马来西亚的霹雳州，太平市有一个太平山；香港也有一个太平山。太平的太平山先称‘拉律山Bukit Larut。旧称麦斯威尔山Maxwell Hill。它的自然热带雨林风景及动植物吸引了无数的国内外的游客。每年都会有很多观鸟爱好者特地从老远来观鸟。

老太平人都会吧太平山称为咖啡山。大约在三十年前，就听说咖啡山上闹鬼并有人听到夜间有老虎吼叫的声音。当然，太平山顶紧接原始森林；听到虎吼并不出奇。

The Chinese name for Hong Victoria Peak is 太平山 which is the same as the 太平山 in Taiping. But both are different hills obviously. The scenery of tropical rain forest together with the associated flora and fauna attracted countless of tourists from inside and outside of the country each year; including of those bird watchers. These folks willing to travel from afar just to catch a glimpse of rare birds here.

Old Taiping folks like to call Bukit Larut as 'Coffee Hill' perhaps of the place was once the house of a coffee plantation.

About some 30 years ago, there were rumors about the Bukit Larut being haunted; and that people heard tiger roared at night. Of course, this shouldn't be a surprised as the top of the Bukit Larut connects to a maiden jungle. It should not be a surprise to hear tiger roar logically speaking.
