Victoria Peak - Madame Tussauds

Hey guys! Welcome back to my throwback Hong Kong Blog! Today I am going to share to you guys my journey after the Avenue of the Stars and until the end of day 2. As you guys all know I will not post any specific things since my trip to Hong Kong was on May 2014. So let's just get started! (I feel like this is the worst introduction I have ever done).

HONG KONG

Day 1 was basically about me settling down in Hong Kong and a bit of adventure around my hotel. If you guys forgot my hotel was Holiday Inn Golden Mille, which was a very cool place. Off to day 2 which started with us walking around the city to go to Avenue of the Stars. This place was really close to our hotel, about 15 minutes walk (because we are Indonesians LOL).

That day was so hot like I could feel the sun on my skin. Not literally but it felt like that and I could instantly feel that I got tanner. As I said  before I regret wearing a black t-shirt on that morning. After that we went back to have lunch at this really cool Chinese restaurant (I forgot the name because I suck at remembering names and I was to dumb to write it down LOL) and then we head back to our hotel and rest.

(The MRT station was literally like Singapore's)

That evening we head out our hotel to go to Victoria Peak, the last time we went there was the morning so this time we wanted to see it at night. We went to the nearest MRT station at 3 and bought the tickets to Central (I think, I do not remember it LOL). It was very easy to go around Hong Kong and especially the MRT system is very easy to be studied and as I have said many times before it is exactly like Singapore's.

The trip was about 15 minutes more or less, which was of course very fast. From the Central Station we took a cab to go straight to the Victoria Peak. WARNING! Taxi drivers in Hong Kong are awesome! It felt like riding a roller coaster but uphill with cliffs surrounding me. It took me like another 15 minutes to get to the actual peak.

We arrived there at 4.30 pm (approximately) and as soon as we're there we immediately take pictures! (because we're tourist and because we can LOL). As the sky got darker we went to eat pasta at one the mall/building in front of the Victoria Peak building. As always I didn't take note of the place, but the pasta was really good.

As touristy as we are (I don't even know if the word touristy exist) we visited the all time favorite Madame Tussauds, which (for those who doesn't know) is a wax museum that showcases to artists from allover the world. The Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong focuses more on the Asian and Chinese stars, besides stars Madame Tussauds also have political characters and important people in the world.

Madame Tussauds is a very big place to explore so I highly recommend you guys to go to the toilet before you enter the museum, because all I remember was there wasn't any toilet inside. The Madame Tussauds ticket was a bit pricey for a museum but it is a tourist attraction so the price is worth the fun and excitement (you guys can also take pictures as much as you want!). The price of the ticket was HK$ 250.
