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.
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.
