Not far from the starting point of Hong Kong Trail (Section 2) is the Pok Fu Lam Service Reservoir No. 2. The nearby Pok Fu Lam Reservoir is the first public reservoir in Hong Kong, which began construction in 1860 and started supplying water to the city by the end of 1863. Until the construction of Tai Tam Reservoir in the 1880s, Pok Fu Lam Reservoir was the only reservoir supplying water to the Central and Western District of Hong Kong Island. The abundant water resources along the trail, combined with the environment created by secondary forests and streams in the catchment area, attract many birds and insects, such as Eyebrowed Thrush (Turdus obscurus), Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), and Hainan Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis hainanus). The area is particularly vibrant during spring and summer. Continue along the path to a junction of trails toward Peel Rise and Chi Fu. Proceed up the stairs toward Peel Rise. After reaching the top of the stairs, you will arrive at Pok Fu Lam Country Park Picnic Area Site No. 3. Pass through the picnic area and walk for about 150 m to Pok Fu Lam Viewing Point where you can enjoy the panoramic views of Pok Fu Lam Reservoir. Afterward, return via the same path to the entrance of the picnic area to continue your journey. After walking through a shaded path, you will arrive at a junction of trails toward Peel Rise and Wah Fu Estate. Keep left and continue toward Peel Rise, and the scenery gradually opens up, offering views of Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter, East Lamma Channel, and Lamma Island. After that, descend a steep flight of stone steps to reach a catchwater. Here, the trail comes very close to residential buildings, with only a thin line separating urban and rural areas – a distinctive characteristic of Hong Kong's countryside. Follow the catchwater until you reach the junction of trails toward Aberdeen and Wan Chai Gap, which marks the end of Hong Kong Trail (Section 2).

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Hong Kong Trail, public can participate in the “Unlocking Hong Kong Trail” hiking challenge from now until 28th February, 2026. Participants can first register at the event website: www.unlockinghktrail.hk, then visit the eight sections of Hong Kong Trail. To “unlock” the checkpoints and collect e-badges, participants should scan the QR code at the checkpoints using smart phones and answer a question about the fun facts of Hong Kong Trail. Participants may be awarded a commemorative prize if they have completed all eight checkpoints during the event period.

_{To facilitate the public in planning their hikes, the geographical information of the route, including the route map, starting point, endpoint, and elevation chart, has been saved in a "GPX" file. The public can download hiking-related applications on their smartphones or smart watches, then click on the following "GPX" file to import the relevant information, which serves as an aid for hiking. Please note that downloading "GPX" files may increase data usage, and the functions and content display may vary depending on the device and application used.}
