Lion Rock (Chinese: 獅子山), or less formallyLion Rock Hill, is a mountain in Hong Kong. It is located between Kowloon Tong of Kowloonand Tai Wai of the New Territories, and is 495 metres high. The peak consists of granitecovered sparsely by shrubs. Lion Rock is noted for its shape: its resemblance to a crouching lion is most striking from the Choi Hung and San Po Kong areas in East Kowloon. A trail winds its way up the forested hillside to the top, culminating atop the "lion's head". The trail can be followed across the profile of the lion, eventually linking up with the MacLehose Trail. The rock provides a view of the city and Hong Kong Island in the distance.
