Lin Fa Shan's Cantonese name, meaning Lotus Flower Mountain, appears on maps of Lantau's interior. The summit stands between Mui Wo and Sunset Peak, and hiking routes link it with the island's second- and third-highest peaks. Its named subpeaks, Sam Shan Toi and Ap Kuk Lek, both reach 721 metres.
Lin Fa Shan is the Cantonese name (Jyutping Lin4 Faa1 Saan1), written 蓮花山, literally "Lotus Flower Mountain". The peak stands between Mui Wo and Sunset Peak, and hiking write-ups pair it with the neighbouring Lantau summits of Sunset Peak and Tai Tung Shan in a single ridge route.
The hike requires moderate fitness and sturdy footwear because of steep sections and rough terrain along the route. Bring plenty of water and snacks before starting, as there are no facilities on the mountain itself.
