    Well maintained, clean air, it's better to bring some water, no shop at the mountain.

    The "dragon's back" trail is easily accessible by route no. 9 bus at both ends, offers excellent view, and suitable for beginner hikers. Recommended.

    Beautiful rock beach, easily accessible just a short 10-15 minute walk away from the Shek O bus 9 bus stop. Lots of boulders for rock climbers to climb as well! There is a bit of trash in certain areas but volunteers have come to clean the beach up recently. The headland area is very nice as well though the hiking path is a little overgrown.

  • 5/5 Boon Ho C. 5 years ago on Google • 180 reviews
    Overall rating would be very satisfied. Would definitely recommend to hike this place. It is easy hiking route. We hike around March 2019 period which also raining and windy season. Temperature between 16-21 degree. It was very chilling due to strong wind, cold temperature and cloudy throughout entire journey. The entire journey takes about 2 and half from Dragon's back to when O peak and then to Big Wave Beach (with stop) During the hike, we are lucky that there are no direct sunlight because it will be very hot and most probably will get sunburn because the route is mostly expose to sun due to no big trees around. Please make sure to apply sunblock is hike going near noon and it is not cloudy.

    We have done the Dragons back hike. It is really wonderful! We advice you to take a bus number 9 and go until the stop To Tei Wan, from there you can directly go up. Once on the top, the main hiking path goes to the left, but if you have spare half an hour, go first to the right to enjoy wonderful views from rocks. Then, you follow the main path to the left. But be careful with time, the first exist will be in a couple of hours. Take water with you!

    Beautiful park! Did the dragons back hike and then on to Big Wave Bay Beach. Some steep sections, but very doable, and nice views! Quite a few people on a Saturday, but not overly busy. We ended up taking a taxi there & back as the queue for the 9 bus was very long. Bring swimming gear to cool down in the sea after the hike!

    (Translated by Google) There is a beach in this place, and the nearby buildings are said to be suitable for taking pictures (but I didn't see it too much, maybe I don't know how to appreciate it). The water quality feels fairly clear, and you can come here to escape the heat in summer. (Original) 這個地方有個沙灘,附近的建築據說很適合拍照(但其實我沒太看出來,可能是不懂欣賞吧)。水質感覺還算清澈,夏天可以到這避暑。

    For all you hiking or sightseeing lovers - this country park is a must visit. Shek O grants you a free view of the sunrise - if you’re lucky to get a clear day. Beaches populate the region - and Big Wave Bay is another one of those that you cannot overlook with all those surfing opportunities only in Hong Kong. Lastly walk the Lover’s Bridge which got a makeover this decade.

  • 4/5 Ritesh (. 6 years ago on Google • 64 reviews
    A good hike and stunning views. Just avoid overcast days. It's worth getting to the Dragon's Back. It's a medium difficulty hike, carry enough water and some snacks. The bus stops right where you start the hike, so it couldn't be any more convenient to get to!

  • 5/5 Owen E. 6 years ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Nice quick hike, well sign posted route. On the way to the dragons back can be quite uphill in places. Pack plenty of supplies as there are no facilities on the way. Excellent views from the dragons back peak.

    Dragon's back is a very nice hike and one of the easiest hike in Hong Kong. It ends on Big Wave bay beach. It's worth it. A very nice place to hangout with friends and family. You can check out some pics which I have attached here too.

    A easy hiking trail to get some fresh air in the Hong Kong Island. It leads the way to Ms. Willy the whale. Remember to watch the radio array at the cape.

  • 4/5 Dickman Y. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I have planned n times, and have made many appointments. I was forced to cancel the plan to go to the "Dragon's Back" mountain because of rain, wind, and sudden overheating. In short, for various reasons. Today is a weekday, and I finally managed to reach the "Dragon's Back" in Shangli. It is known as the most beautiful hiking trail in Hong Kong. The scenery can be considered beautiful, but to be honest, the road is really not good. There are also many tree roots protruding, so it's easy to hold firewood, twist one's foot and fall, and there are no supply stations and toilets along the way. After all, I can ask you to go again, there will be more flat hiking paths to choose from (Original) 計劃過n次、亦都約過好多次,有被落雨、打風、突然超熱,總之種種原因, 被迫取消去『龍脊』 行山嘅計劃。 今日系平日,終於都成功行到上黎『龍脊』, 一個被譽為香港最靚嘅行山徑,景都可以係算靚,但老實講,路確實唔好行,凹凹凸凸好多石、亦都好多樹根凸起,好容易拗柴、扭親隻腳跌親,沿途亦都冇補給站,冇廁所。總算嚟過,之後可以唔使再次黎,會有更多平坦的行山路徑可選擇

  • 5/5 Puwitch C. 4 years ago on Google
    Not too hard, using about 2 hours from To Tai Wan to Tai Tam Gap (not to Big wave beach). Every people looking for peaceful place should try.
