Nei Lak Shan (Chinese: 彌勒山) is the sixth highest hill in Hong Kong. With a height of 751 m (2,464 ft) on Lantau Island, it is situated immediately north of Ngong Ping where the Buddhist Po Lin Monastery is located. Nei Lak, or correctly Mei Lak is a Cantonese language translation of Maitreya, the future Buddha, in Buddhism.
An angle station of the Ngong Ping 360 cable car is located near Nei Lak Shan.
Famous quotes containing the word shan:
“The child-rearing years are relatively short in our increased life span. It is hard for young women caught between diapers and formulas to believe, but there are years and years of freedom ahead. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I’d relaxed, allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
