Tsz Wan Shan (Chinese: 慈雲山; Jyutping: ci4 wan4 saan1) is a residential area in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Located below Temple Hill, it is administratively part of Wong Tai Sin District. (Note that Temple Hill is also called Tsz Wan Shan 慈雲山, but Tsz Wan Shan usually refers to the area)
It is a densely populated residential area, consisting of several large public housing estates. The old Tsz Wan Shan housing blocks (64 buildings in total) was demolished between late 1980's and mid 1990s.
In the very north of the district, a steep path leads to a Kwun Yam temple. The path goes to Temple Hill, part of the Ma On Shan Country Park and then joins the MacLehose Trail and the Wilson Trail, reaching across the New Territories.

Famous quotes containing the words wan and/or shan:
“With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb’st the skies;
How silently, and with how wan a face.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“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)
