Resembling a lion perched on a hill, the Lion Rock at the Lion Rock Country Park is the star attraction of this natural expanse. Besides this, the Mong Fu Shek is a rock behind which is a beautiful legend of love and loyalty. It is said that a woman trekked to this spot each day with her son in her arms, awaiting her husband who had actually drowned in the sea. To reward her for her faithfulness, the Goddess of Sea turned her into an immortal rock. There is a lot of beauty to take in at this park. From panoramic views to the adventurous and gorgeous hiking trails, there is a lot to do here. A great place for a picnic or meditation even, Lion Rock Country Park provides a respite from the crowds of the city.
