Sheung Tsz Fung

From the heights of Sheung Tsz Fung, the world stretches out before you. This peak, named after Han Xiang, the patron deity of flute artists, holds a special place among the Eight Immortals of Pat Sin Leng. Sheung Tsz Fung isn’t just a peak; it’s a character in a grand, ancient story. Imagine Han Xiang, a young man with music in his soul, defying his family’s expectations of a scholarly life to follow the Tao. He sought enlightenment, not through books, but through nature and the melodies of his flute. Legend says he met the immortals Lu Dongbin and Zhongli Quan, who guided him on his path to immortality. Sheung Tsz Fung echoes with the story of Han Xiang and the Dragon Girl. Picture him playing his flute by the East Sea, the music drawing a silver eel from the depths. This eel, the Dragon Girl, daughter of the Dragon King, was captivated by Han Xiang’s melody. Their love was forbidden by the Dragon King, leaving Han Xiang with only a piece of golden bamboo, a gift from his lost love. He crafted it into his iconic flute, a constant reminder of their brief, magical encounter. From Sheung Tsz Fung, look out at the landscape and imagine Han Xiang’s music drifting across the hills, a testament to his devotion to the Tao and his enduring love for the Dragon Girl. The legend of Han Xiang adds another layer of magic to this already mystical mountain range.
