That time I went to the Peak from late afternoon to night, did the circular walk around 4pm, early dinner at 6pm, then Madame Tussauds, after that watch the night scenery before heading back.

Regarding the direction, what you found means to say that -
- the Peak tram is at the Lower Peak Tram terminus on Garden Road
- to reach the lower peak tram terminus, take bus 15C from outside Star Ferry Pier in Central, or
- WALK from MTR Central Station, Exit J2

Please check the HK map(Google map is good enough) for the walking direction, it's about 10mins walk.

Nothing for me to declare, so it's always Green Lane for me...

I thought I stayed quite long time there, taking pictures with lots of wax figure, take pictures for my parents too.  But when I checked back the time on pictures (from the 1st to the last pics there), really was 1 hour nia..  Maybe that I went that time was during dinner time - no crowd.

what is the operation time??

1. check the website. its stated there.
2. Octopus HKD150, comes with preloaded HKD100. Cant answer u coz we dunno where u going to.

#Would suggest to take the tourist pass from MTR Which is around HKD200+++ which gives u 1 way free transit using the airport line + 3days unlimited usage for MTR line.

This one got 2 ways airport line transit but more expensive. So u ownself go and check it out.
*
ok, i think the octopus with preloaded HKD100 is enough for me
first day going to disneyland, 2nd day going to ocean park
then night go to madame tussaud wax
3rd day walking around and shopping and back

if u plan to buy the tourist pass or the airport express, u can purchase on9 using HSBC card. got 40% discount.. if u travel alot on mtr, purchase tourist pass is worth it cz it gt unlimited 3 days pass. beside that if u purchase their tourist day pass or airport express, u can save 33% on disneyland, madame tussauds n sky100 observation deck.

or

u can purchase madame tussaud ticket thn take the ticket stub to ocean park for additional 10% discount on ticket entrance.

or

u can purchase 2 in 1 Combo Package (Peak Tram + Admission Ticket)

n etc..

i plan n survey alot.. lolz.. cz i'm goin end of tis mth tongue.gif

do some calculations on tat.. actually u can save.. bt it depends on personal preferences. those who have no budget limit on their trip nt necessary to plan on tis tho smile.gif
*
if i purchase on9, means got to purchase disneyland, madame tussauds all togother on hsbc website??
the tourist pass only one way free of airport express?? means taking MTR?

is the place safe to stay? gonna go there again, alone this time.

the location is convenient
but when u wan to get in yr hotel
it is adventurous as there are many nigerians, indians, pakistani, siamese and many other foreigners hanging around
personal belonging should be handle with high alert
u have to queue for the lift, the lift is small and only can pack 5-6 person
but once you reach the hostel. things are quite different as it still provide you a clean and quiet environment
