Robin's Nest (Chinese: 紅花嶺; Jyutping: Hung4 Faa1 Leng5 (former name:麻雀嶺)) is a hill and country park[1] located in northeastern Hong Kong, south of the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen in the New Territories.[2] Robin's Nest is the 55th tallest hill in Hong Kong.
The name Hung Fa Leng (紅花嶺) does not translate directly as 'Robin's Nest' but as 'Red Flower Ridge'.
In 2017, the Hong Kong government announced that it was planning to designate the area as a country park, called Robin's Nest Country Park.[3] This was completed in June 2019.[1]
