[2024 Hong Kong ] Travel Guide for Dragon's Back (Updated Sep)

🥾🇭🇰 Hiking in Hong Kong 🇭🇰🥾

We completed the coastal path around Hong Kong Island! Totalling 65km, it took us 3 days. Fantastic experience to explore the variety that the island has to offer. The views were spectacular, of both natural and urban scenery. Some highlights were Repulse beach (quite the opposite of repulsive), Kennedy town, and the Dragon's Back trail. Most of the coastal path is on the actual coast, but some stretches require a detour inland. There was a lot of building work happening in the north west of the island, presumably when finished will improve the path in that area. Top tips: Pre-planning accommodation is essential. Plenty of public toilets on the route. Public transport is also VERY efficient if needed. Highly recommend the walk, we thoroughly enjoyed it. #cherryblossom2024 #hongkong #trekking #coastalwalk #trip #asia #mytravelhacks

360° degree sea view scenery! 🌄

Dragon's Back is such an awesome name for one of the most popular hiking trails in HK! This hill is not that high, only 352 m. It's an easy hiking trail suitable for everyone. Expecting duration to climb up is 3 hours. This place is magnificent, and there are pretty good reasons for that. First of all, I like wild roads and this trail has it, except for some stairs, which are mostly from the beginning of the road. When you reach the top, you can enjoy an outstanding sea view from both sides and there are big horizons over there where you can enjoy the sightseeing wild nature with no buildings around. You can notice some beautiful birds over there, the sea, islands, beaches, etc. I fully recommend you if you have to bring binoculars so you can enjoy such a superb 360-degree view. Also, this hill is perfect for picnics, there are even some benches over there. The spring can be windy on the top, just to fulfill the moment of enjoyment. So if you are in Hong Kong and you want to hike, find a way to the Shek O beach, which can lead you to the Dragon's Back hiking trail, and when you reach the top, everything that I said here will make perfect sense for you there! #mytripvlog #tripblazers #hikingtrails #bucketlistreboot #2023travelwish

Another side of Dragons Back

I went to hike Dragon’s back on a cloudy day. I was a bit disappointed with the views but it was still nice to be outside. It was also very easy to get there by bus! Just catch the number 9 bus from Shau Kei Wan MTR station. The trail got a bit too slippery for me with the mud so I turned around and took the bus to Shell O country park, which is typically the end of the Dragon’s Back hike. I ended up exploring the cemeteries there! They are huge and span the hillside. There are Chinese cemeteries further up and a Muslim cemetery further down the mountain. Walking through them took me right back into town to get the bus back to downtown.#Cemeteries

Slay the dragon

The Dragon’s Back (Traditional Chinese: 龍脊) is a ridge in southeastern Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, between Wan Cham Shan and Shek O Peak. It lies within the Shek O Country Park. In 2004 the Dragon’s Back Trail was selected by TIME Asia as the best urban hiking trail. Dragons back is possibly the most well-known and well-travelled hike in HK. This is due to its easy terrain, convenient start and end point, it’s proximity to the beaches and of course it’s breath-taking views. was instantly surprised by how busy this was compared to other trails I’ve been to in HK. But it was a sunny Sunday and the temperature was perfect, so I guess local people just thought why not?! Start the Dragons Back Hong Kong along Shek O Road, just a 20-minute drive from Central Hong Kong. Either take a taxi or you can take no.9 bus from Shau Kei Wan MTR station, and stop at the bus stop at To Tei Wan Village. The entrance to the Dragon’s Back is right at the bus stop and is highlighted with a large sign and map The trail starts (and ends) very easily. It’s not difficult terrain and it’s quite casual to hike, even a beginner could do this I feel. After around 30 mins it was time for lunch. Vincent advised us to eat first and check out the views second. However, a few of us climbed the rocks to get some good photos and soak in the vista below. Much to our horror the lunch was almost gone. Lesson learned, next time have lunch first! It’s a funny story to tell at least and it didn’t really affect the day in anyway. After lunch came the bulk of the walk. Some stairs, some trail. All well-defined and easy to navigate, we soon began making great profess. The only problem was how slow some people are in front of us. Traffic jam on the mountain! Along the route there are numerous majestic photo opportunities and views of the vista below you. Beaches, oceans and even villas. The views are seared into my brain for all eternity. The top side of dragons back continue to give good views and good breeze from 360 degrees. However, as you descend the views disappear. With trees on both side of the trail, you cannot really see much and the 2nd half of the hike was a bit disappointing. The highlight being a refreshing stream to wash our faces and drink. Clean and healthy! After defeating the dragon, you end at Big Wave Bay. Still recovering from the devastation of the typhoon, this a popular haven for water sport fanatics with surfers and wind surfers out in force. The beach was clean and spacious, the other beach goers not giving us a second look and just going about their business. My opinion is that Big Wave Bay is a bit boring if you don’t go in the water. I’ve never been a beach lover and I didn’t bring a swim suit, so I quickly got bored. With little to see here I was happy to move onto Shek O village #hkinsider #hongkong

