Beschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lugard Road is a popular walking path in Hong Kong. The road is semi-circular and links with Harlech Road to surround Victoria Peak. It is notable for its view, tranquility, and simplicity: continuing along the path will take visitors back to the Peak Tram station. Recent shotcreting efforts have blighted some sections. Too narrow in most places to be a road, for much of its length Lugard Road serves more as a path winding past stands of wild banana, flowering creepers, and tropical vegetation. Densely shaded for most of its length, Lugard Road provides vistas of Victoria Harbour, distant islands, and densely packed city beneath. As seen from the road, most of the surrounding countryside is made up of extensive green hills with few buildings. While there are a number of houses at various points along its length, Lugard Road perhaps surprisingly given itsharbour and island views is not one of the Peak's more sought-after residential addresses. The road is too narrow for cars to pass in most places, the cliff sides for much of its length are too steep to build anything on, and the houses scattered along its length are often considered remote and difficult to access.
