A mountain ridge in the north of the Dapeng Peninsula whose peaks resemble a row of teeth; a challenging classic hike with views over Daya Bay and Dapeng Bay.
Paiya Mountain lies between Kuiyong and Dapeng subdistricts in Dapeng New District. Its main peak rises about 707 meters, and its ridge is formed by a series of sharp peaks resembling a row of teeth. Together with Qiniang Mountain, it is often called one of Shenzhen's two great hiking challenges. The classic route traverses the ridge, starting from Baguang in Kuiyong or from Wangmu in Dapeng. It covers 10 to 12 kilometers and takes 6 to 8 hours. The ridge features steep slopes and bare rock, with excellent views over both Daya Bay and Dapeng Bay. It suits experienced hikers.
