High West and The Peak

High West and The Peak

This is a familiar route with a twist that takes in two Peak views and up 160 meters of elevation. It is a mix of flat paths and trails.

Starting at The Peak Galleria, you’ll take in a peaceful walk along Harlech Road’s Morning Trail, then head off piste for a rougher climb up to High West for a panoramic view over the West Lamma Channel and Kowloon. For the second view, you’ll head back down to Lugard Road to take in Hong Kong’s most popular view of the city at sunset.
