Admire the panoramic views from the Peak

 

To me, the Peak absolutely deserves its must-visit status for travellers. Perched atop of Hong Kong Island, it’s perfect for photographing the spectacular and panoramic view of the entire city. You can reach it via the Peak Tram. Or you can even walk up the path alongside the tram track which takes less time than you might think. There are nice restaurants there and points of interests such as the Madame Tussauds.

Hotel Industry Career :19  

About Me  :

I joined the hotel industry by chance. I started at the Novotel Hotel, working as a bell attendant and a receptionist, staying there for six years. The hotel was then sold and rebranded as Traders Hotel and then Hotel Jen under the Shangri-la Group. I went on to work at both the Lan Kwai Fong Hotel @ Kau U Fong and the Hotel LKF before moving to the Pottinger Hong Kong as Assistant Front Office Manager and Chief Concierge, initially as part of the pre-opening operation.

 

Favourite Hong Kong activity :

 

I like to travel and try out different local food. In Hong Kong, I would rent a boat and go fishing with friends. It is the perfect activity to help calm your mind and let go of life’s stresses.

 

What I love about Hong Kong :

As an international city, Hong Kong is so convenient; you can do so many different activities easily in one day. In less than 30 minutes from town you can be on a beach!

 

Bonus Recommendation  :
Tai O Village in Lantau Island is another interesting and enchanting place to visit. You can check out the stilted houses over the water, still occupied by villagers; maybe go on a boat ride and see if you can spot the pink dolphins; and buy some local food products like shrimp paste for souvenirs.

 

Hong Kong Favourite 
Hiking is very popular in Hong Kong. A good option is the beautiful Dragon’s Back trail. You can end your hike at Shek O where a good beach and several nice restaurants await.
