Pat Sin Leng - English translation "Eight Sages Range" - near Tai Po Market MTR Station. If you look closely, there appears to be nine peaks...
May Day - May 1st - is a family-oriented holiday where adults barbecue and children play around in the parks. The Tai Po area offers a nice retreat for many Hong Kongers. Many families and young people took a short hike up Pat Sin Leng to Bride's Pool, a quiet stream and pond with playgrounds, barbecue areas, and picnic tables.
This is the 6th [ Lion Rock, Lantau South (just slightly), Lung Fu Shan, Pok Fu Lam, Sai Kung West, and Pat Sin Leng ] and maybe last Hong Kong Country Park that I have time to visit this semester. There are 24 Country Parks in Hong Kong in all; this website gives detailed info - attractions, scenery, landmarks, available public transportation etc. - on each park.

I strongly recommend checking out the Country Parks if you're ever in Hong Kong; but I think my pictures are doing a good job convincing you :)
You might also notice the albums for Episodes 31 and 32 are very short. I've passed the 500-photo mark on my Picasa page (521 to be exact). This actually the number of photos after I trimmed down every album. Space is running out on that webpage at the moment, I'll need to find a way to get more.
