Luke Hyde heads to Hong Kong Island to hike the Dragon's Back Trail in Shek O Country Park. The 8km route threads along ridgelines and coastal paths, delivering dramatic sea views, green hills, and a relaxed pace suitable for most hikers. Expect moments of open panorama, some light climbs, and plenty of photo opportunities overlooking Hong Kong’s southern coastline. A great day trip option for travelers who want nature close to the city without long travel times.

Luke Hyde takes us to Hong Kong Island for the Dragon's Back Trail, an 8km trek through the scenic Shek O Country Park. The hike blends coastal views, green hillside paths, and a gentle elevation that makes it accessible yet rewarding. Along the way, you’ll pass rugged cliffs, sweeping sea vistas, and the chance to pause at lookouts where on clear days the city skyline and sparkling South China Sea come together.
