词源

From Chinese. Named for a male Chinese rail worker, the first person known to have climbed the mountain peak, on a bet and a dare. The name Ha Ling Peak was suggested by the newspaper Medicine Hat News on 22 October 1896, in a story about the climb; its previous nickname was The Beehive. The peak was eventually formally officially named "Chinaman's Peak" in 1980, but was changed in 1997 to Ha Ling Peak due to people finding "Chinaman" offensive.
