Best hiking spots Hong Kong

Dragon’s back trail is one of the most popular hike journey in Hongkong. Why is it? It’s easy to access, easy to complete, very scenic and ends at a beautiful beach (if you want it to). For many people, the Dragon’s Back Hike is their induction to hiking in Hong Kong. It’s also a great way to see the other side of Hong Kong – the side with no skyscrapers, with lush trees, sandy beaches, and the sea. It’s also called the last leg of the Hong Kong Trail, this meandering path on the ridge of Dragon’s Back is widely hailed as one of Hong Kong’s best urban hikes. Besides its attractive name, Dragon’s Back has a sightseeing platform near its peak that provides truly spectacular views of southern Hong Kong Island and its shoreline. Right at the trail’s end is Big Wave Bay. Take a dip or surf the waves for a relaxing finale to this hike. The Dragon’s Back Hike is possibly the most popular hike in Hong Kong. Getting there: Directions to the TH from the MTR subway system and back: Take A3 Exit at Shau Kei Wan MTR Station (筲箕灣站) Take n9 Bus for Shek O (石澳) and get off at To Tei Wan Tsuen stop (土地灣村) The trailhead is on the left side of the road, Hike the 5.5 mile long Dragon’s Back trail to Big Wave Bay Beach (大浪灣) Take the red minibus back to Shau Kei Wan MTR Station from the Big Wave Bay Village bus parking lot.

The MacLehose Trail
Hong Kong hiking, these 10 routes are enough‼️ ||| People who don't understand will be very puzzled! Why does Hong Kong, a city where every inch of land is precious, have so many mountains to climb? Actually, Hong Kong is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Each hiking trail has its own unique features, and the coastline is very long. At the same time, there are two "forests" with many stunning scenic views. This time we recommend these 10 hiking routes. Get ready and you can set off! MacLehose Trail Sections 1 and 2 Total length of 100 kilometers, divided into ten sections, among which the first and second sections are most suitable for leisurely hiking. 📍Route: Beitan Yong - Wanyi Reservoir West Dam - Wanyi Reservoir East Dam - Langjia Bay - Xiwanting Longji Road Named the best urban hiking trail in Asia by Time magazine, walk along the mountain ridge and enjoy a 360-degree view of the sea.

There are indigenous fishermen and some backpackers like to camp here. 📍Route: Ta Men Island - Big Grassland - Dié Shí Lion Mountain The embodiment of Hong Kong spirit, Lion Rock has many hiking trails with clear routes and steps, offering a panoramic view of Hong Kong's urban scenery. 📍Route: Lion Mountain Park - Memorial Pavilion - Lion Mountain - Wàngfū Stone - Shātián Hóngméi Valley Fei'e Mountain The mountain is about 600 meters high, and from the mountaintop, you can enjoy the spectacular view of the Kowloon Peninsula.