Admiring the Back of the Dragon 🐲🐉

Such a beautiful day with a beautiful view 🤩 This trail is considered moderate and it took us more than 2 hours to complete it. What I love 😍 the most is the trail mostly unpaved which is make it more natural and fresh In the beginning, it's quite steep and then up and down moderately. It's just amazing to walk along the dragon's back while enjoying the breathtaking view and taking a deep breath of fresh air, along the way 🥰 This is the perfect hiking 🥾 How to get there? From Shau Kei Wan MTR exit A2, take the minibus to Dragon's Back/Shek O, don't forget to tell the driver that you'll be getting off the Dragon's Back. #bucketlistreboot #awesomepic #hikingtrails

DRAGON'S BACK

The final section of the Hong Kong Trail is a winding trail on the Dragon's Back ridge which is widely lauded as one of the best urban hikes in Hong Kong. Despite its catchy name, Dragon's Back has a recreational platform near its summit that provides spectacular views of the southern region of Hong Kong Island and its coastline. Right at the end of the trail is Big Wave Bay. You can swim or surf to complete this hiking activity in a relaxed manner. From Sheik O Road, you will first walk through a leafy path to a section of the Hong Kong Trail. After a minute of walking, the path opens to the sky as you climb up. After 20 minutes or so, you'll arrive at Shek O Peninsula Viewing Point with views of Shek O Beach at the foot of the hill, as well as the two islands off the Shek O Peninsula. Despite being open and exposed, the platform at the end of Shek O Peak (284 m) is the best place to get a panoramic view of the peninsula's coastline. As you turn around to observe the winding paths, you'll finally understand why the name Dragon's Back deserves it. Stay on the bumpy ridge to find “dragons” as you climb. Stop at Dragon's Back Hike Viewing Point for panoramic views of Tai Tam Bay west of the Shek O Peninsula. On a clear day, even Lamma Island in southwest Hong Kong Island is visible from the deck. After crossing the ridge, you'll arrive at Pottinger Gap. Here you will see Chai Wan high-rise buildings with wooded landscapes. After passing through a pavilion, you will pass steep descents on cobblestones and uneven dirt roads. The very end of the trail is very shady and sometimes slippery. Once you get off the trail and past the locals' houses, a beach popular with surfers awaits. Bayakan Big Wave Beach welcomes you with sparkling white waves against a blue sky. #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

We are traveling because we need it. This was our second day in Hong Kong and still haven’t decided yet where to go though we already have an itinerary. Thanks to Justelle for sharing his Hong Kong quick escapade (super budget-friendly literally!). Public transportation in Hong Kong is superb! HOW TO GET DRAGON'S BACK 1. From TST Station ride MTR bound to Central (Red Lane) and then drop to Admiralty Station. 2. From Admiralty Station connect to Chai Wan (Blue lane - 4.5 HKD) and then drop at Shaw Kei Wan Station and follow Exit A3.  3. Take bus 9 at Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminal to To Tei Wan, Shek O Road. (Jump off) I brought an extra shirt and swimwear because based on my research Stanley Beach is near Shek O Road. But due to cold weather, we decided to go home instead. The driver will notify you when you are already in the jump-off area. Travel time from Shau Kei Wan to Shek O Road is about 30 minutes.  You can visit Stanley Beach after your hike at least to refresh there. In our scenario, we weren't able to visit the beach since it's already late, and also the temperature in Hong Kong dropped to 14'c. (Please refrain from eating or drinking in any public transportation (bus, ferry, and train) unless you want to pay their fine. Eating and drinking in any public transportation are strictly prohibited.) #dragonsback #hongkong #hongkongmountain  #seasidephotoguide#naturalwonders

