Dragon's Back Ridge Hike: Hong Kong's Finest Coastal Trail

Trek the crown jewel of Hong Kong's hiking network — a ridge walk with jaw-dropping views of the South China Sea, Shek O village, and emerald islands below. Once voted Asia's best urban hike, it's bucket-list from the first step.

What to expect

Your guide collects you and drives to the Shek O Country Park trailhead. The ridge ascent rewards you almost immediately with sweeping panoramas across the Lamma Channel — a landscape that feels a world away from the city below. At the summit spine, the ridge narrows dramatically with the sea on both flanks. The trail descends into the bohemian Shek O village, where your guide steers you to a superb local seafood lunch. Return transfers are arranged door to pier.
