Wasting no time, we are ready for our tour in Hong Kong. I am ready to explore the view of Hong Kong and headed to The Peak and The Wax Museum which is simply a MUST to go. I cant wait to hugged my idols.. (*wink *wink)
Reaching and taking the MRT to the museum is simply awesome with the 20 minutes so journey. The journey with the train alike what we had while in Penang sliding up with the view of Hong Kong high scrappers at 45 degrees. Reaching there, weather comes colder and colder.
The place comes awesomely good with the scenic view with the beautiful Hong Kong city at the above. Nice! . It is a perfect place for photographer to capture the scenic icons of Hong Kong with all the eye-catching infrastructure.
