Lotus Hill or Lianhuashan (Chinese: 莲花山; pinyin: Liánhuā Shān) is a hill in Panyu, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, with Shizi Lake to the west.
It covers an area of 2.33 square kilometres (0.90 sq mi) and has a peak 108 metres (354 ft) above sea level.
It is 30 km (19 mi) from the city of Guangzhou proper and 60 nautical miles from Hong Kong.
The hill's name comes from the legend of a vicious dragon in the South Sea who raised winds and waves in the Pearl River estuary flooding lands and capsizing boats, causing the local people to suffer.
[2] Lotus Hill is noted for its Western Han dynasty quarry which formed steep cliffs, alcoves, and other fantastic scenes.
