Today we hiked along the 'Dragon's Back' ridge trail on HK island to Shek O beach. In China landscapes are described in dragon forms. Many of mountains or hills together resemble a dragon's back (Kowloon actually means 'nine dragons'). This treck is listed as one of the worlds top urban hiking trails. It's experience level was supposedly high, but I think this was only due to the fact that unlike most other trails in HK this one was not paved. I caved in to the HK women's tradition of using umbrella's for shade, because it was just too hot. The views from the top were fantastic. Shek O beach on one side, stanley on the other. After the hike we had some yummy Thai food before sleeping on the beach for an hour :)
