Lan Kwai Fong is walking distance from Central Ferry Pier. It's one of Hong Kong's most popular and vibrant nightlife locales, chockablock with restaurants and bars.
The Peak is also a high point for visitors to the island, in every sense of the term.
The top of 554-meter-high mount is the highest point in Hong Kong. It offers a panorama of sparkling skyscrapers and Victoria Harbor that's especially glittering at night.
I took the historical Peak Tram to ascend to the free-entry observation deck, where telescopes enable viewers to zoom in on the buildings.
My thoughts wandered back to Lisa and the other sea creatures at Ocean Park.
As I prepared to leave Hong Kong, I recalled how she and her friends flapped their flippers to wave a splashy farewell as I got out of their pool.
Indeed, parting is such sweet sorrow.
If you go
Flights from Beijing to Hong Kong are about three hours. Arrivals at Hong Kong's airport can rent portable Wi-Fi routers, and buy Octopus Cards for public transport and shopping. Airport Expresses and public buses run until midnight.
