Keung Shan, Mountain peak in Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
Description
Keung Shan is a mountain peak on Lantau Island that rises roughly 460 meters above the surrounding landscape. The slopes feature volcanic rock formations and connect to hiking paths that lead across different parts of the island.
History
The mountain has long served as home to two small settlements on its slopes that evolved over time. These villages became established parts of the local community structure and remain visible in the landscape today.
Culture
The area around the peak holds several Buddhist temples that visitors can still access and explore. These sacred sites form part of the spiritual landscape that shapes how people experience the island today.
Practical
The area is accessible through an established network of hiking trails that connect across the island. These paths require standard hiking gear and preparation for changing weather conditions typical of the region.
Did you know?
The name translates to Ginger Mountain, derived from plants that once covered the slopes. Although the vegetation has changed over time, the name remains a reminder of what the land once supported.
