The Dragon Back

Another trip courtesy of the Hausers! Today it was a hike along the Dragon's Back, a trail on the southern side of Hong Kong Island. This trail is "the Best Urban Hike" according to TIME magazine and it is only 20 minutes from downtown Hong Kong. Dragon Back is "a ridgetop world of forested uplands and gurgling waterfalls."

But we didn't see any waterfalls, all we saw, especially on top along the ridge, was the same species of shrub! It was fun to hop down the ridge however, with the boys, through more species of trees. And later, at the bottom, they ran up and down the concrete roadsides.

The 5-mile trail starts at To Tei Wan and ends up at Big Wave Bay, where we went swimming recently also with the Hausers.
