Lugard Road
Lugard Road () is a road located on Victoria Peak, Hong Kong, named after Sir Frederick Lugard, governor from 1907 to 1912. Located some above sea level, the road is a popular walking path that forms part of the Hong Kong Trail, and is known for the spectacular vistas over Victoria Harbour.〔England, Vaudine (4 July 2012). ("Top 10 walks in Hong Kong" ). ''The Guardian''.〕
== Description ==
Lugard Road lies approximately 400m above sea level.〔 It is a semi-circular road on Victoria Peak that mainly follows the contours of the hillside, connecting Victoria Gap in the east to Hatton Road / Harlech Road in the west.〔〔("Victoria Peak and the Victoria Peak Tram Review " ). ''Fodors''. (Archived ) from the original on 6 June 2013.〕 With Harlech Road, it wraps around the Peak to form a circuit.〔Wordie, Jason (2002) ("Lugard Road" ). ''Streets – Exploring Hong Kong Island''. Hong Kong University Press, pp. 91–97. (Archived ) from the original on 29 May 2009.〕 Lugard Road is the initial section of Stage 1 of the 50-kilometre Hong Kong Trail.〔("Pokfulam Country Park" ). Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Dept., Hong Kong〕〔(Hong Kong Trail: Stage 1, the Peak to Pokfulam Reservoir )〕 Most of Lugard Road enjoys dense tree cover, and variety of tropical vegetation can be found along its length.〔 The views of the city below from Lugard Road are variously described in travel guides as "stunning" and "spectacular".〔〔〔("Peak Circle Walk" ). Discover Hong Kong. (Archived ) from the original on 8 August 2013.〕
The road is approximately wide at its widest, and almost at its narrowest, and while not entirely pedestrian, has vehicular restrictions.〔("LCQ5: Traffic on Lugard Road" ). Government of Hong Kong. 25 June 2014〕〔("Lugard Rd to be restricted" ). Government of Hong Kong. 25 June 2014〕 Only a small number of vehicles are issued with permits to use this road giving vehicular access to their properties.〔
