Lotus Mountain, Mountain summit in Guangdong, China.

Lotus Mountain is a 562-metre peak in Chenghai District, Shantou, Guangdong, on the border with Raoping and Chao'an counties; its main summit, Xiangongding, is Shantou's highest point on the mainland. It was formed by volcanic eruptions about 137 million years ago, and its overlapping ridges radiating around the summit gave it the name Lotus. The upper slopes are bare gray-brown and muted green, with a pale streak on the left flank, while dark green vegetation thickens toward the base.

Lotus Mountain was formed by a volcanic eruption about 137 million years ago, in the Mesozoic era. Its tungsten deposits were mined from 1956 under the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Guangzhou Company, across roughly 4000 mu; the mine closed in 1999 when the ore ran out, and the mining rights passed to Chenghai in October 2002. Wastewater pollution from the mine was listed among Guangdong's ten key environmental problems for two consecutive years before remediation began in 2005.

The name Lotus Mountain comes from its layered ridges, said to resemble a lotus flower. At the summit stands a small shrine to the Old Man of the South Pole, alongside a four-faced Guanyin statue. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, people climb the mountain in a "rounding the dream" custom; it is described as the only Old Man of the South Pole shrine site in China.

Two established climbing routes start on the south slope: one runs from Lotus Ancient Temple via Tongjin Alley and Lotus Pond to the summit, the other from Lianhua Mountain Hot Spring via Hongling Farm and Shenquan Xianweng Palace to the summit. The main peak, Xiangongding, is the highest point in Shantou on the mainland.

The summit holds a small shrine to the Old Man of the South Pole, a deity whose rock-like likeness on the mountain vanished after tungsten mining began. The same shrine also houses a four-faced Guanyin statue. Mining ran from 1956 until 1999, and waste-water pollution led to provincial clean-up measures from 2005.
