Wonderful hike on a piece of the Hong Kong Trail. The Dragon's Back section.

The "Dragon's Back" is a path that connects Wan Cham Shan (226 m) and Shek O Peak (284 m) and extends vertically over the D'Aguilar peninsula. The path runs undulating between these two hilltops and is shaped like the backbone of a kite.

Is about 8 km and it takes between 1: 45-2 hours. At the beginning it is only uphill. You should already have sturdy shoes. I wouldn't go there with flip-flops or sandals. Don't forget sun protection and drinking.

You have a great view of nature and Hong Kong from above. In the end you will be rewarded with small villages and a nice beach.
