STAGE EIGHT - TO TEI WAN TO TAI LONG WAN (DRAGON'S BACK)
Start: We usually walk this backwards, starting at Chai Wan (and
missing out the last part to Big Wave Bay). Walk out of Chai Wan MTR exit A and
up through cemetery. (not particularly well signposted, you may need to ask a
friendly grave-digger)
Easier Start: Alternatively, take a taxi from Chai Wan MTR to the Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institute on Shek O road and miss out the first hill.
End: Ends on the Shek O road. You can catch a bus back to central or take minibus to Shek O for a meal at the Thai (or one of the many other restaurants there) and get a bus or minibus back to Central from there
Time: 2.5 hours
Difficulty: A good walk for beginners. Steep hill up through cemetery (which you can miss out if you get a taxi to the prison instead), and then nice gently undulating walk looking down over Shek O. At weekends you can often see people paragliding and flying model aeroplanes and kites off the steep hills.
