Mount Austin Playground
Mount Austin Playground was once the garden to the residence of the former Governor of Hong Kong. The Victorian buildings expressed an elegant and harmonised composition. The green lawn, classical red brick architecture, European pavilions and water fountains make you feel you like you're in another country. This is a place where the newlywed come for weeding pictures.

Peak Circle Walk
Peak Circle Walk is one of the few wheelchair friendly hiking trails. It circles around The Peak, and brings you different angles of the vibrant and bustling landscape of Hong Kong. It is a must-go for all visitors.
As you start from Harlech Road (or you can start counterclockwise from Lugard Road), you will arrive at the Lugard Falls. During the rainy season, you can enjoy the ravaging fall. Harlech Road is a very easy walk with beautiful scenery. Walk further, and you will arrive Lugard Road. The road was named after Hong Kong governor Sir Frederick John Dealtry Lugard and built between 1913 and 1914. Part of the road is built in wooden planks, and you can have a 360-degree of the Victoria Harbour. It is definitely a good opportunity for photos!
