Early morning, we were ferried to take the tram to Victoria Peak. It was our second time taking the tram to Victoria Peak, but this time round we witnessed the Hong Kong cityscape during daytime instead of night-time in our
previous visit. The view was simply breathtaking! It was a different kind of awe witnessing such a picturesque scenery in daytime compared to night-time. It was definitely worth going up to the peak at different times of the day to see views of such contrast, yet at the same time having such wow factors. The air up there was really fresh, so much so that there were plenty of beautiful butterflies feasting on the sweet nectar of the flowers in the area.
Huge crowd waiting for the tram.
Momo Dear takes a picture with the beautiful cityscape of Hong Kong.
And Momorange takes another.
Magnificent view from Victoria Peak.
See more buildings from this angle.
The beautiful sky complements the harbour and skyscrapers for a magnificent backdrop.
Just love the composition of this view.
Even butterflies love the height here at Victoria Peak.
The very prominent Peak Tower at Victoria Peak.
There was a Mr. Men and Little Miss display in the mall at the Peak. Of course it would be great fun for Momorange to take some pictures with these happy characters.
Which is the real Mr. Happy?
Two Little Miss Sunshines.
The real Mr. Happy!
The real Little Miss Sunshine!

Our coach descended down the winding slopes of Victoria Peak and brought us to a restaurant famous for its roasted goose. You can hardly have nice roasted goose in Singapore, so this was a really great chance to enjoy some nice roasted goose from the master chefs in Hong Kong. The goose was succulent and smelled just heavenly. The other dishes in the menu prepared for us were really good as well. Good choice of restaurant.
