HOLYdays // Day 2 : Victoria Peak

Do you want to meet and take photos with your favorite celebrities ? The answer is, just visit Madame Tussauds, The Peak, Hong Kong. Do you want to see the most beautiful view in Hong Kong from the highest place ? The answer is, just visit Sky Terrace, The Peak, Hong Kong.
What is The Peak ? Why are Madame Tussauds and Sky Terrace in that place ? So lemme introduce.

The Peak is place which has lil shopping centre, restaurants, Madame Tussauds, and Sky Terrace on the peak in Hong Kong. Its like a mall, a complete mall. You'll arrive at here by vihicle like train, but they called it tram. Madame Tussauds is a place with a lot of famous celebrity and famous people's statues are in there. The statue and the real owner are so look alike, believe me. You should visit here if you come to HK, because it's like you don't go to beaches in Bali.


ABOUT THE PEAK :
  • To arrive at The Peak, you can go there by MTR first, the destination is Central then take the J2 exit. After that you can walk through Chater Garden to get to the Garden Road Peak Tram Terminus. You can go there by bus or taxi too but I've never gone there by them. I think walk by foot is good for healty lol.
  • Come here at 10 AM and leave The Peak at 9 PM. Actually they close at 10 PM, but the Peak Tram Terminus ( fanicular railway, the only way to get in to The Peak ) is soooo crowded and the queue is so long, I've waited to get in the Peak Tram for 30 minutes.
  • Wear your thickest clothes. It was so damn cold in the Sky Terrace, wth. Because Sky Terrace is the highest place in Hong Kong, so the temperature was 7-10 `C. And I didn't know about that, and stupidly I wore shorts when I was in there, and seriously I was frozen to the max =_=
  • If you want to visit The Peak + Madame Tussauds + Sky Terrace in 1, just buy the 3-in-1 combo ticket, the price is HK $320. Stupidly ( again ) I bought 1 by 1 ticket. I bought ticket to get in The Peak, and then I bought Madame Tussauds' ticket, and Sky Terrace's ticket, and I spent HK $500 for all. If only I know there was a combo ticket, I could save the money for buy some souvenirs for my besties.
  • Visit Sky Terrace at 7.30 PM - 8.30 PM. I came to Sky Terrace at 6.30 PM and there were nothing beautiful, because the sky was not too dark, and there was fogging, hell ya. But then at 7-8 PM, you'll see the most beautiful night view in Hong Kong, you'll see how awesome is the city in the evening. Anyways, they'll give you headset and something like iPod to tell you about Hong Kong view but it was useless because you'll not use them.
  • You'r not allowed to take photo with Jackie Chan statue by your own cameras. But don't worry, someone from Madame Tussaud'll take it and if you want to get the photo, but you should pay HK $100 for it. They'll take 3 photos and give you a code, and after you finish your trip in Madame Tussauds, give your code to the counter and you can choose you best photo and then they'll print it for you ( 23 x 15 cm + photo frame ).

Actually I don't know all of the celebrities in the Madame Tussauds Hong Kong because I don't like Hong Kong and Chinese's celebrities at all. But they give the information and little profile about the celebrities and let us know the celebrities' names. Madame Tussauds are in Hong Kong, Bangkok, ShangHai, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Hollywood, Washington DC and many more. Maybe if only Madame Tussauds was in Korea, I would know all of the celebrities hehehee. But I was so happy because there were hollywood celebrities too in Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, not only Asian. 

Welcome to Madam Tussauds Hong Kong
Korean must be proud, Bae Yong Jun statue is the only one Korean statue in Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, and they're really look alike ! I was so excited to take photos with him because he is one of my favorite korean actors, and he's my mom's forever love, lol. Ps. I think the statue's eyes looks too squinty, or do you think so ?
You can see how to make these statues by the pictures. 
I was so dissapointed because i couldn't take photo with Obama. If you wanna take photo with him, you should pay HK $100 and they'll print it like the Jackie Chan's. The Chinese president is too. 
This is the other of my dissapointed. Can't Bangkok make Marilyn's statue by themself ??


There're movies characters in here too, like Sun Go Kong, Bai Su Zhen, Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, Wolverine, even there are Doraemon and Hello Kitty too !


IMPORTANT
Don't leave Madame Tussauds too fast, beacause before the exit door there is a machine like ATM and someone'll be there beside the machine. When you look at her/him, she/he will come to you and will ask you some questions like : Who is your favorite statue ? Which one is the best and worst statue ? Who is the most likely statue ? Are you satisfied of our service ? Who celeberities do you want to be here ? ( I answered the best statue is Albert Einstein, the worst statue is no one, and I want BIGBANG to be here, lol ) and many more. If you answer them patienly, you'll get free souvenir from Madame Tussauds like this. Honestly I was so boring when they were asking me a lot of many questions because I wanted to go to Sky Terrace asap, but in the end I was so happy because I got this free souvenir from them, hehehehe.

Move to Sky Terrace. Do you know Namsam Tower in Seoul, South Korean ? It has something like this but they write their name and their couple on a padlock. And in Sky Terrace, The Peak, Hong Kong, you can write your love letter or your wish and it was so romantic ! Write your letter and hang it to the The Peak I Love You counter. ( Anyways I hope my letter is still hanging because at the Sky Terrace was windy when I was here T.T )

You can see the different of these photos. The first photo taken by me at 6 PM and it was still fogging, and the next photo taken by me at 7 PM, when the sky was clearly dark. So do you wanna be here ? Visit The Peak !
