Hiking to Dragon's Back & Big Wave Beach

I made plans with a few other students to go hiking over the weekend. We wanted to go to Dragon's Back and then to the beach. You can take a bus from the subway station up the mountain. From there, there's a hiking trail that goes up the mountain.

It's about a 15-minute walk, and then you reach a stone platform with a great view of the sea and Shek-O Beach, although we didn't end up going there.

Unfortunately, we took the wrong path and ended up off the main hiking trail. Somehow, we managed to make our way through bushes and over rocks back to the road, and then we went to Big Wave Beach. We definitely earned that refreshing swim.

We had a rice dish on the beach and then took a small shuttle bus back to the subway station.
