Dragon’s Back, Hong Kong

　　Dragon’s Back is situated southeast of Hong Kong Island on High West. Beneath it is Shek O, with views eastward to the Tathong Channel and westward to Tai Tam Harbour, the Red Hill Peninsula, and Stanley Main Beach all in sight. The hill stands at an elevation of 284 meters.

　　The hiking trail up Dragon’s Back is not difficult. Though there aren’t many large trees for shade along the way, there are occasional small bamboo groves that offer some cover. There are also large rocks and benches on the hill where you can rest. From Dragon’s Back, you can enjoy a full view of Shek O and clearly see the golf course. Starting from To Tei Wan, hikers can choose one of three main exit points: Big Wave Bay, Cape Collinson (Siu Sai Wan), or Tai Tam Reservoir — all very convenient.

　　This area has a subtropical climate with relatively high temperatures year-round. The average annual temperature is 22.8°C. Summers are hot and humid, with temperatures ranging between 26–30°C. Winters are cool and dry, though temperatures rarely drop below 5°C. The period from May to September is rainy, and July to September sees more typhoons in Hong Kong.
