The Hundred-Year-Old Trail

The Hundred-Year-Old Trail, also known as the Circle Walk, is a well-known destination among joggers in Hong Kong due to its breathtaking panoramic view of Victoria Harbour. Unlike the Sky Terrace 428, the Circle Walk offers a constantly evolving view of the harbour as you stroll along the trail. What's more, this awe-inspiring experience comes at no cost and is available to visitors 24/7.

The View from the hill

Named after Sir Frederick Lugard, Governor of Hong Kong from 1907 to 1912, this hundred-year-old trail offers a glimpse into Hong Kong's rich history. As you stroll along the path, the lichened lamp posts and foundation of the cliff-side path are remnants of a bygone era.

This 3.5km route takes approximately an hour to complete and is mostly flat, making it accessible for everyone. For those seeking a bit more adventure, consider heading to High West for sunset. To get there from the Peak Circle Walk, look for the junction of Lugard Road and Harlech Road, and you will see a small road leading uphill. The walk takes approximately 15 minutes and rewards you with a stunning sunset view.

Directions to the Starting Point of the Walk

You're advised to start your walk from Lugard Road near the Peak Tower. The lookout will appear after 20-minute walking. Snap some photos with the background of Victoria Harbour. This is a one way road, so you shouldn't have much problem following the path back to where you started.

Here are some recommendations for your walk:

  1. There are no stores along the way, so make sure to bring enough water and snacks.
  2. If you want to catch the sunset at High West, plan your visit accordingly. Sunset times in Hong Kong can vary from 17:30 to 19:00, depending on the season.
  3. Keep in mind that the sunset view is facing southwest from Victoria Peak, while Victoria Harbour is northeast.

Don't miss the chance to experience the natural beauty and rich history of Hong Kong on The Peak Circle Walk.
