Asia Beauty Spot – Asia Scenery

troll around Victoria Peak on this leisurely 3.5-kilometre circuit to enjoy stunning views over the South China Sea and Victoria Harbour and gain a sense of Hong Kong’s rich colonial heritage. This is a great way to walk off a meal after dining at one of the Peak’s restaurants.

Peak Trail skirts around Victoria Peak. It meets with several trails along the way to form various combinations. The section from Victoria Gap to Pokfulam via Lugard Road offers the greatest number of attractions.

As soon as you turn into Lugard Road, an India Rubber Tree with dense aerial roots stand by the trail.

Arriving at the summit of Victoria Peak, an interpretation plate tells the story of Cheung Po Tsai and his connection with the name of peak. You may leave at this point for public transport, or to walk along Pokfulam Reservoir Road on the left. This path takes you down to the 200-year-old Pokfulam Village. Take some time to explore this old settlement which is one of few existing rural villages on Hong Kong Island.
