The 8 Best Things to do in University, China
Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

For anyone who wants to explore the Peak beyond the commercial Peak Tower and Galleria centres, the Morning Trail is a very popular 2.7km hiking path that leads from Mid-Levels up to the Peak. An excellent sight-seeing plan is to catch the Peak tram one way and walk the other way. It is a steep but steady climb through bushland and jungle-like growth. However, it’s paved the whole way so there is no bush scrambling or rough, dirt tracks. Other than being very steep, it is a relatively easy walk and because it zig-zags its way up the Peak, it is a gentler path than the Old Peak Road Trail. You won’t be isolated or on your own because this path is used constantly as an exercise trail. It’s well sign-posted along the way and there are various information panels that provide some detail on native flora and fauna. From Mid-Levels, the trail starts at Hatton Rd (see photo below) and ends up joining the circular Peak trail on Lugard Rd. From here, you can follow the flat path to the Peak tram and Peak Tower. I usually turn left towards the Peak Tower but it really doesn't matter too much because either way will bring you to the the same spot. Allow about 40-50 minutes for the walk (one way). Hidden off to the side of the main trail, is the historic Pinewood Battery. It’s a very interesting diversion. These old military relics are a ghostly memory of past wars. An excellent heritage trail leads you past old gun batteries, forts, magazines and battle-scarred bunkers, dating from 1901-5 and WWII. To find the ruins, look for the signs on your right (if going up to the Peak). The path is reasonably shaded in parts but even so, sunscreen and water are essentials as Hong Kong weather is pretty hot and humid for a lot of the year.

This is a very accessible country park on the Peak. Entry is free and there are 2 main attractions: i) the "Morning Trail" hiking path and ii) the historic ruins of the old military Pinewood Battery. The Morning Trail is a very popular walking path that leads up/down the Peak. It is a steep but steady climb through native bushland and jungle-like growth and is a gentler path than the Old Peak Road Trail. The path is paved the whole way so, other than being very steep, it is a relatively easy walk. From Mid-Levels, it starts at Hatton Rd and joins up with the circular Peak trail on Lugard Rd. From here, you can follow the path to the Peak tram and Peak Tower. Allow about 40 minutes for the walk. The Pinewood Battery is hidden halfway up the Peak, just off the Morning Trail. You will see clearly posted signs along the way. These historic military relics are a ghostly reminder of a past world and past wars and include an excellent heritage trail that leads you through the bushland, past old gun batteries, forts, magazines and battle-scarred bunkers which date from 1901-5 and WWII. The park has good facilities. Simple picnic sites, basic barbecue areas, toilets, fitness equipment, information boards and seating are spread throughout the grounds.
