Pat Sing Leng might be HK's best and most gorgeous flying site. Its main drawback is the climb, but the view up there makes it worthwhile. Southerly winds usually mean summer, and therefore, extreme heat; one liter of water is a bare minimum. Cross country potential - confer with Scott or Ah Fai who have had some great flights there. The landing area on the beach is extremely large and very safe. Can see downtown Shenzhen while flying. Unlike Cloudy Hills, taking off at Pat Sing Leng is possible when wind is SW. To avoid some sorrow, get as much information as possible on likely wind direction and speed before embarking on this walk. There is a whole bunch of restaurants in Tai Mei Tuk.
