Skyline Luge

From the peak's main building, take another chairlift up for the luge ride! It's a very fun and thrilling ride! You will want to pay for more ride. Take at least 2 rides to experience both the scenic and advanture track.

Note to friends: Even if you have taken the ride at Sentosa, Singapore, do take this one. It's SO much more fun!




At the end of the day, we stumble upon an amazing view at the bottom of the hill. Setting sunlight and bright moonlight shining upon the opposite mountains.


Who would miss such beautiful view? ^_^
