The Peak

Before leaving for Guangzhou, Carl, Ronald and I decided to head up to The Peak. It is Hong Kong’s number one tourist attraction and we found out why pretty quickly. After taking a ten minute tram straight up a mountain, you are perched atop all of Hong Kong. With stunning views of the harbor, downtown, Kowloon, the Peak is a photographers dream. Luckily we had a pro with us and Ronald was able to capture some great photos. There was a man selling a souvenir photo of the Peak from the vantage point of what Hong Kong looked like back in 1952 to what is looks like today. What a stark contrast. There wasn’t one large building back then and now, there are skyscrapers as far as the eye can see. Of course no tourist attraction would be the same with a Starbucks , Burger King, Sunglass Hut and many other chains thousands of feet above sea level.
