High above Wan Chai, offering picture perfect views of the district, Bowen Road is bordered by Magazine Gap Road in the west and Stubbs Road in the east. This 4km, car-free path is not just for runners. There are parks, playgrounds and plenty of photo-ops that capture the concrete jungle-meets-actual-jungle nature of HK. Bonus points if you take the short hike up to Lover’s Rock.

One of the interesting things to see along the Bowen Road Fitness Walking Trail is the famous Lover's Rock. This is a 9-metre tall granite monolith that is believed to be an energy source for providing happy marriage to those who worship the at the giant boulder.

Rock Resembling a stone pen sticking out of a stone base, Lovers' Rock is said to have granted happy marriages to pious worshippers. It is also said that people may indulge their marital invocations by hanging a wine bottle on a tree near to the Rock. From that location, visitors can also enjoy a splendid view of the skyline below the hill.

Transport:

Take the MTR to Wan Chai Station and leave from Exit A3, take bus No.15 to Hong Kong Adventist Hospital. Then walk along Bowen Road for about 20 to 30 minutes.
It takes around 30 minutes walk from Hope Well
Center in Wanchai through Wanchai Gap Road.
