On above photo - and the following - you clearly see why Hong Kong is sometimes referred to as "The Vertical City" - -
There is not enough flat land to spread over - so the city grows upwards - and actually Hong Kong has more skyscrtapers than New York - hence - "The Vertical City" -

Lugard Road - that goes halfway around Victoria Peak - is mentioned a few times on this page.
The special thing about Lugard Road is, that it is not cut into the mountain side, but rather hangs outside the mountain -
A VERY beautiful and rewarding walk around the Peak - following this unique "hanging" road - - -
