DRAGON’S BACK HIKE
WILD FACTOR
★★★☆☆
Arguably the best hike on Hong Kong Island, the Dragon’s Back is a classic trail that combines many of the area’s finest attributes.
From mountain ridges and sheltered forrest trails to the white sands of Tai Long Wan (Big Wave Bay), it’s no surprise the Dragon’s Back was hailed by Time Magazine as Asia’s best urban hike. Navigating the undulating ridge that resembles a dragon’s back, one is rewarded with stunning views of southern Hong Kong Island and its surrounds.
Then descend through shaded pathways before reaching Big Wave Bay. There one can jump in and have a swim or rent a board for a surf. Perhaps relaxing by the beachside is more your style? Enjoying a nourishing meal and refreshing beverage would be the perfect way to cap off an awesome day!
This an all year round hike and can be enjoyed in most weather conditions. Particularly great on sunny days or days with good visibility. Best during the autumn months.
