Recordist's notes

Ma On Shan (Horse saddle peak), is the seventh high mountain in Hong Kong with 702m height. It is distinguished as a saddle with its second peak the Hunch Backs. It is also named as Kei Ling, meaning standing hill, with its straight standing east slope. You can listen to the strong wind upon the peak and some birds' singing. 馬鞍山(馬頭頂)以其702米高度穩坐香港高峰第七位,與其副峰牛押山一起看上去似馬鞍命名。馬鞍山以東的山坡十分陡直,山壁企立,又名企嶺。你可以聽到馬鞍山頂山一陣陣強風,伴隨著小鳥嗚叫。
