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:
“Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things—wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete ... babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring.”
—Eda Le Shan (b. 1922)
