The Peak

We are still getting settled into our new life but we've managed to get out a bit and do some shopping and tourism.  One of the "must-sees" in Hong Kong is the tram up to the Peak on Hong Kong Island.    Hong Kong is primarily known as a high-density maze of people and shopping and food,  but it also has a lot of natural beauty.    

The Peak is a 10 minute walk from the Central MTR station,  which is one stop away from our apartment.  After a considerable wait,  we finally boarded the tram.

We were very fortunate to have a clear day.  Often the views are clouded up with overcast skies/pollution.

I zoomed in a bit to try to find our apartment.   It is located in Union Square,  which has a big mall,  a variety of apartment buildings, and the ICC,  the tallest building in Hong Kong (fifth tallest in the world).  From this angle,  it is blocked by other apartment buildings (the white one and the red one) but you can get a general gist of where we live.
