DOG TEETH (WEST)

Dog Teeth Range (Kau Nga Ling), is one of the most famous hiking trail for extreme hikers. This is preferably not for novice but a great deal of challenge for intermediate hiker/s. It's perilous but intriguing scenery earns the fame for many thrill seekers. It is located at the south side of Lantau Peak (#2 Highest Peak in Hong Kong). At the moment, there are no tall object standing at the the south side, so you can enjoy the fascinating panorama of Southern Lantau while doing hiking. As the name suggests, The Dog Teeth Range looks like dog's teeth in terms of shape and sharpness.

If your attempting this trail, you must take a great deal on safety. Good Luck!
