Victoria Peak Hong Kong Attractions
- See Hong Kong city from the Peak Tower.
- Get the shot of ‘popular photo from the peak’ at the Sky Terrace. We bought the package with the ticket. So: tram + access to sky terrace is HKD 83 per adult. while if you only buy the tram ticket (return) is about HKD 40 per adult. I tell you, IT’S SO WINDY & COOL UP THERE! Prepare your jacket.
- The famous Madame Tussauds, ticket price is HKD 200 or 300+ something when you buy on the spot, but online is definitely cheaper (around HKD 150) ! And they have some bundling with other attraction, such as Hong Kong Observation Wheel (click to read our review about it). Unfortunately, we missed the online ticket chance. But we don’t think Lala will like it either; She will freak out to see those ‘people’ but cannot move, LOL!Madame Tussauds Hong Kong
