Description
Hike Hong Kong’s Dragon’s Back and discover why Time Magazine hailed it as Asia's best urban hike. This 2-hour hill trek outside Hong Kong’s metro sprawl offers a workout and panoramic views.
This half-day outing includes an introduction to an ordinary Workday morning in the city of Hong Kong before it takes you out of the urban into the green hills for a bit of quiet, a workout, and spectacular views.
Itinerary:
Start this half-day outing to Hong Kong’s Dragon’s Back trail on the iconic Hong Kong tram, watching the commuters heading to work.
Take in the atmosphere of a local wet market, and experience life of ordinary Hong Kongers as they go about their daily activities.
The hike commences along a lovely cool path through shady groves of bamboo and lush woodland, accompanied by birdsong. Emerge into open hillsides, often covered with wild azaleas, bell flowers or rose myrtle.
Reach the spectacular Shek O Country Park, and follow the rugged spinal ridge of Dragon's Back as it undulates through breathtaking views of the distant Islands, sandy bays, and the sea.
The trail ends at the road to nearby Shek O Village and Beach. You may transfer back to Central with the guide or decide to explore Shek O on your own.
