Pok Fu Lam to The Peak: taking it to the top
Average hiking time: About 2.5 hours | Distance: About 6 km | Difficulty: Easy
In no other major world city will a short walk take you from densely packed urban areas to stunning mountain-top trails. This relatively gentle hike from Pok Fu Lam highlights one of the unique advantages of Hong Kong, where the countryside is literally on the doorstep of one of the world’s great metropolises.
The walk takes you from the busy road that connects the west to the south of Hong Kong Island up to one of the world’s most desirable — and expensive — residential areas. Along the way you pass Pok Fu Lam Reservoir, the first ever reservoir constructed in Hong Kong, and head along pathways where you are more likely to encounter butterflies than people.
Spend some time on The Peak, where history mingles with modern-day tourist attractions, and revel in the amazing views over the city from the Lugard Road.
Finish your day by following the Lugard Road loop then taking the steps up to High West to enjoy more spectacular vistas and, if you get the timing right, an awe-inspiring sunset.
In just three short hours you will experience many different facets of life on Hong Kong Island.
Stop 1. Pok Fu Lam Reservoir
Pok Fu Lam Reservoir was the city’s first reservoir, built in 1863 with a capacity of 233,000 cubic metres. Start your hike from the Pok Fu Lam Country Park entrance, and walk along Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Road.
SEE MORE…HIGH WEST
At 493m above sea level, High West towers between Victoria Harbour and Mount Davis with a magnificent view of Hong Kong from Pok Fu Lam Reservoir right over to Victoria Harbour. It is one of the most famous sunset spots on The Peak.
Stop 2. Lugard Road Lookout
Walk along Lugard Road for about 20 minutes and you will reach the viewpoint that provides the most iconic images of Hong Kong’s skyscrapers.
SEE MORE…PINEWOOD BATTERY
Pinewood Battery is the city’s highest coastal defence battery, built in the early 1900s. The site was severely damaged during World War II. Today it is a landmark of Lung Fu Shan Country Park where you can find other remnants of Hong Kong’s wartime history.
Stop 3. The Peak Tower
The Peak Tower is an architectural icon of Hong Kong that offers a wide array of shopping, dining and entertainment alongside amazing city views.
REFUEL
There are several cafes and restaurants at the Peak Tower.
To the starting point:
- From Central, take bus 4x, 7, 30X or 91 from Exchange Square and alight at Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Road.
From finish point:
