Do you want to walk in a fairy forest? Do you want to go on a thrilling ride through a dark tunnel called Rise of The Dragon?

Used as a natural signaling post for incoming cargo ships in the nineteenth century, The Peak was the summer home of Governor Sir Richard MacDonnell and was soon inhabited by other wealthy residents of Hong Kong. A tram route initiated by Alexander Findlay Smith, who had worked for Scotland's Highland Railway, came into existence and The Peak was transformed into a tourist destination attracting over 7 million visitors a year. Taking their guests through a land that blends the art of the east with the craft of the west, Excitehotels.com as an online hotel reservations portal opens out an exotic wonderland of exciting accommodations that transforms holidays into magical vacations.
