Setting off from Lok Yip Road, Fanling, you soon see a subway. Of course you don't go down into it.
Follow the yellow sign towards Sheung Shui and you'll be right.

Keep following the cycle track and you reach this roundabout, famous for getting people lost.
Don't worry. There's a cheeky little sign, probably put up by fellow cyclists.
Once you spot the On Lok Tsuen sign, you've nothing to fear!

At the works site by the junction of On Kui Street and Ma Sik Road, you can already see Queen's Hill Estate in the distance.

You're nearby, so of course you should go onto the Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail for a look.
The Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall is one of the largest ancestral halls in Hong Kong. It was built around 1525 in memory of Tang Chung Ling, the founding ancestor.
Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall is a three-hall building. The fine wood carvings, plaster mouldings, ceramic figures and murals inside and out show the superb skill of the craftsmen of the day.

The Tin Hau Temple beside the hall is the main temple of the Lung Yeuk Tau area. When it was built is now hard to trace.
The main hall enshrines Tin Hau and her attendant deities, Thousand Li Eyes and Favourable Wind Ears. Two ancient bells in the eastern side hall at the rear are the oldest relics still in the temple, cast in the 34th year of the Kangxi reign.

Leave the Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail, return to the cycle track, and Queen's Hill Estate draws closer.
The cycle track below the hill is broken into stretches, and cars are often parked at the junctions. If you go onto the road, watch carefully for traffic!
If you're not confident on a bike, it's best to get off and push.

When we filmed the first time, part of the Queen's Hill cycle track was still under works.
The second time we went, it was finished.
If you're heading up the hill, you can use the cycle track at the roundabout to join the next section.
