Grassy Hill (Chinese: 草山; Cantonese Yale: Chóu sāan) is the fourteenth highest mountain in Hong Kong. Peaked at 647 m (2,123 ft),[1] it is situated between Tsuen Wan and Tai Po and near Lead Mine Pass.[2] Stage 7 of MacLehose Trail runs near its peak.
The summit of the hill is located near point of contact of Tai Po District, Tsuen Wan District and Sha Tin District. The summit itself is located within Tsuen Wan District.
Grassy Hill has a cone-like shape. It forms the Shing Mun Reservoir catchment along with Needle Hill and Tai Mo Shan. Lead Mine Pass is in the western part of the hill.[3]
