'''Pok Fu Lam Road''' ([[Traditional Chinese characters|Chinese]]: 薄扶林道), or '''Pokfulam Road''', is a four-lane road in Hong Kong. Built on [[Hong Kong Island]], the road runs between [[Sai Ying Pun]] and [[Wah Fu]], through [[Pok Fu Lam]].

==Description==
It runs south from Sai Ying Pun, passing [[University of Hong Kong|The University of Hong Kong]] along [[the Belcher's]], with a road junction with [[Pokfield Road]]. The vegetation in this area is largely preserved, unlike many roads in the urban built-up areas of Hong Kong. Further south, the Pok Fu Lam playground, a public playground, is located near the junction with [[Mount Davis Road]] in [[Mount Davis, Hong Kong|Mount Davis]]. Down the road, [[Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong)|Queen Mary Hospital]], a large hospital complex, borders the junction with [[Sassoon Road]] and [[Bisney Road]]. Recently, the junction was renovated into a large intersection with highway loops, to ease traffic congestion. Further down the road, there is a large reservoir, a school for the blind, a vocational education centre and two large housing complexes: [[Chi Fu Fa Yuen]] and [[Pokfulam Gardens]]. The road ends at the Pokfulam Fire Station.

==Spelling==
The road name is always spelled as Three words ''Pok Fu Lam Road'' (see road sign above), and not ''Pokfulam Road''.

Along Pok Fu Lam Road is a property development, [[The Belcher's]], built in 2000–2001.
