Private tour : Hike the Dragon's Spine in Hong Kong

About this activity

Dragon's Back Hike: A gently undulating trail along the “dragon’s spine” with panoramic views of the undulating coastlines, mountains, and down to Shek O village bordering the South China Sea. The trail is an interesting mix of dirt and some rocky sections, but the incline is not so tough and is perfect for photos at every turn. This is one of the world’s best hikes within minutes of the urban area with stunning coastal ridge views on Hong Kong Island. We finish with refreshments at a beachside cafe.

Come hike with me. I'll bring the stories, you bring the curiosity!
