Hong Kong is remarkable because you can step from busy urban areas into peaceful countryside in minutes. That's particularly true for the Dragon's Back trail.
This trail is the city's finest and most surprising ramble and you're so close to the city, but could hardly feel farther away.
Once you leave Wong Nei Chung Gap and enter the Tai Tam Park, this is rural walking at its best.
Among the most popular attractions featured in Tai Tam park are the 4 Water Reservoirs that were the key water storage facilities of the Island in the early years, known as the Tai Tam Group;
Built between 1889 and 1917, these reservoirs have an aggregate capacity of 9 million m3.
Also found in the park; remnants of war, such as forts, magazines and wartime communal stoves.
