🥾 Hong Kong Dragon Ridge Hiking Route | A classic picnic with beautiful scenery! 🌿

#HongKongIn-Depth Tour The weekend before finally implemented the hiking plan I had been wanting to do for a long time - to hike the Dragon Ridge on Hong Kong Island! Not to mention, after the walk I felt super worth recommending 💯, moderate difficulty, beautiful scenery, and very suitable for photography! ⸻ 🚶♀️ How do we walk? We chose the most popular route: "In Shek O Road - Out of Ta Lang Wan": 📍Start: Shek O Road (take the bus to "Tu Ti Wan" and get off) 🏁 Endpoint: Ta Lang Bay Beach (you can play in the water/enjoy the café after the hike) The whole journey is about 1.5 ~ 2 hours, not too strenuous, at first there are some stairs uphill, but then the open ridge road, beautiful scenery does not feel hard at all! ⸻ 📸 Take pictures of beautiful scenery ✅ Dragon Ridge Observation Deck (after reaching the high position, looking at the whole Shek O Bay is super beautiful) ✅ Boundless view of the ridge grass slope (sunlight, super IGable) ✅ Big Wave Bay Surf Beach (watching people surfing and enjoying coconut water, very holiday feel) ⸻ 🎒 Hiking Tips (My own personal experience sharing) • Shoes must be sneakers/hiking shoes, downhill gravel roads are more slippery • Bring plenty of water! There are no supplies along the way, it is best to bring 1L per person • Hat/sunscreen essential ☀️, the dragon spine has no cover, sun to a pat pat • Avoid walking during periods of heavy midday sun, and it is recommended to start at 8–9 am • Down the hill to Tai Lang Wan there is a toilet + snack kiosk, you can rest before leaving ⸻ 🍴What to eat? After walking we sat in the café in Ta Lang Wan for a while, eating an all day breakfast, super chill ~ If you want to have a formal meal, you can take the bus back to Shau Kei Wan to find food, more choices. ⸻ 💡 Summary of reasons for recommendation ✅ Moderate difficulty (beginners can) ✅ Beautiful and open view, many photo spots ✅ Down the mountain there is a beach chill, super satisfying ✅ Convenient transportation (bus at the beginning, minibus/taxi at the end) ⸻ 📍Recommendation Index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 stars) 🧭 Trip time: about 2 hours (3 hours for slow travel) 💪 Difficulty: 🌶️🌶️ (2/5) ⸻ If you are looking for a not too difficult, relaxing hike, ** Dragon Ridge is really worth a try! ** After walking the mood will be very beautiful ~ ❤️
