Dragon’s Back Trail

#HongKongInDepthTour Dragon’s Back Trail is acclaimed as one of the most beautiful urban hiking routes in Hong Kong. Located in the Shek O area on the southern part of Hong Kong Island, it is a must-visit for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. The entire trail is about 8.5 kilometers long and of moderate difficulty. From the starting point to Hok Tsui Road, you can enjoy breathtaking sea views of Shek O, Big Wave Bay, and the Stanley Peninsula, with scenery so picturesque it refreshes the soul. The name "Dragon’s Back" comes from the undulating terrain of the ridge, which from afar resembles a winding dragon. Along the way, there are wooden walkways and clearly marked signposts, making it easy even for beginners. The trail ends at Big Wave Bay, where hikers can relax on the beach and enjoy the sea after their trek. Compared to other hiking hotspots, Dragon’s Back is unique in how quickly it transitions from the bustling city to magnificent nature, allowing for complete relaxation of body and mind. If you love a hidden paradise within the city, Dragon’s Back is undoubtedly an excellent choice to explore Hong Kong’s natural beauty and in-depth travel.
