Dragon’s Back Hike – February 2021

      Dragon’s Back is the perfect name for this famous hike – listed as one of the 25 best in the world.

            We hiked across the ridge of this mountain top on the south side of Hong Kong Island.

    Every view was breathtaking!  I especially enjoyed the passages were an ocean view was visible on        both sides of the pathway.

       Elder and Sister Sudweeks and Elder and Sister Koeven (of Washington, Utah) joined me for the             adventure as Rick climbed his own mountain of work.


                    We met several wonderful and brave families along the way.

                          Every view was spectacular.  This is looking to the southern islands.

                       Strong winds proved to be an added bonus to the entire experience.

            Sister Sudweeks navigates an easier portion of the uphill trail.

Dongdong and Phoebe joined us early in the hike.  He is from China while she was raised in Hong Kong.  They have been married one year after a six year engagement.  He is in the final year of his PhD program.  We visited for the entire length of the hike.  They had several questions about the church.  We encouraged them to move forward without us but they wanted to stay with our pace.  We parted at day’s end with the promise we’d share photos and emails.  We’ve already heard from them.  Elder Sudweeks continues correspondence with this amazing couple.

The beautiful children hiked and hiked.  They do like Westerners and enjoy practicing their English skills.

Big Wave Beach signaled the end of the hike.  The name is most appropriate.   Our tired bodies watched the big, crashing waves as we waited for the small bus to transport us to the MTR station.
