The name “Conduit” spells out its history: it was a new road developed out of the aqueduct construction beneath, which served to carry water from the Pok Fu Lam reservoir to Victoria City. For its locational advantage this portion of land was turned into the prime site of luxury residence. As Pok Fu Lam Road of the western district and Repulse Bay Road of the southern district were opened, some wealthy merchants, allured by the area’s natural scenery and retired atmosphere, started to build up all kinds of grand, exotic mansions around Pok Fu Lam and the southern coast.
Luxury homes in Old Hong Kong are so classic, so abundant and so diverse in style that they are simply incomparable with those in the present day!
