Name
The Cantonese name Nei Lak Shan, or prescriptively Mei Lak Shan (Chinese: 彌勒山; Jyutping: Mei4 Lak6 Saan1) is a translation of Maitreya, the future Buddha, in Buddhism. The mountain can therefore be loosely translated as "Buddha Mountain". It is situated close to the Tian Tan Buddha at Ngong Ping.
