[2025 Hong Kong ] Travel Guide for Dragon's Back (Updated Mar)

#travelgram Located in Hong Kong, Dragon’s Back is one of the most scenic hikes in the region. The trail winds through lush green hills and offers breathtaking views of the South China Sea, Shek O Beach, and the surrounding islands. It’s a moderately easy hike, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels. Travel tip: Start your hike early in the morning to avoid the midday heat and catch the sunrise over the hills. Bring plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes with good grip. The trail ends near Big Wave Bay Beach, so pack a swimsuit for a refreshing dip post-hike.

We completed the coastal path around Hong Kong Island! Totalling 65km, it took us 3 days. Fantastic experience to explore the variety that the island has to offer. The views were spectacular, of both natural and urban scenery. Some highlights were Repulse beach (quite the opposite of repulsive), Kennedy town, and the Dragon's Back trail. Most of the coastal path is on the actual coast, but some stretches require a detour inland. There was a lot of building work happening in the north west of the island, presumably when finished will improve the path in that area. Top tips: Pre-planning accommodation is essential. Plenty of public toilets on the route. Public transport is also VERY efficient if needed. Highly recommend the walk, we thoroughly enjoyed it. #cherryblossom2024 #hongkong #trekking #coastalwalk #trip #asia #mytravelhacks

Dragon's Back is such an awesome name for one of the most popular hiking trails in HK! This hill is not that high, only 352 m. It's an easy hiking trail suitable for everyone. Expecting duration to climb up is 3 hours. This place is magnificent, and there are pretty good reasons for that. First of all, I like wild roads and this trail has it, except for some stairs, which are mostly from the beginning of the road. When you reach the top, you can enjoy an outstanding sea view from both sides and there are big horizons over there where you can enjoy the sightseeing wild nature with no buildings around. You can notice some beautiful birds over there, the sea, islands, beaches, etc. I fully recommend you if you have to bring binoculars so you can enjoy such a superb 360-degree view. Also, this hill is perfect for picnics, there are even some benches over there. The spring can be windy on the top, just to fulfill the moment of enjoyment. So if you are in Hong Kong and you want to hike, find a way to the Shek O beach, which can lead you to the Dragon's Back hiking trail, and when you reach the top, everything that I said here will make perfect sense for you there! #mytripvlog #tripblazers #hikingtrails #bucketlistreboot #2023travelwish

The Dragon’s Back (Traditional Chinese: 龍脊) is a ridge in southeastern Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, between Wan Cham Shan and Shek O Peak. It lies within the Shek O Country Park. In 2004 the Dragon’s Back Trail was selected by TIME Asia as the best urban hiking trail. Dragons back is possibly the most well-known and well-travelled hike in HK. This is due to its easy terrain, convenient start and end point, it’s proximity to the beaches and of course it’s breath-taking views. was instantly surprised by how busy this was compared to other trails I’ve been to in HK. But it was a sunny Sunday and the temperature was perfect, so I guess local people just thought why not?! Start the Dragons Back Hong Kong along Shek O Road, just a 20-minute drive from Central Hong Kong. Either take a taxi or you can take no.9 bus from Shau Kei Wan MTR station, and stop at the bus stop at To Tei Wan Village. The entrance to the Dragon’s Back is right at the bus stop and is highlighted with a large sign and map The trail starts (and ends) very easily. It’s not difficult terrain and it’s quite casual to hike, even a beginner could do this I feel. After around 30 mins it was time for lunch. Vincent advised us to eat first and check out the views second. However, a few of us climbed the rocks to get some good photos and soak in the vista below. Much to our horror the lunch was almost gone. Lesson learned, next time have lunch first! It’s a funny story to tell at least and it didn’t really affect the day in anyway. After lunch came the bulk of the walk. Some stairs, some trail. All well-defined and easy to navigate, we soon began making great profess. The only problem was how slow some people are in front of us. Traffic jam on the mountain! Along the route there are numerous majestic photo opportunities and views of the vista below you. Beaches, oceans and even villas. The views are seared into my brain for all eternity. The top side of dragons back continue to give good views and good breeze from 360 degrees. However, as you descend the views disappear. With trees on both side of the trail, you cannot really see much and the 2nd half of the hike was a bit disappointing. The highlight being a refreshing stream to wash our faces and drink. Clean and healthy! After defeating the dragon, you end at Big Wave Bay. Still recovering from the devastation of the typhoon, this a popular haven for water sport fanatics with surfers and wind surfers out in force. The beach was clean and spacious, the other beach goers not giving us a second look and just going about their business. My opinion is that Big Wave Bay is a bit boring if you don’t go in the water. I’ve never been a beach lover and I didn’t bring a swim suit, so I quickly got bored. With little to see here I was happy to move onto Shek O village #hkinsider #hongkong

