The Peak to Aberdeen Information

Starting from Lugard Road at The Peak, the hike includes Sections 1 and 2 of the Hong Kong Trail. It passes along the footpath catch water trail to Aberdeen Country Park.

Lugard Road circles the upper slopes of Victoria Peak, and the walk along its level path allows you to enjoy beautiful views of Victoria Harbour and Kowloon. There are on-site interpretative signs here, part of the PeakTrail which introduce the history and ecology of the Peak and Pok Fu Lam. Beyond Lugard Road, the trail goes downhill for some distance and then becomes flat again. In all about 13 kilometres long, this is quite a tiring hike but visitors can leave midway, going down through Pok Fu Lam valley to the main road.

This pleasant walk begins at the Peak Tram Station and offers sweeping views of Hong Kong's city skyline. It is indeed amazing that such a lovely green refuge exists just minutes from the built-up business districts. During an eruption of a live volcano in the Late Jurassic Period, underground magma claimed a wide region and formed extensive granite bedrock. The heart of this bedrock is today's Victoria Harbour, Kowloon Peninsula and northern Hong Kong Island.
