Pat Sin Leng is a scenic mountain range located within Pat Sin Leng Country Park in the northeastern New Territories of Hong Kong. Its name means "Ridge of the Eight Immortals," inspired by eight peaks named after legendary Taoist immortals from Chinese folklore. The ridge is known for its challenging hiking trails, steep ascents, and sweeping views of Plover Cove Reservoir, Tolo Channel, and the surrounding countryside. It is a favorite destination for experienced hikers seeking a rewarding trek through one of Hong Kong's most picturesque natural landscapes.
Lai Chi Wo, on Plover Cove Country Park’s northeastern shore, boasts a beautifully preserved Hakka walled village over 400 years old. This scenic spot blends geological marvels, rich biodiversity, ancient villages, and vibrant Hakka culture. Starting from Wu Kau Tang, clear forest streams attract summer dragonflies. At Sam A Chung coast, the pink Yan Chau Tong Marine Park bay glows from iron-rich sandstone oxidized under ancient high heat. Lai Chi Wo delights with coastal views, Hakka traditions, local cuisine, and unique old trees: hollow Autumn Maple, Hong Kong’s largest primeval Heritiera grove, fig-wrapped Autumn Maple, and the sadly maimed Five-fingered Camphor Tree.
Finished in 1968, Plover Cove Reservoir ranks as Hong Kong's second-largest by area—the world's first "ocean reservoir," created by damming a sea inlet, pumping out saltwater, and refilling with freshwater. This demanding ridge trail, with its steep slopes and sparse facilities, winds past peaks like Ma Tau Fung and Tai Tung, offering sweeping views of lush Plover Cove Country Park, Sam A Wan estuary, the vast reservoir, and Tolo Channel, before reaching the impressive main and auxiliary dams. Along the route, floating solar panels often host egrets and herons, creating popular photo stops.
