My family took a walk to the Victoria Peak this morning.
We started the journey from the University of Hong Kong at Pokfulam. Having had our breakfast at the University canteen, we took a route uphill via the Lung Fu Shan Country Park to the Peak.
The weather was fine with occasional sunshine. The footpath is well paved and the gradient is comfortable.
As it is spring time, the trees are green and the flowers are blossoming. The route to the Peak is vital and full of life.
In halfway of the journey, we stopped for a break at the Pinewood Battery, a historic miltary site, from where visitors can enjoy a beautiful view of the Victoria Harbour. The site is also a great place for leisure, picnic and BBQ.
The Pinewood Battery is closed to Harlech Road, the destination of our journey, which road links with Lugard Road to form a circular loop around the Peak.
It took us about 2 hours (inclusive of resting time and the visit to the Pinewood Battery) to walk uphill from the University to Harlech Road. The return journey (downhill) was about 1 hour.
