People Mountain People Sea may refer to:

The phrase "Open door see mountain - 開門見山" was first appeared in the TV comedy section in a every-weekday evening variety show produced by HKTVB. The name of the show is "Enjoy yourself tonight" AKA, EYT. The phrase was used in a short comedy mocking the Sino-English of the local Hong Kong residents. Further creative thinking generated the "People Mountain People Sea - 人山人海" in later shows and wide spread among HK people in daily gossip.
