Lion's Head

Iconic South African summit

Lion's Head is a mountain peak in Cape Town, South Africa, situated between Table Mountain and Signal Hill, named for its resemblance to a crouching lion when viewed from certain angles.

It's a popular hiking destination offering panoramic views of the city and Atlantic coastline.

The term also refers to a traditional Chinese meatball dish, so named because the large pork meatballs surrounded by cabbage leaves supposedly resemble a lion's mane.
