Description edit

It runs south from Sai Ying Pun, passing The University of Hong Kong along the Belcher's, with a road junction with Pokfield Road. The vegetation in this area is largely preserved, unlike many roads in the urban built-up areas of Hong Kong. Further south, the Pok Fu Lam playground, a public playground, is located near the junction with Mount Davis Road [yue] on Mount Davis. Down the road, Queen Mary Hospital, a large hospital complex, borders the junction with Sassoon Road and Bisney Road. Recently,[when?] the junction was renovated into a large intersection with highway loops, to ease traffic congestion. Further down the road, there is a large reservoir, a school for the blind, a vocational education centre and two housing complexes: Chi Fu Fa Yuen [yue] and Pokfulam Gardens. The road ends near the Pokfulam Fire Station and the Kellett School.

Spelling edit

The road name is spelt as three words Pok Fu Lam Road as standardised on road signs (an example pictured above), and not Pokfulam Road.

Along Pok Fu Lam Road is a property development, The Belcher's, built in 2000–2001.
