Description

This iconic Southside hike offers spectacular views of the Shek O mansions, beautiful beaches and the glistening South China Sea. The trail gets its unique and powerful name from the hilltop’s undulations. It is ideal for visitors and is one of the most popular hikes on the Island. It is, however, quite busy on weekend and the walk can drag on a little towards the end. But, the finishing point at Tai Long Wan, better known as Big Wave Bay, makes it all worth it. Make sure you keep an eye out for the turning off the ridge and down to the bay and don’t forget to bring your swimsuit!

Useful info

Distance: 8.5 km
Duration: Three hours
How to get there: Take a taxi or, from Exit A3 at Shau Kei Wan MTR station, take bus 9 to To Tei Wan on Shek O Road. The hike starts up the stairs as soon as you get off the bus.
