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:
“It helps parents to feel better if we remind them of our failures with them! And how they turned out just fine despite our imperfections.... We never get over needing nurturing parents. The more we comfort our own adult children, the more they can comfort our grandchildren.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
