After spotting a clear day in the forecast, Sam and I made a plan to take advantage after having quite a few rainy days last week. Yesterday, we hiked Dragon's Back, one of Hong Kong's most popular trails. A relatively easy trail, with beautiful 360-degree views and an end at the beach was impossible to pass up on such a gorgeous day.
We took the MTR over to Shau Kei Wan, then took a light bus to the beginning of the trail. We were greeted immediately by some large spiders (about 5" diameter with their legs) in their webs for a reminder to always be on the lookout. As usual, it was 90 degrees and about 90% humidity, but we did our best to protect against the sun and were fairly successful. At the end, I resorted to using the umbrella for cover which I have always thought a silly idea, but completely understand now.
