Kwun Yum Shan, Mountain peak in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.
Kwun Yum Shan is a mountain with an elevation of 552 meters in Yuen Long District. It sits within the grounds of Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden and features hiking paths leading to its summit.
The Yuen Long region shows evidence of human settlement going back thousands of years. This mountain was long an important location for local communities in this part of Hong Kong.
The mountain takes its name from Guan Yin, a figure in Chinese tradition who represents compassion and mercy. A temple once stood at the summit, reflecting the spiritual role this place held for the community.
The mountain can be reached via marked hiking trails starting from the Kadoorie Farm grounds. A shuttle bus service also operates on the premises, offering an alternative to walking the trails.
The summit features a geological formation called Hot Pots that releases warm, misty air during winter months. This phenomenon indicates past volcanic activity in the region.
