Breezy Path

Breezy Path (Chinese: 卑利士道) is a short and steep one-way road in the Mid-Levels, Hong Kong Island. It begins at the intersection point between Lyttelton Road and Park Road and ends at an intersection at Bonham Road.

Traffic can only travel downwards from Park Road to Bonham Road. There are no shops along the road; there are only residential buildings (Ying Piu Mansion) and the Hong Kong Institute of Technology. It provides a faster way to go from Lyttleton Road to Bonham Road and Caine Road, and some minibus routes use it as a shortcut, e.g. the number 56 route, which goes from Robinson Road to North Point.

History

In 1920’s, Alice Memorial Hospital was relocated to the site next to the Nethersole Hospital. Both hospitals were located at the juncture of the Bonham Road and Breezy Path.  In 1954, they were merged as “Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital”.^[1]  The hosipital was relocated to Tai Po in 1997.^[2]

The Hong Kong Institute of Technology building on Breezy Path is being demolished to make way for Ying Wa Girls' School's expansion.^[3]
