Braemar Hill


Braemar Hill is a hill with a height of south of Braemar Point on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The hill was likely named after the Scottish village of Braemar by British officials.
Contrary to popular belief, the peak of Braemar Hill lies on the eastern end of Braemar Hill Road instead of the western end, where the ascent towards Red Incense Summit is noticeably steeper. Hikers often misidentify Red Incense Summit and nearby hilltops as the peak of Braemar Hill.
The north and western sides of this hill are largely residential, consisting primarily of private upmarket real estate. Because of its convenient location and high real estate prices, Braemar Hill is considered one of the more affluent neighbourhoods in the territory.

Pedestrian escalator system

In 2020, the Hong Kong Government proposed building a pedestrian link and escalator system between Braemar Hill and Fortress Hill, which has an MTR station. It would be akin to the Central–Mid-Levels escalator, albeit with gaps and more lifts. Currently under construction, the Highways Department currently estimates completion of the system in 2027.
