The University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) of The University of Hong Kong, established in 1953, is Hong Kong's oldest continuously operated museum. Its diverse collection spans over 7,000 years, featuring Neolithic ceramics, Ming and Qing dynasty paintings, and rare bronzes, including ritual vessels and Tang dynasty mirrors. Highlights include one of the earliest known underglaze-blue ceramic pieces and the world's largest collection of Yuan dynasty Nestorian crosses. UMAG also hosts contemporary and historical exhibitions, fostering a vibrant connection between art, education, and the public. As a teaching museum, it continues to support the University and the broader community through programs and activities that celebrate art and history.

The Lugard Road Lookout (The Peak), perched along the historic Lugard Road on Victoria Peak, offers one of Hong Kong’s most breathtaking panoramic views. Named after Sir Frederick Lugard, Hong Kong’s 14th Governor, this scenic spot captures the city’s iconic skyline, Victoria Harbour, and distant islands, blending urban energy with natural beauty. Built in the early 20th century, the lookout is a popular stop on the Peak’s circular walking trail, a tranquil escape surrounded by lush greenery. The Lugard Road Lookout is a timeless gem that showcases the harmonious contrast of Hong Kong’s urban and natural landscapes.
