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

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.

Marco Polo Gateway Hotel's location is perfect for families who love the city view, complete mix of shopping, wide food selection, plus super near the MTR station. The rooms are big enough for a family of 3, with a very spacious bathroom.

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.

If it's your first time in Hong Kong, I highly recommend taking a ride, it has a very different atmosphere compared to a typical cruise, with a gentle breeze and a view of the entire Hong Kong night scene. If you want to choose your seats first, you need to board and disembark at the same location to be in the first group to select seats.
