Why it's worth it:
---------------------------------------
 |
| Right out of HKU MTR station's exit C1, head right on Pok Fu Lam road |
 |
| Cross the road and when you see a gas station on your left, that's about where the trail starts (on the left). Lots-o-stairs! |
 |
| Go towards Pinewood Battery |
 |
| After this point, follow the instructions towards The Peak. You can also go through Pinewood Battery if you have not seen it before but that's more steps. |
 |
| That's the flat spot with a park where Hatton, Lugard and Harlech Rd meet. Take the steps up (Don't step over the dog!) |
 |
| Head left at the junction |
 |
| Voila! Victoria Park. Go across and down when you are done admiring |
 |
| Down |
 |
| Very nice spot for a pic-nic |
 |
| When done, go back up and onto Mount Austin Road. Head right. |
 |
| Former Gate Lodge |
 |
| Done. The Peak Tower. Tons-o-bus at the Galleria go back down to Central |
