The length of the hike is a mere 4.5 km and can be completed in 2 to 2.5 hours.<br \/>\nHere are some pictures.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2748\/4089888500_3d270beabd.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" alt=\"IMG_8872\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2564\/4089890204_470660f69b.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" alt=\"IMG_8873\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2703\/4089895062_9dfba24d08.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"IMG_8877\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2502\/4089899958_fe11e280b9.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" alt=\"IMG_8880\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nTo get to the start of the hike, take the MTR to Shau Kei Wan Station and get out at Exit A3. From there, take bus 9 or a taxi. Then get off at Cape Collinson bus stop. The bus will pass a wooded hillside, then a tiny roundabout. Alight at the stop just after this. The end of the hike will take you to Shek O Road. Then make your way on foot to To Tei Wan village (there are signs to sign post it). From there, take a bus back to Central or Shek O village. I&#8217;d recommend going to Shek O to have a look at a more laid-back area of Hong Kong Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon&#8217;s Back (\u9f8d\u810a) is one of the most famous hiking trails in Hong Kong and it&#8217;s an easy trail to walk.
