taxi or
number 15 bus (from the 5 Ferry Pear central) to go to Victoria Peak. But you
can also order tickets online to ride the Victoria Tram, so you can save time
instead of waiting in line. Travel using the Peak Tram to get to Victoria Peak takes approximately
10 minutes. Climbing at 40km / h, Peak Tram transports dozens of passengers on
each Tram. And after reaching the top, we will see The Peak Tower, a unique
station shaped like a cup.
The Peak |
The Peak is most popular destination in Hong Kong. The view from The Peak will be amazing. Because we can clearly see how extraordinary Hong Kong is with towering buildings. Hong Kong has a nickname as "Pearl of the East", because if at night, it will be very beautiful with the flickering lights of the building that looks beautiful and modern. The 360 degrees View of Hong Kong city will be amazing.
