The Aroma Walk is a short hiking trail connecting the bustling streets of North Point and the tranquil Braemar Hill. For many years, it has been a popular walkway for locals and hikers alike. While previously unnamed, it was unveiled as the “Aroma Walk” by the Eastern District Council in 2003, as part of a series of district revitalisation. Rain shelters and benches have been added along the path as a result of the project. Keeping with its name’s sake, an abundance of tropical flowers can be found along the trail during Spring and Summer. You may also find street cats roaming about, which can be quite of a jump scare at times.
Lightings are limited after dark, and the path can be very quiet during off hours, so suggest to bring a torch and exercise caution if planning to attempt at night.
Hope you enjoy this little hike.
香花徑(Aroma Walk)是一條連接北角書局街至寶馬山半山天后廟道的石級山徑。這是不少學生由北角到寶馬山上課使用的山徑，不少附近的居民亦會利用此山徑作晨運。東區區議會在2003年把山徑命名為香花徑，並由東區民政事務處在利用市區小工程計劃進行改善美化，在沿途加入了有蓋休息亭。沿途可以看見桂花、山指甲、茉莉花和九里香等亞熱帶植物，亦可以見到不少野貓在此山徑流連。香花徑並非正式街道名稱，所以香港地圖上找不到這名字。
由於照明不足，如果你打算在夜間尋找，建議攜帶手電筒或頭燈並小心腳步。