Such a beautiful day with a beautiful view 🤩 This trail is considered moderate and it took us more than 2 hours to complete it. What I love 😍 the most is the trail mostly unpaved which is make it more natural and fresh In the beginning, it's quite steep and then up and down moderately. It's just amazing to walk along the dragon's back while enjoying the breathtaking view and taking a deep breath of fresh air, along the way 🥰 This is the perfect hiking 🥾 How to get there? From Shau Kei Wan MTR exit A2, take the minibus to Dragon's Back/Shek O, don't forget to tell the driver that you'll be getting off the Dragon's Back. #bucketlistreboot #awesomepic #hikingtrails

#LocalTour #novicehiking #HongKong is really beautiful This is my first time hiking, so I chose Dragon Ridge, which overlooks the style of Hong Kong Island. The whole journey is about 8.5 kilometers. Access: Exit A3 of Shau Kei Wan MTR Station - 》 Bus No. 9 at Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminal / Red minibus to Shek O - 〉 Alight at Tu Ti Wan on Shek O Road

#WinterTravel --address Dragon's Ridge Hiking ——Transportation Go to Shau Kei Wan MTR Station Exit A3 and change to Bus No. 9 ——Features This route can be said to be suitable for beginners, children, and the advantage is that there are many hiking friends along the way, not afraid of getting lost, and very safe because there are many people walking with you. I took the most classic route this time. I changed from Shau Kei Wan MTR Station to bus No. 9 and got off at Tu Tui Wan. It was quite fast. At first the climb is not very steep, there will be a small section of flat road to rest, soon walk to the first observation deck of Dragon Ridge, and then walk about half an hour to nine words has reached the top. Then walk along the road to the other side of the top of the mountain,  in the middle of the way to see people playing paragliding very happy, then the hiking route is very clear, when going down the slope, a small part of the road will have sand and gravel, walk have to be careful. Then there is a very comfortable shade of trees along the way down the hill. Walk for about an hour and a half to get to the foot of the hill. You can choose to take the No. 9 bus back to Shau Kei Wan MTR Station, or walk another half an hour down to Chai Wan to eat. #LocalTour #Winter Travelogue #station writer #countryside #local tour #where to go in December

The final section of the Hong Kong Trail is a winding trail on the Dragon's Back ridge which is widely lauded as one of the best urban hikes in Hong Kong. Despite its catchy name, Dragon's Back has a recreational platform near its summit that provides spectacular views of the southern region of Hong Kong Island and its coastline. Right at the end of the trail is Big Wave Bay. You can swim or surf to complete this hiking activity in a relaxed manner. From Sheik O Road, you will first walk through a leafy path to a section of the Hong Kong Trail. After a minute of walking, the path opens to the sky as you climb up. After 20 minutes or so, you'll arrive at Shek O Peninsula Viewing Point with views of Shek O Beach at the foot of the hill, as well as the two islands off the Shek O Peninsula. Despite being open and exposed, the platform at the end of Shek O Peak (284 m) is the best place to get a panoramic view of the peninsula's coastline. As you turn around to observe the winding paths, you'll finally understand why the name Dragon's Back deserves it. Stay on the bumpy ridge to find “dragons” as you climb. Stop at Dragon's Back Hike Viewing Point for panoramic views of Tai Tam Bay west of the Shek O Peninsula. On a clear day, even Lamma Island in southwest Hong Kong Island is visible from the deck. After crossing the ridge, you'll arrive at Pottinger Gap. Here you will see Chai Wan high-rise buildings with wooded landscapes. After passing through a pavilion, you will pass steep descents on cobblestones and uneven dirt roads. The very end of the trail is very shady and sometimes slippery. Once you get off the trail and past the locals' houses, a beach popular with surfers awaits. Bayakan Big Wave Beach welcomes you with sparkling white waves against a blue sky. #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Anyone in Hong Kong should have heard of Dragon's Spine Dragon Ridge Because compared to other hiking routes is relatively simple and the scenery is quite beautiful so many people hiking in Hong Kong will choose Dragon Ridge as long as Shau Kei Wan take the bus one way to reach Although it is said to be a novice hiking route, most of the sections of Dragon Ridge are more open and have many stairs so apply sunscreen and be prepared before going Dragon Ridge was once selected as one of the best hiking routes in Hong Kong Unfortunately, because more and more people go hiking and do not love the environment

