When you are walking in the scenic hilltop loop trails, you can see layers of skyscrapers, world-renowned Victoria Harbor, as well as fresh and pleasant green hills; if you overlook from Lugard Taoist temple, harbor scenery is even more fantastic.

Sitting inside the car, the body can not help backward tilt.
