Peak to Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Hike

Hello My Dear Great Ones,

The Peak to Pok Fu Lam Reservoir hike is a beauty.  Here's why:

 The Peak Tower is a landmark of Hong Kong.  Very touristy, very expensive, yet iconic.  This is the start of the hike.

 Lugard Road is totally amazing.

 Lugard Road winds around the top of the peak and offers great views of the city and the Peak Tower.

 Lugard Road is actually more of a nature trail.

 Numerous helpful "educational information," stations are set up along Lugard adding some intelligence to the fitness you are gaining while walking.

 The views of Hong Kong from the Lugard road are amazing. 

However, Lugard Road is quite popular and can be quite crowded with people from all over the World.

 The road gives you a greater appreciation of how natural Hong Kong remains.  Remember 70% of Hong Kong is natural.

 This large banyun tree along the road is a popular spot for photos.

 Signs along the way help guide your walk.

 If you are lucky there are old guys selling traditional Hong Kong sweets.  Buy some for sure.

 The trail down to the reservoir is fantastic.

 Be prepared for lots of stairs.

 Hard to believe the city is nearby.

 This is one of HK's first reservoirs, and it is a beauty.  HK's many reservoirs helps with flood control and much needed respite from droughts.  A handy bus taking you to Kowloon is nearby.  A great little hike.

Have a great week.

Love adios and ping on!
