Hiking in HK: Dragon’s Back

View from the Dragon’s Back Trail

Dragon’s back is by far the most famous hiking trail in Hong Kong. It is considerate quite easy and with a great view making it a great attraction for locals and tourists. The hike is only 7km long and it would take around 3 hours including transportation for the whole trip.

The Trail starts on ShekO road and ends at the Big Wave Beach.

How to get there: Take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan station, then get out at Exit A3 and take the bus 9 towards  To Tei Wan on Shek O Road. You can simply get off when you see a lot of hikers getting off and you won’t get lost.

The trail has a lot of signs, you won’t get lost

The first part of the trail has a lot of steps (about 250) but nothing that will set you back. The trail gets much easier after with easy slopes up and down and awesome view of Hong Kong. These ups and downs gave the trail its name, since it looks like a Darong’s Back
