Part of Fanling-Sheung Shui New Town, Fanling includes Luen Wo Hui (聯和墟), the marketplace of Fanling before urban development in the area, and Wo Hop Shek (和合石), where an uphill public cemetery is located. The population of Fanling keeps growing. Today many public and private estates can be found in the area.

Northwest of Fanling is Sheung Shui and southeast is Tai Po. The name Fanling is a shortend form of Fan Pik Leng (粉壁嶺). The enclosing walls and corner watch towers of Kun Lung Wai, Lung Yeuk Tau, is one of the declared monuments of Hong Kong.
