Shui Chuen O (Chinese: 水泉澳), also known as Sugar Loaf Peak, is a 372 metres (1,220 ft) tall mountain located in Sha Tin, in Hong Kong's New Territories.

Residential area

The Shui Chuen O area is located between Lion Rock Country Park and Ma On Shan Country Park. Currently, this area primarily consists of public housing estates. The use of Country Park periphery sites at Shui Chuen O for housing has been controversial and conservationists have warned that such development could "spread like a virus".
