Mount Parker is the second-highest peak (532 metres (1,745 ft)) on Hong Kong Island, after Victoria Peak (552 m (1,811 ft)).[1] It is the 40th-highest peak in the territory of Hong Kong.
It is named after Admiral of the Fleet Sir William Parker, 1st Baronet, of Shenstone.[2]
A rare native tree, the Hong Kong camellia (Camellia hongkongensis), can be found growing on Mount Parker,[3] while another species, Crapnell's camellia (Camellia crapnelliana), was first discovered on the peak.
Much of the mountain is in a protected country park area. The roads that go up this mountain are access-restricted. Motorcycles, cars, bicycles, electric scooters without a special permit are not allowed on these roads, and the people who are caught may incur a penalty.
