Clear sky for thousands of miles, beautiful scenery in sight!

If you ask for the most recommended hiking route in Hong Kong, Dragon's Back is definitely one of them. If the weather is good, the scenery will be greatly enhanced. Longji has long been a famous hiking route. Once selected by Lonely Planet as one of the best hiking trails in Hong Kong and also recommended by CNN Travel as a hiking route. When you reach the top of the Longji Rice Terraces, you will feel that it is well worth it. The broad view allows you to overlook the magnificent scenery at your feet, with the vast blue Tang Strait as the expansive background, dotted with green golf matches and orange-roofed houses. The peculiarly shaped Shek O Peninsula and the clear water and fine sand of Shek O Beach may make you feel that the trip is worthwhile as soon as you see the scenery in front of you. Go further ahead through the ups and downs, and follow the mountain path that runs along the sea like a dragon's spine. The difficulty is not great, you can walk easily and handle everything with ease. From different perspectives, you can see the same magnificent scenery of Stanley, Red Hill Peninsula, Donglong Island, Putai Island, Lamma Island, Tai Tam Reservoir, and Tai Long Wan, all presented before your eyes one by one. The first impression of Hong Kong to people is probably a city of steel and concrete with towering buildings. Shopping or eating and drinking may be the only things to do, but in fact, most of Hong Kong's land area belongs to the countryside. For nearly three years, everyone has been trapped in Hong Kong with nowhere to go. The greatest pastime is to go hiking, and it's also because of this period of time. Let many people, no matter how long they have lived in this city, Or people who have just arrived in this city. Discovered that Hong Kong still has many beautiful scenery and Longji is definitely one not to be missed! Transportation: Take bus No. 9 from the bus terminal after exiting from Exit A of Shau Kei Wan MTR station to the Tai Tan Wan stop, where you will find the entrance to the Dragon's Back hiking trail. On the way back, you will pass a fork in the road, one side goes to Tai Long Wan and the other goes to Shek O Road. If it's your first time hiking Dragon's Back or if you have good physical strength, you can go to Tai Long Wan. I went to Shek O Road this time and walked for a few minutes before returning to the road to take the No. 9 bus or minibus back to Shau Kei Wan Station!