Dragon's Back mini hike

Was not expecting the hike to be very short but still turns out to be a fast and easy hike overall. Weather was very good and cooling about 25 degrees in the afternoon. I did not start from the common start point I think. Had to cut through a cemetry with loads of staircase to climb. Pure steep climb for about 15 minutes almost out of breath! For easier path, Follow the slope of Cape Collinson Road. Started late so did not went all the way to Cave D'Aguilar. Looped back at the Peak. #hongkongisland #dragonbacktrail #dragonback #nature #greatview #peak #sheko #hikingtrail

Departing from Guangzhou, the 18-grid can't fit the beauty of Guilin

➡️Seeing many little friends who went on a trip being pit We did enough strategy before we set off, so the overall feeling of this Guangxi trip is still very good! Day1⃣️:Guangzhou South Station-Guilin North Station-East West Lane-Longji Terrace ✅East West Lane (Pass by and take a look, no need to go on purpose) ✅Longji Terrace⭐⭐⭐⭐ For me who has never seen terraces, it is a very worthwhile attraction! The temperature difference between day and night is quite large, you need to bring a jacket when you go!!! Especially when you get up in the morning, the distant fog reveals a bit of golden. The scenery is very beautiful!! Seeing is believing! Transportation: The reservation is a direct bus to the terraces, about 3h by car, 90r/person round trip. Accommodation We chose to live near Jinkeng Dazhai, the booked homestay has a shuttle service, and you can see the terraces when you open the curtains outside the room! The owner of the homestay knew that we were going to take pictures and recommended a clothing rental shop for us, only 15r/set!! Dining: Choose to solve it in the homestay, you can try bamboo tube rice, quite characteristic Day2⃣️Longji Terrace-Yangshuo-West Street ✅West Street We chose to return at noon the next day, took a direct bus to Yangshuo, stayed near West Street, a double room was only 66/night, and there was a mountain behind the hotel, which was particularly amazing~ Don't eat beer fish on West Street for dinner❌ We ate dry mixed snail powder! It's particularly cost-effective, a large bowl for six or seven dollars‼️ Day3⃣️Xianggong Mountain-Yulong River Bamboo Raft-Xingping Ancient Town-Ten Mile Gallery Cycling-20 Yuan Scenic Spot Check-in ✅Xianggong Mountain⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ticket is 60 yuan, and a ride-hailing driver was arranged to pick up and drop off, a total of 120 yuan. When I saw the sun slowly rising from the east, I felt the charm of Guangxi's mountains and rivers. It can be said that this is the best feeling spot of this trip💯 ✅Yulong River Bamboo Raft⭐⭐⭐⭐ We chose the route from Shuiyedi Wharf to Gongnong Bridge, 300 yuan for two rafts. When we were in the scenic area, we shared a raft with others. Lying on the bamboo raft and listening to the song, passing through the mountains with different shapes on both sides, the three of us unanimously thought that the money was worth it!! ✅Xingping Ancient Town Passed by when going to the Lijiang River, I personally think there is no need to spend too much time in this ancient town. ✅Ten Mile Gallery:⭐⭐⭐ You can rent an electric car and ride along the Ten Mile Gallery, you can bargain!!! We spent about 50 yuan for two cars ✅20 yuan scenic spot⭐⭐⭐ This is the last attraction of the journey. Because I was wearing Hanfu, I rented a bamboo raft in the river for 80 yuan to take pictures (this is the luxurious expenditure in the poor travel) 💕In Guilin for three days, basically eating snail powder in different small shops! So the expenditure on meals is not large, Guilin taxis are not expensive, so all travel is by online car-hailing, everyone is very happy in three days, no pits! Guilin is really fun! Go again next time‼️ 🚫Finally, we went to Guangxi in the middle of the month. If you want to go to the terraces, remember to pay attention to the harvest time of the terraces!!
