Marina Garden 慧豐園, Tuen Mun 屯門, and Castle Peak 青山, Approaching Hong Kong

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Peak_(Hong_Kong):

 

Castle Peak (青山, sometimes transcribed Tsing Shan) or Pui To Shan (杯渡山) is a 583-metre (1,913-feet)-high peak in western New Territories, Hong Kong. It is also the highest granitic hill in Hong Kong.

 

In contrast to its Chinese name, which means green hill, Castle Peak is notorious for its severe loss of vegetation and weathering of its granite surface.
