  This must be one of the most popular hiking routes in Hong Kong as it is easily reachable in the city and is just an easy walk of about 1.5 hrs.

  Moderately difficult hike, need hiking shoes or sneakers. No flip flops. Reward is serene views of the sea and on a good day the outlying islands. Can be busy on weekends

Starting up from the Bus stop, actually the majority of the climbing is in the first... More

  The hike is fabulous. It is not very difficult but the view is amazing. Takes about 2 hours. Do visit the Shek O beach after the hike since it is very close.

  A wonderful hike. The dragon's back is not too difficult. This hike offers great scenary of Hong Kong. Be for a short stay or for someone who moves to Hong Kong, It should be on your to do list!

  I was determined not to stay inside my lovely air conditioned room and explore some beautiful areas of Hong Kong. I left my hotel at 6:30am in order to reach the starting entrance for Dragon's Back early morning, in the hope that the slightly cooler temperature would make a massive difference. You can reach Dragons Back by taking the MTR... More

  A popular trail that can be a bit busy. I think it is medium strenuous primarily due to heat and humidity. Expect about two-three hours so take a liter or more of water. Rocky and some slick spots so decent shoes recommend.
