It's very easy
- Just keep going up - Wow
It's uphill all the way
Hill, stairs, hill, stairs
Don't do this in summer, everyone
Just pay 10,000 KRW and take the tram
(Hong Kong Lunch)
Hello
How far have you been in Hong Kong?
So today, I’ll walk you through
how to get to The Peak
from the MTR station
here in Central,
which is one of Hong Kong’s
- must-visit tourist spots - Right
Central Station is...
pretty big,
- so there are a ton of exits - I see
We're here now
Starting from J2
Actually from here,
you can take the bus or tram
or taxi, minibus as well
We’re walking up
this way and heading
all the way to The Peak
(Finding J2 Exit)
(Octopus card touch)
(Building forest)
It's one of Hong Kong's iconic buildings
This is the Bank of China building
It looks very unique
Actually, the famous way to get to the Peak
is taking the tram
or taking the bus
I've heard and tried it a lot
There are double-decker buses and single-decker buses
There are also minibuses
- and trams - And trams
But this is the first time walking like this
(Beginning of the hike)
Behind is IFC
and the court
It's very British style
Even the street name is Garden Road
Oh, I see
It seems British
It's very easy
- Just keep going up - Wow
But it's already uphill
If you just look at the mountain..
You can reach The Peak just by going up
If you go up for about 5 minutes,
this is where you take the Peak Tram
So there are really a lot of tourists
If it's to the left in front of there,
it's the entrance to the Peak Tram
And actually..
for a round-trip activity,
- it's not expensive at all - Yes, that's right
The Peak Tram is round-trip, about..
(About 17,300 KRW) It seems like it's less than 100 dollars
- Isn't the price reasonable? - Yes
Everyone,
it's actually a bit tough
It's constantly uphill, really
Hill, stairs,
hill, stairs,
there's no flat ground at all, really
Wow, it's really tough right now
I'm already...
(Exhausted)
But the good thing today is,
it just rained,
- so the temperature has slightly dropped - Yes, that's right
But if you come here in midsummer,
I think you'll sweat a lot
Actually, everyone..
don't do this in the summer
In the summer, just pay 10,000 KRW
and take the tram
Ah, that seems better
It's really hot, actually
Now, right now,
we are entering the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens
We have to pass through here
There are a lot of interesting animals
- and it's free - Oh
They seem like the ones from Madagascar
There are animals here similar to monkeys
It's interesting
There are really a lot of cute ones
(???)
What's that? It's really big
Wow, it's really big
Wow
But if you actually make time to come here,
it seems like it would be okay
Especially if you have kids,
the kids would really like it here
Passing the zoo and botanical garden
Now all..
This is a really expensive neighborhood
This area is called Mid-Levels,
the most expensive
in Hong Kong
These tall apartments
I wonder how they built them on the mountain like this
It's amazing
Now from here, it's a real mountain path
A mountain path where cars can't enter
It takes about 30 minutes
(A road made during British rule)
(Follow the road straight)
Are we almost there?
Uh..
We're almost there
It's okay, it's not as long as I thought
It's not that long
After entering the mountain like this
Yeah, about 30 minutes
It really doesn't take long
It's big
We're here
We're finally here
Finally
At last
In a really dramatic way,
we saw the sun and the rain
Really
The wind is blowing
Now it's even cold
Cold
We came through it all
It seems like it took us about an hour and a half to get up here, right?
- Yes - From the very bottom
And the course, in fact,
I thought it was difficult at first
But as we went up, it wasn't a bad course
And it's easy to find the way
- It's easy to find the way - Because the path going up
- There's only one - Yes, yes, yes
So originally...
you go up here,
and the observatory's at the top
Today, I don't think we'll see anything
Oh, can't see, can't see
Most tour guides
say to go to the observatory
But if you walk a little further
You can see
- the same scenery - Right
Next to here
It's right here
Look
There are really many tourists, right?
Because these people are all tourists trying not to pay
(Tip)
We are the same
(Victoria Peak)
We started right from there
Below Bangkok China
Right
We walked up from there
Wow, Victoria Peak is really
beautiful no matter when I come
Yes
We hiked a lot today
and it was definitely tiring,
but the view at the end
made it all worth it
Until now
How far have you been in Hong Kong?
Bye-bye
