Wutong Mountain
梧桐山
Shenzhen's highest peak. Climbing Da Wutong rewards you with views over Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Dapeng Bay, and the Mao cotton azaleas in spring bloom in a sea of color.
Wutong Mountain National Forest Park lies on the border of Luohu and Yantian districts. Its main peak, Da Wutong, rises about 944 meters and is Shenzhen's highest point. Common hiking routes include Taishan Gorge, Phoenix Terrace and Wutong Mountain Village. The full trek takes about 4 to 6 hours. The steep “Hero Slope” near the top is a challenge, but the summit rewards you with views of Hong Kong's New Territories, Shenzhen Bay and Dapeng Bay. Mao cotton azaleas bloom from March to April each year. Admission is free. Wear non-slip shoes. You can reach the trailheads at Wutong Mountain Village or the Xianhu entrance by metro or bus.
