West Dogs Teeth (Kau Nga Ling) | Lantau Peak Hike | HardestHike N HongKong w/Fearless Hikers 21620
66WEST DOG’S TEETH RIDGE HIKE DETAILS
Hike Distance: The total distance of the hike for me was 8.77km. However, it will depend on whether you summit Lantau Peak and also on which route you take down from the ridge (or Lantau Peak). I’ll explain the options in the trail directions below.
Hike Duration: The total moving time was 2.5-hours for me but the total adventure time was 4-5 hours. We hung out on some of the ridges and then watched the sunset from Lantau Peak.
Hike Difficulty: This is often referred to as the hardest hike in Hong Kong. Don’t let that scare you. There are no crazy ridge-lines or death-defying moments. The hike isn’t easy but this is what you can expect:
Scrambling up rocks using hands but at an angle not a vertical wall like rock climbing
Some overgrown bushes and trees to push through
Some very steep sections of incline although total incline wasn’t even 1000-meters
HOW TO GET TO WEST DOG’S TEETH RIDGE HIKE
To get to West Dog’s Teeth Ridge there are two options:
Get to the Tung Chung MTR station. From there you need to get either the 11 or 23 bus.
Catch the ferry to Mui Wo and then catch the 1 or 2 bus.
Whichever option you choose you will need to get off the bus at the ‘Shek Pik Police Station’. It doesn’t look like a police station. In fact, it looks like a tiny bus stop next to the reservoir. You will then walk back the way the bus drove for a couple of hundred meters to the trail entrance. I’ve pictured the bus stop and the trail entrance below.
