Dragon's Back

This guide to Dragon's Back in Hong Kong follows the ridge trail that Time magazine once named Asia's best urban hike, tracing how a forty-minute bus ride from Hong Kong Island delivers you to undulating peaks above Tai Tam Bay and the open South China Sea. It lingers on the strange quiet up here, minutes from one of the world's densest cities, where paragliders and kite hawks share the same warm updrafts. Listen for how the trail sets that hush against the city it left behind.
