Harlech Road and Lugard Road Circular Walk, The Peak

From the exit of MTR Liwan A3, change the 9th bus to Shek O direction, get off at Landwan Station and get to the eight-section Longji of the most beautiful Hong Kong Island Trail. Along the path, you can see the beautiful mountain view. The flowers on the roadside are also blooming beautifully. The air is very fresh and makes people feel very comfortable.

The Taiping Peak in Hong Kong is a famous tourist area and rich people live in areas where many Hong Kong people like to exercise. The trail is covered by the woods, very quiet and fresh air. It's really fun to meet a rich person or movie star often.

Take the 15-way double-decker bus to the top of the mountain and walk down the mountain. Why? The scenery along the way is excellent, stop and stop, not tired at all. The walking path is a winding path, paved very flat, and there are not many people. Time, basically 1.5 hours can go down to Gande Road. There are CMBs under the mountain to Lan Kwai Fong and Central.

It’s always a brilliant place to enjoy and capture the “million dollar view” and sunset of Hong Kong. Great to witness that The Peak, after the pandemic, becomes a popular tourist spot again (the shopping area has not been so crowded for years). When I walk around the Peak Lookout area, it’s not as crowded as I thought, and so to me it is a precious thing to have an hour of quiet time to just live in the moment, inhale gratitude, and exhale stress.

Everyone knows that you can watch the night scenery on the top of Taiping Mountain by cable car. In fact, there is a very good hiking route on the top of the mountain, called the Hong Kong Island Trail, which can go down the mountain from the top to the University of Hong Kong. We take a cable car up the hill, come down 428 from the skyscraper on the top of Taiping Mountain, start hiking on the right side, start on Luji Road, and then walk around the top of Taiping Mountain according to the sign of Hong Kong Island Trail. There are very few people on the road. It's the local people who run by chance. In fact, this is a good place for jogging. There are many trees, the air is very good, and there are many plant descriptions. Along the way, there was a fog lock in Xianqiao, one of Hong Kong's eight scenic spots. The best way to get down from Luji Road to Keyton Road is to go down Luji Road to the intersection of Xiali Road in the first half of the map. The problem is that we ordered Agam shrimp on the top of the mountain. If we didn't order this meal, we would definitely go down directly. After we went up the hill, we went down again from Xiali Road and Kerton Road, which was equivalent to walking a circle and a half. Along the way, there are many trees and flowers, as well as private villas, you can also see the scenery from different directions. The road signs along the way are very clear. Luji Road and Xiali Road are the two halves of the mountain. Luji Road is 2.25 kilometers and takes about 45 minutes. The peak of Xiali Road is 1.25 kilometers and about 30 minutes. The Pok Fu Lin Pond in the other direction is another walking route recommended by the website of the Hong Kong Tourism Development Bureau. It takes longer time. Along the way, you can go through the Longhu Mountain Country Park until you reach the gate of the University of Hong Kong.

The air is good, quiet, and it is good to walk around and return to Lingxuan Pavilion. If you walk slowly, it will take more than 1 hour, which is very suitable. [View]

From Xialidao, you can climb the West Alpine Mountains, because there are hundreds of stairs, it takes about 25 minutes if you can physically. The West Alpine Mountain is a famous place to enjoy the sunset.

About 20 minutes walk from Peak Square to Luji Road to Luji Road Observation Deck, away from tourists and enjoy the great place in Victoria Harbour.
