A low-density, high-end residential area called Jardine's Lookout can be found between Wong Nai Chung Gap and Mount Butler. The residential area of Jardine’s Lookout consists of thirteen roads named after famous British persons during Hong Kong’s colonial times. Addresses on Tai Hang Road, Tai Hang Drive and Chun Fai Road are considered to be Mid-levels of Tai Hang or Happy Valley, not Jardine’s Lookout.
Jardine's Lookout is surrounded by several other hills including Mount Nicholson, Violet Hill and Mount Butler.
In December 2023, property developer Citic launched a development at 350 Tai Hang Road named "Jardini" and claimed that it is located in Jardine's Lookout. However, this site is geographically below Mount Butler with Jardine's Lookout on the western side. The Standard correctly described it being located in Tai Hang. Jardini will offer very small units starting from 434 sq.ft. In 2004, Cheung Kong launched a project The Legend on Tai Hang Drive and also put Jardine's Lookout as part of the name. Subsequently and up to now, all property agents have been correctly describing it's location as Tai Hang or Tai Hang Mid-levels.
