I read about this trail in an in-flight magazine on my way into Hong Kong and thought it sounded like a great hike. There are a bunch of websites that feature this trail but some of them are a bit confusing and a couple make it out to be a tough hike. It really isn't: there are a few relatively... More

Nothing better than a 3 hour walk across the dragon's back finishing with a couple of beers and some Thai Food at Shek O to finish off...

I used the route and map from the HKTB site http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/see-do/great-outdoors/hikes/dragons-back-hiking-tour.jsp Taking the bus was easy since stops are announced and displayed. The dragons back section is the best for the scenery. The remainder is not very scenic since you are walking surrounded by tall bushes. The section to Big Wave Bay is paved road for the first half and... More

Only a short subway ride and a world away. Great hiking and the views are spectacular! End your trek at Shek O for a meal and a much deserved drink. Highly recommended.

Great way to spend a few hours. Joined the trail somewhere on the way to Shek O and had a leisurely walk into Big wave bay. Lots of places to stop and take some great pics. The para gliders floating above you and taking off from the ridge make for some great viewing.

The best hike in HK (short and not too difficult but amazing views- yet gives a bit of exercise) never has any crowds. You can take bus to the start and end points or try to get a cab when you can. I really advise ANYONE in HK (visitors or residents) to try this hike if you have never hiked... More

This is my 2nd walk in Hong Kong. We intended to just do part of the Dragon's Back trail but did not figure on the rather long climb from Big Wave Bay along the Hong Kong Trail. Regardless, this is a walk not to be missed if you are reasonably fit. We had cool weather although the wind was strong... More

Take the #40 local bus from Causeway Bay (just off Hennessy Road) for 10HK$ to the Shek O stop. The trail is very well indicated and well maintained, so almost impossible to get lost. The first mile or so is steeply uphill on steps, then the trail opens out and meanders up and down until you get to the ridge.... More

A rewarding and not too difficult walk on Hong Kong Island over some flat and averagely steep climbs. Well-maintained pathway over the complete length. Easily walkable in 2 or 3 hours. I imagine it would afford splendid views but alas the mist made sure that we did not see too far ahead of us. Tea in the Shining Stone in... More
