龍脊 (Dragon's Back)

#HongKongHiking

Dragon's Back is undoubtedly one of the most popular and iconic hiking trails in Hong Kong. Its name aptly describes the winding and undulating shape of the ridge, as if a giant dragon is entwined among the mountains. Starting from the starting point of Tudiwan, although the path is slightly uphill, the overall difficulty is not high and it is very suitable for beginners and experienced hikers. The scenery along the way is breathtaking, with views of Shek O, Big Wave Bay and the stunning coastline of southeastern Hong Kong Island. The blue sea and the green mountains complement each other, forming a beautiful picture that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Halfway through the journey, you will reach a viewing platform with a pavilion, which is a great place to rest and take photos. Looking from here, the view is wider and the sea breeze blowing on your face makes you forget your fatigue. Continuing on, you’ll pass through wooded paths and eventually arrive at Big Wave Bay, where the soft sand and clear waters make for a great place to relax after a hike. You can enjoy the sunshine on the beach or taste delicious seafood in the nearby restaurants.
The transportation in Longji is also very convenient, and you can easily reach the starting point and the end point by public transportation. On weekends and holidays, this place is always crowded with people who come to enjoy the beauty of nature, and it is very lively. All in all, Dragon's Back is the first choice for hiking in Hong Kong with its charming scenery, relatively easy difficulty and convenient transportation. It is definitely worth a try.
