Description
WikipediaViolet Hill (Chinese: 紫羅蘭山; Cantonese Yale: jí lòh làahn shāan; lit. 'violet flower hill'), also known as Tsz Lo Lan Shan, is located within Tai Tam Country Park in Hong Kong. The hill is a popular site for hiking. The Hong Kong Government named three trails on the hill, namely Wilson Trail, Tsz Lo Lan Shan Path and Tai Tam Country Trail. Towards its top, the hill splits into three peaks of altitude 436 m (1,430 ft), 433 m (1,421 ft) and 430 m (1,410 ft), respectively. It offers views of the group of Tai Tam Reservoirs and Wong Nai Chung Reservoir. The hill is well preserved, with little construction on the hill. A rare and protected species, the Hong Kong iris (Iris speculatrix), with its violet flower, can be found on the hill.
