In the past, when the British implemented colonial rule over Hong Kong, the transportation to and from the "Victoria Peak" was not fully developed, and it was generally necessary to travel by car. Therefore, those who can settle on the "Victoria Peak" are mainly foreigners or people with social status. But as more and more people came to settle here, "Victoria Peak" also began to develop. Until the official opening of the Peak Tram in 1888, it has gradually become a famous scenic spot.

In addition, Lugard Road also has a long history. Built in the early 20th century, Lugard Road was named after the 14th Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Frederick Lugard. Some sections of Lugard Road were rebuilt from a hundred-year-old plank road. Along the way, the view is wide, and the charming and magnificent city scenery can be seen.
Walking uphill along Mount Austin Road, you will come to a "Victoria Peak Garden" with full of British colors.
