Kau Keng Shan (Chinese: 九逕山) is a hill in Tuen Mun, New Territories, Hong Kong and stands opposite from Castle Peak. Kau Keng Shan has a height of 507 metres. During the Ming dynasty, the area around the hill was used as a defense position against foreign forces, especially the Portuguese, who had occupied Tuen Mun from 1514 to 1521.
Famous quotes containing the word shan:
“Becoming more flexible, open-minded, having a capacity to deal with change is a good thing. But it is far from the whole story. Grandparents, in the absence of the social institutions that once demanded civilized behavior, have their work cut out for them. Our grandchildren are hungry for our love and approval, but also for standards being set.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
