Dragon's Back

This morning outing takes you out of the urban into the green hills for a bit of quiet, a workout, and spectacular views. Included on the way is an introduction to an ordinary fresh food street market and small shops in an ordinary neighbourhood of Hong Kong. Itinerary: Start this half-day outing to Hong Kong’s Dragon’s Back trail early in the morning to get the first light of the day. Take in the atmosphere of a local wet market, and experience life of ordinary Hong Kongers as they go about their daily activities. The hike commences along a lovely cool path through shady groves of bamboo and lush woodland, accompanied by birdsong. Emerge into open hillsides of the spectacular Shek O Country Park, often covered with wild azaleas, bell flowers or rose myrtle. The rugged spinal ridge of Dragon's Back offers breathtaking views of distant Islands, the coastlines, and beaches. The trail ends at the road to nearby Shek O Village and Beach. You may transfer back to Central with the guide or decide to explore Shek O on your own.
