Even if you don't know your schedule, you can make a reservation right before, so you can go to the Peak Tram, buy a ticket right before the entrance, and enter with the QR code on the voucher.

At The Peak tram building entrance, head over to Madam Tussauds to exchange your ticket to The Peak tickets. use it to scan the turnstiles for the tram and the skydeck (top floor). for madam tussauds, use your klook voucher. don’t throw your peak ticket as it serves are your roundtrip ticket. and then sit on the right side going up and left side going down

location is just infront of a tram, just make sure you have your octopus metro card. the hotel offers free bus drop offs to nearby places at a given schedule, including the airport express train drop off. the staff and breakfast is good. altho this hotel does not have nearby convenience stores. you have to go a few blocks. foodpanda works but they drop off the food at the lobby which is ok. hotel is clean, free water stations at every floor. no toiletries bring your own. and oh yea, this is located behind a cemetery hehehe but its ok

There's a wide variety of seafood, and aside from the disappointing oysters, everything else was very fresh. The cooked dishes were quite good, and the prices were discounted, making it a great value.

Buy-one-get-one-free is a great deal, I really like the quiet and elegant environment, the service is very good, the food selection is not too much, but the lunch is sufficient, the hot food and desserts are delicious 👍😋

You get water and souvenirs when you get on the bus. If you're not in a hurry, slowly experiencing Hong Kong Island is a good choice. The bus conditions aren't always certain, so don't schedule your subsequent itinerary too tightly. There are explanations on the bus, so you can learn about the local culture, and they'll even help you take photos. Remember to get your stamp before the bus departs, because it'll be too late to get it after you get off.
