A little more than two weeks ago, I posted my first Dragon's Back photo-essay. For those who enjoyed it, here are more photos. Again, apologies for the haze in some of them -- but, hey, they still do give a fairly good sense of what's out there to be seen when out hiking in the (relative) wilds of Hong Kong, right? :)
"Better to be safe than sorry"appears to be the Hong Kong authorities'
approach to many matters, including hiking!
This being said, sometimes they dohave a point there... :b
Different types of vegetation --including, I imagine, those planted by humans
along with others that are more natural
-- along the Dragon's Back
Hazy but still panoramic view that takes inluxury housing on the Red Hill Peninsula
and -- in the distance, over on the right --
the big and beautiful Tai Tam Reservoir
Every once in a while, I'd pause to catch my breath, look around and take photos,
including of nearby things as well as scenic vistas
A small waterfall that we passed byearly in our hike (which,
for those wishing to replicate it,
started near the prison at Mount Collinson)
As I told my hike companions,these look like the kind of nuts and acorns
that Totoro likes! ;b
Speaking of my friendly hike companions: There they are, walking ahead of me, in this final photo... :)

Looks like a place I'd venture to hike.
Hi Willow --
If you're into hiking, I'd highly recommend checking out the Dragon's Back. :)
Great photos, love the waterfall!
Looks like a fun hike. Enjoyed the photo mix of 'scenic vistas' and 'up close and personal' shots of nature & your friends. Great acorn photo!
Hi a. --
Thanks and am glad you like the waterfall. Funnily enough, it was one of the photos I was swithering between posting (versus another that didn't make the cut)!
Hi sbk --
Figured you, of all this blog's visitors, would particularly appreciate that acorn photo... ;)
