Wa Shan is located in Sheung Shui in the northern New Territories. It was originally called "Da Ling". Because of its continuous military road crossing many peaks such as Changfutou Shanshan, Matouing, Songshan, etc, it is called "Da Ling". It is known as the "Great Wall of Hong Kong" and "Huashan Military Road". From the mountain, you can overlook the scenery of Lok Ma Chau, Wutong River and Shenzhen. Famous attractions include the Tai Ling Rain Prayer Monument 求雨碑, the North-viewing Shenzhen Stone 北望神州石and the Hong Kong Royal Regiment (British Volunteer Insignia) 皇家義勇軍徽章 etc.
