Journey up to The Peak, Central

At around 4.30pm I've decided I have rested enough and then proceeded back to the MTR station and headed for Central station, at Hong Kong island to visit the final place I had in mine - The Peak! For Prince Edward it was a relatively straight forward journey to Central station which cost HKD11.50.





Central is probably the equivalent of the surrounding area nearby KLCC. As one of the longest MTR station in Hong Kong, many top business companies have their buildings built surrounding this station. There are many exits from this station and the distance from one end to another end of the station is relatively long. It's no wonder I hardly see any obese people in Hong Kong. So much walking to do!


And finally, I found a decent public toilet that is clean! It was located in the park right outside the exit of the MTR. On another note the park itself is really quite a nice place to hang out, especially in this cool pre-winter weather. Great avenue for those working in the highly stressed environments of Hong Kong.






From the MTR station to the Peak tram station, its a good 10-15 minute uphill climb. Signboards are, as usual, placed strategically along the roads for the convenience of tourist.
