The Dragon's Back

I have met a lot of awesome people in Hong Kong so far. One of these awesome people is Anika from McGill. The other night we decided to organize a hiking group to go hike the Dragon's Back on HK Island. So yesterday at 10AM, a bunch of exchange students headed out for a nature adventure.

The Dragon's Back has gorgeous views of both the city and the beaches. Everyone in the group had their cameras out taking pictures of the beautiful vistas.







But the best thing that could have happened to us yesterday was getting lost. We made a wrong turn so our 2 hour hike turned into a 4 hour hike. But it was totally worth it because we found this awesome secluded beach town called Big Wave Bay. It's actually known for its good surfing and while we were there we watched old British men catch some waves.




This is an ancient rock carving. No one knows who made it and why. If you look closely you can see the carvings. 



Want to hike it yourself?
From MTR Shau Kei Wan Station Exit A3, take bus 9 at Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminus to To Tei Wan, Shek O Road.
