Por Lo Shan (Chinese: 菠蘿山; lit. 'Pineapple Mountain') is a 121 m (397 ft) high peak in the western New Territories of Hong Kong.
Por Lo Shan is a small hill located between Leung King Estate and Shan King Estate. Nowadays, when hikers talk about "Por Lo Shan", they usually refer to the informally-named "Grand Canyon of Hong Kong",[1][2] a few kilometres west of Por Lo Shan. The "Grand Canyon" is inside the Castle Peak Hinterland on Castle Peak Range Road, just west of Leung Tin Pass.
This confusion exists partly because the "Grand Canyon" is officially unnamed and also because the road leading to the "Grand Canyon" starts from the foot of Por Lo Shan, near Leung King Estate.
