Shek O Country Park, Country park in Southern District, Hong Kong
The 701-hectare park extends along ridgelines from Pottinger Peak to Mount Collinson, featuring dense forests, streams, and coastal paths overlooking the South China Sea.
Established in 1979, the park underwent extensive reforestation efforts following significant vegetation damage during World War II to restore its natural environment.
The Dragon's Back trail within the park represents a central part of Hong Kong's outdoor recreation identity, recognized by Time Magazine Asia for its excellence.
Visitors can access multiple facilities throughout the park, including restrooms, rain shelters, barbecue areas, and designated picnic spots near Big Wave Bay.
The park houses rare plant species such as Buddhist Pine and Blue Japanese Oak, while also serving as a habitat for the newly discovered spider species Uroballus carlei.
