The Lion Pavilion at Victoria Peak attracts tourists to enjoy the scenery of Hong Kong from here.

In addition, since many British people settled here in the early years, there are also many historical buildings left, such as the Lion Pavilion. Lingxiao Pavilion

The first theory is that tourists have to work hard to climb the sightseeing pavilion on the Peak of Victoria Peak. Just to see the scenery is a very stupid behavior;

The second saying is derived from the saying in the 1950s: "The scenery in Hong Kong is too old to be exposed to the sun", "The scenery from Victoria Peak is too old to be seen" Exhausted". Visitors overlooking the scenery under Taiping Mountain in the pavilion can see many stupid people (ie: "Lao Lin"); The pronunciation is the same as "lining"). Standing in the old lining pavilion, you can look at the thousands of households under the mountain, looking for your future relatives. In Cantonese, being "find old relatives" (commonly known as "find old lining") means being cheated, so this building The building is called Lao Lin Pavilion by the media and citizens.

It is worth mentioning that some people from mainland China and Taiwan mistakenly confuse Laoxing Pavilion with the Lion Pavilion, a Chinese-style viewing pavilion built with donations from the Lions Club on the side of Lingxiao Pavilion on the top of the mountain.
