Shek O Peak, Summit and ridge in southern Hong Kong.
Shek O Peak rises 284 meters above sea level, forming the highest point along Dragon's Back trail with views extending across the surrounding coastline.
The mountain served as a strategic observation point during World War II, with remnants of military fortifications still visible near Ngan Hang village.
Local residents maintain traditional practices by releasing paper lanterns from the peak during the Mid-Autumn Festival, creating a display against the night sky.
Hikers can reach the starting point by taking bus number 9 from Shau Kei Wan MTR station to the To Tei Wan stop on Shek O Road.
The peak contains multiple parallel paths that merge at different elevations, allowing climbers to adjust their route difficulty during the ascent.
