Temple Hill

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.

Temple Hill was already recorded under the name Tsz Wan Shan in 1871, when the hill and its southern slopes were named. In 1967 Television Broadcasts Limited built Hong Kong's first television transmission station on the summit, broadcasting its Jade and Pearl analogue channels. From 1973 Rediffusion Television's wireless signal was carried from the same site, and the hill became the hub of the territory's television network. Analogue transmission ended on 1 December 2020 after 53 years.

The name Tsz Wan Shan (慈雲山) comes from the Guanyin Temple on the hill: the phrase "chi wan pow kau" (慈雲普救), meaning Guanyin's compassionate clouds bring universal salvation, gave the hill its name, recorded as early as 1871. The temple still stands on the slopes above the Tsz Wan Shan housing estate.

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.
