Departing from To Kwa Wan Station, the route traverses seven hidden hillocks in Kowloon City. First, it will pass through Lok Man Sun Chuen and the former Tin Kwong Road Police Quarters, arriving at Quarry Hill (also known as Red Light Hill), where you can experience the grandeur scene of planes taking off and landing from the hilltop. Then, it goes back to the Lo Lung Hang Hill, overlooking the scenic views of To Kwa Wan. Next, it heads to No.12 Hill, located above Ho Man Tin MTR Station, which is the hidden place for watching the habour firework. The route continues and will visit Oi Man Estate, allowing you to experience the unique HK public housing design, the well-like architecture that offers a view of the sky. The route then goes to the former Kowloon cemetery, including Ho Man Tin Hill and Waterloo Hill, passing by the former CLP headquarters, and arrives at the Kadoorie Hill, which exhibits Bauhaus building style around the hill, and also allowing runners to feel the tranquillity within the bustling city. Finally, it reaches Checkerboard Hill, which has been repainted in its signature red and white checker pattern in recent years.
