Wutong Mountain

Wutong Mountain is a summit in Shenzhen featuring two main peaks called Greater Wutong and Lesser Wutong connected by hiking trails. The highest point reaches approximately 944 meters, providing views across the city and surrounding ridges.

The mountain gained prominence during the Ming Dynasty when it was included in the Eight Great Views of Xin'an County collection. This recognition shows the site held importance for travelers and scholars centuries ago.

The mountain appears in classical Chinese poetry and holds meaning for those interested in traditional medicinal plants found on its slopes. Visitors often come looking for these healing herbs that have been valued for centuries.

The mountain is accessible by public transportation with bus routes and metro connections near the base. Hikers should wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water as the trails are steep and lengthy.

The smaller peak holds a transmission tower operated by a local media company that stands out against the sky. The larger peak is known for an especially steep slope that many hikers find quite challenging to climb.
