Temple Hill, Mountain summit in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.

Temple Hill, also called Tsz Wan Shan, is a mountain summit in Sha Tin that reaches about 488 meters high. Natural hiking trails wind through thick vegetation and offer views across the New Territories.

The mountain served as a geographical boundary between New Kowloon and the New Territories during Hong Kong's territorial development. This role established its importance in the region's geography.

The local name Tsz Wan Shan comes from Buddhist heritage that has deep roots in this area. You can find several religious buildings on the southern slopes that show how spiritual life shaped this place.

Several hiking routes reach the summit and connect via public transportation to nearby residential areas like Tsz Wan Shan. Wear proper hiking shoes and bring enough water for a comfortable climb.

A digital television transmission tower stands at the peak and broadcasts signals across the surrounding areas. This structure marks the highest point and serves as a working landmark for the whole region.
