Keung Shan

Keung Shan (Chinese: 羗山, literally "Ginger Mountain") is a peak in Hong Kong, on southwestern Lantau Island, with a height of 459 metres (1,506 ft) above sea level.

Keung Shan is formed by volcanic rocks, including porphyritic rhyolites, similar to nearby Lantau Peak and Sunset Peak.

The Lantau Trail traverses the summit of this hill.

The villages of Lower Keung Shan (下羗山) and Upper Keung Shan (上羗山) are located north of the hill. Both are recognised villages under the New Territories Small House Policy. The Keung Shan area, together with Luk Wu, Ngong Ping, Tei Tong Tsai and Man Cheung Po are considered as the five major Buddhist sites of Lantau Island, hosting numerous temples and gardens.