We are traveling because we need it. This was our second day in Hong Kong and still haven’t decided yet where to go though we already have an itinerary. Thanks to Justelle for sharing his Hong Kong quick escapade (super budget-friendly literally!). Public transportation in Hong Kong is superb! HOW TO GET DRAGON'S BACK 1. From TST Station ride MTR bound to Central (Red Lane) and then drop to Admiralty Station. 2. From Admiralty Station connect to Chai Wan (Blue lane - 4.5 HKD) and then drop at Shaw Kei Wan Station and follow Exit A3.  3. Take bus 9 at Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminal to To Tei Wan, Shek O Road. (Jump off) I brought an extra shirt and swimwear because based on my research Stanley Beach is near Shek O Road. But due to cold weather, we decided to go home instead. The driver will notify you when you are already in the jump-off area. Travel time from Shau Kei Wan to Shek O Road is about 30 minutes.  You can visit Stanley Beach after your hike at least to refresh there. In our scenario, we weren't able to visit the beach since it's already late, and also the temperature in Hong Kong dropped to 14'c. (Please refrain from eating or drinking in any public transportation (bus, ferry, and train) unless you want to pay their fine. Eating and drinking in any public transportation are strictly prohibited.) #dragonsback #hongkong #hongkongmountain  #seasidephotoguide#naturalwonders

This moderate hike takes you along a scenic ridge with panoramic views of Shek O, Big Wave Bay, and the South China Sea—a perfect reward for your efforts. Walking along the winding path, I felt a sense of serenity and adventure, with the cool sea breeze making the climb even more enjoyable. The trail is easily accessible from Shau Kei Wan MTR (take bus 9 to To Tei Wan), and the entire trek takes around 2 to 3 hours. Finish your journey with a dip at Big Wave Bay Beach or enjoy a seafood feast at Shek O. Whether you’re a nature lover or just need a break from the city, this hike is an unforgettable experience!

#favouriteitinerary #travelanywhere Our first hike in Hong Kong had to be an unforgettable experience, so we set our sights on one of the city’s most renowned trails—Dragon’s Back. This 8.5km ridge hike, winding through Shek O Country Park and culminating at the shores of Big Wave Bay, promised breathtaking coastal vistas, lush greenery, and a rewarding challenge. The adventure began at Shau Kei Wan MTR Station, where we hopped on the No. 9 minibus for a scenic 30-minute ride to To Tei Wan, the gateway to Dragon’s Back. As we stepped onto the trail, a dense canopy of trees enveloped us, the crisp morning air carrying the gentle hum of nature. The path started off easy, a gradual ascent through tranquil woodlands, but as we gained elevation, the landscape transformed, revealing sweeping panoramas of the coastline. The real test of endurance came as we tackled the ascent to Shek O Peak, standing 284 meters above sea level. The climb, though strenuous, was punctuated by moments of awe. Each step brought us closer to a vantage point unlike any other, and as we reached the Dragon’s Back Viewing Point, the effort instantly felt worthwhile. From the ridge, the views were nothing short of spectacular. To the south, the Shek O Peninsula stretched gracefully into the sea, flanked by the rugged D’Aguilar Peak. Below us, the golden sands of Shek O Beach glistened under the sun, while to the west, the vast expanse of Tai Tam Bay shimmered like a painter’s masterpiece. The undulating ridgeline truly resembled the back of a mythical dragon, snaking its way toward the horizon. As we continued along the crest, each viewpoint offered a fresh perspective of Hong Kong’s unparalleled natural beauty. The cool mountain breeze was invigorating, and despite the weekend crowd, the atmosphere remained peaceful. At the final viewing area, a rustic wooden bench awaited—ideal for catching our breath and capturing the moment. The descent was a welcome change of pace, leading us through dense foliage before gradually easing into open terrain. As the sound of crashing waves grew louder, the trail unveiled its final surprise—Big Wave Bay. The sight of surfers riding the rolling tides, the salty sea breeze on our skin, and the soft sand beneath our feet made for the perfect reward after an exhilarating trek. For our first-ever hike in Hong Kong, Dragon’s Back exceeded all expectations. It was a journey of challenge and discovery, where every ascent was met with a view that took our breath away. #citydaytours #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #naturalwonders #thingstodo #seascapes #myitinerary #chinatrip

If you crave to hike Hong Kong is a perfect place for you, various routes from easy to hard are accessible not far away from the city! Dragon’s back is considered to be quite easy one and it’s true! First half of the way is very picturesque, going up the mountain to see the bay from above -magnificent. There are some benches to rest but keep in mind there’s no water supplies so don’t forget to take enough water with you.
