Victoria Peak magnificent view !

WooooouuuuaaaAA qu'elle montée!!! C'était vraiment raide tenir debout fut un vrai défi...

C’est là fin de l’après midi et je me rends au Victoria Peak, point culminant de Hong Kong depuis lequel on peut admirer la fameuse Skyline.
Victoria Peak 太平山頂 est une montagne à Hong Kong, aussi appelée localement the Peak et Mount Austin. La montagne se situe dans la moitié ouest de l'île de Hong Kong. Avec une altitude de 552 m, c'est le point culminant de l'île, mais non du territoire de Hong Kong, qui est le Tai Mo Shan. Enfin peut être le terme de "montagne" est-il un peu exagéré, si l'on considère que le sommet culmine à 552m de hauteur. Il n'en demeure pas moins que ce lieu, dont le nom perpétue la mémoire de certaine reine britannique, est l'un des endroits favoris de ceux qui aiment se placer au-dessus des gratte-ciels pour mieux les contempler.

Victoria Peak offre une vue stupéfiante sur les grands immeubles d’Hong Kong. Je suis à présent placée au dessus des grattes ciels, je tente tant bien que mal de faire mes photos mais le résultat n’a rien avoir avec la réalité. Quelle spectacle magnifique se situe juste devant mes yeux…jeux de lumières, immenses grattes ciels aux formes parfois surprenantes et en arrière plan les eaux de Victoria Harbour sillonnées d’embarcations diverses.
C’est de cette montagne que je suis le plus frappée par cette impression de pouvoir et de démesure qui émane de Hong-Kong. De nuit le spectacle est vraiment fascinant.

Pour monter au Peak on peut prendre le Peak Tram. Ce célèbre funiculaire était le premier transport public de Hong Kong. Son exploitation a commencé en mai 1888 et il a desservi le Peak avec succès pendant ces 112 dernières années.
A l’origine le Peak Tram fonctionnait à la vapeur, produite dans des chaudières à charbon. En 1926 ce système a été remplacé par une installation électrique. Des voitures légères de 62 places, entièrement en métal, ont été introduites en 1956. Les voitures actuelles, ont été mises service en 1989.

Rentrer dans ce funiculaire est un exploit car aujourd’hui c’est le premier octobre, c’est donc le « Chinese National Day ». C’est un jour férié pour les chinois, et un monde fou essaye de monter au Victoria peak pour admirer le magnifique feu d’artifice qui aura lieux plus tard. Je me bat donc avec une multitude de chinois qui me poussent et bousculent dans tous les sens.
Ici si l’on veut rentrer dans le tram il faut savoir se frayer son chemin. Je pars donc les bras repliés sur ma poitrine et fonce droit devant dans la foule jusqu'à atteindre mon objectif : la porte du tram. La comme le reste des gens qui m entourent je pousse, pousse et rentre enfin dedans.
On est vraiment tassés et compressés mais j’ai la chance de me retrouver plaquée contre une vitre ce qui me permet d’admirer la vue lors de la montée au sommet. Le contraste entre le paysage, la végétation que l'on traverse lors de la montée en tram et la vue plongeante à l'arrivée sur la ville de Hong Kong est assez surprenant.
