Nature in Hong Kong

🌄 Discover Hong Kong’s Wild Side: Hike, Views & Relaxation 🍃🏖️ Craving a break from city buzz? Hong Kong’s Dragon’s Back and Shek O Beach offer a refreshing combo of mountain adventure and laid-back seaside vibes—all just an hour from Central. Catch bus no. 8, transfer to bus 9, and you’re set for the ultimate nature escape! Start with the Dragon’s Back hike, famous for lush ridge-top trails and sweeping blue sea panoramas. Don’t miss the “insta-worthy” lookout points—especially at the top—where you’ll snap dramatic shots of undulating hills meeting coastal bays. Keep your camera handy; hang gliders colour the skies in good weather! This trail is best tackled in trainers, with water and sun protection (the sun can be intense and there’s little shade). Early morning or late afternoon hikes mean cooler temps and gentler light for photos. Once you finish the hike, hop back on bus 9 to reach Shek O Beach. The golden sand and turquoise water reward your efforts—perfect for a swim or snooze under the trees. Look for the rocky outcrop at the end of the beach for beautiful sea vista shots and a peaceful picnic spot. You'll find public showers, changing rooms, and local snack stalls nearby; just keep an eye on your belongings and remember Shek O is popular on weekends. Bonus tip: This outdoor double-feature is open year-round, so pack for comfort whatever the season. Enjoy a new perspective of Hong Kong—nature is just a bus ride away! #hongkong #natureescape #dragonback #shekobeach #hikingadventure
