Broadwood Road (Chinese: 樂活道) is a road in Hong Kong. It was named after Major General Robert Broadwood, who served as commander of the British forces in Hong Kong from 1906 to 1910. The road was widened in 1959.[1]
The road connects Happy Valley on Hong Kong Island to Jardine's Lookout. It is an L-shape road, starting from Wong Nai Chung Road in the west, to Leighton Hill Road and Link Road at the foot of the mountain in the east, and then up the mountain to Tai Hang Road in the southeast.
