**Meeting place & time**
0900 am Fanling MTR Exit C, Look for your hosts Philip (6308-2202).

The group will not wait after the meeting time. If you are going to be late, you may leave a message to the host on the event page up to the hike start time and try to catch up, but often this is impractical. Aim to arrive 5-10 mins earlier to avoid disappointment.

**Description**
Pat Sin Leng or ‘ridge of the eight immortals’ — a row of eight peaks, each named after an immortal from Chinese mythology. From these peaks, you'll have sweeping 360-degree views of Plover Cove Reservoir, Tolo Harbour, as well as notable Hong Kong peaks, including [Tai Mo Shan](https://www.beckyexploring.com/tai-mo-shan-hike-hong-kong/) and [Ma On Shan](https://www.beckyexploring.com/ma-on-shan-hike-sai-kung/). Since this park is so far north, on a clear day, you can even see the Shenzhen skyline.
