HK$100: Lion Rock

Lion Rock is situated between Kowloon and the New Territories. Named for the shape of its peak like a lion's head, it overlooks the busy Victoria Harbour. Facing Hong Kong's ever-changing skyscraper skyline, the two add radiance and beauty to each other. For centuries, the precipitous Lion Rock has stayed witness to the bittersweet progress of this resilient city.
