Insider's Guide To Hong Kong

Take a break from bustling streets and skyscrapers to hike in nature. You don’t have to head out of Hong Kong for this. Dragon’s Back is a scenic hike in the territory itself. It was recommended as one of the best hikes in urban Hong Kong by Time magazine in 2004. Lace up your sneakers, stock up on healthy munchies, and look dapper in your hat as you challenge yourself in the outdoors to hike to feel on top of the world.

The beauty of Dragon’s Back is that the views change at every vantage point. Start with watching one of the pristine beaches while you thread along forested paths and proceed to gaze at insta-perfect islands and a coastal panorama as you elevate uphill along winding paths with fresh, crisp air giving you company. Don’t miss the hovering migratory birds, the enthusiastic parasailor, the Shek O Beach, Shek O Peninsula and Tai Tam Bay.

Let the peeking urban buildings remind you from time to time that this hiking paradise is within civilisation. Big Wave Bay greets you on the completion of this 8.5km trail. Dragon’s Back takes an average of four hours and is of a moderate grade level. Time your hike in such a way that you get to watch either the sunrise or the sunset from up there.

ENJOY A DRIN KAT PDT (PLEASE DON’T TELL)

IT’S PRIVATE. It’s exotic. It’s got luxury stirred in all its cocktails. It’s PDT (Please Don’t Tell), a cocktail bar located at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental. The legendary New York’s cocktail bar, PDT has its Asian collaboration with this bar.
