Hike the Dragon's Back

A 2-3 hour hiking trail with spectacular views of the south of Hong Kong Island. The ridge has little shade and you should take a lot of water and protection in summer. The path then drops into forests and creeks, before emerging at Big Wave Bay, where you can swim, eat, drink and return on the same number 9 bus.

Getting there

take the number 9 bus from Shau Kei Wan MTR Station, to just after the small roundabout at Tai Tam Gap - the actual bus stop is called "To Tei Wan". Walk up the steps by the "Shek-O Country Park" sign and turn right along the Hong Kong Trail
