Brick Hill sandy loam

Brick Hill (known as Nam Long Shan) lies in the south of Hong Kong Island. The hill was named after the brick works factory that used the site between 1889 and 1931. Raw materials including clays were excavated from the hill nearby for the production of fire bricks, tiles and water pipes.
