  32. Going out to the open-air section, Peter sees a very low Sun, bathing everything in a golden light.


  33. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Great!

  50. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In Hong Kong, its night view is spectacular.


  51. Peter takes a few photos.


  52. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): In the past, I recommended business friends to visit the Peak sometime after 5.00pm so that they can see both the natural and artificial beauty of Hong Kong.

  59. The TV is on, reporting US Presidential election news.


  60. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I am content that my late wife and I left a legacy to our son. It's a shame that only I can become a Senior Citizen.

  62. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): And I had a staycation at the Peak yesterday.


  63. FADE OUT.
