Ma On Shan's a great choice! For a less strenuous hike with amazing views, I'd recommend starting from the Wong Shek Pier trailhead. It's generally considered easier than the trails starting further up. You'll still get fantastic panoramas, though maybe not quite as panoramic as from the very highest points.
