Trip Moments Recommendations
#Wutong Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Rocky hike 🪨🥾
#shenzhentrip
As I'll always be wary of offbeat hiking trail 🏞️in foreign land just because of the unknowns of the terrain, while this time I decided to embark on one such unknown journey 🚶🏾♂️ Well I'd say it really did paid off, with my girl around, we got to see the whole bay area 🗾⚓ from a really nice viewing spot, at the top of the Wutong expedition. If you had followed my previous post about this mount, then you may know that this trail is quite a rocky 🪨 terrain but after you've reached the top there'll be neatly laid out steps; where I saw people go and wait until sunset 🌇 to see the city start glittering ✨ as the night 🌃 sets in. But since we were quite tired to do that, we decided to hike down the hill; which was quite rewarding too, as we got to see some jungle creatures along the way !! #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #ukcreator
Tower culmination
#shenzhentrip
The best thing about visiting natural/famous places in China is that, all the places are well facilitated with basic needs 💧🥟🚻⛑️ so that even people who aren't in great fitness (like me😋) also can enjoy these experiences. On such occasion, as we were hiking 🥾 all the way up in the Wutong mountain ⛰️ on rough terrains we encountered the massive tomb shaped tower 🗼 (which is very likely a phone signal tower) and other refreshing facilities. They also have laid out a neat viewing platform to get to see the deep valley, from this hiking culmination point. Also I'd suggest to go in here during the spring season, around March, to get to see the blossoming 🌸 flowers all around the mountain. #tripblazers#urbanexplorer
Dance of Nature & Human Skyscrapers
#shenzhentrip
Shenzhen is quite a mountainous region, which qualify it to be one of my favorites in China. Oftentimes in a few metres onto the main road 🛣️ you'll get to see the distant 🏔️ mountains with full green 💚 patches. So this time I decided to chase one of those mountains and hike to get the view of man-made skyscrapers 🏙️ from the natural skyscrapers ⛰️😜 Since I stayed in Luohu district in Shenzhen it's super convenient to just take a 20-min ride to reach Wutong mountain. You may start your hike in a neatly laid out cement road, but to get the amazing view you have to take a detour to a 🪨 rocky path, after some 2 kms. What's the fun in hiking in a cement road right ? 😉 #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #hiking

The most famous mountain in Shenzhen! ⛰️
Wutong mountain is a very large area, This is the highest peak in Shenzhen. There are two options big and small Wutong both of them are fine. Also if you want to find the best scenery to look at the whole of Shenzhen city this mountain gives exactly that. Beautiful nature and a great challenge to climb to the top because there are so many stairs that you need to pass. it takes time to climb over there for 2-3 hours with many short breaks because you need to save energy when you go down. The best time to check it when is cooler is during autumn/winter time because when is spring/summer can be so humid weather. This mountain is worth a visit, when you climb up you will see spectacular city views and relax in the fresh oxygen-rich mountain air.

Hike the highest peak
Wutong mountain is the highest peak in the city, and as such is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Shenzhen. This mountain looms over much of the city and has challenged the casual and serious hiker alike.
Wutong is has 2 main peaks, small Wutong and big Wutong, and they can be hiked separately or together. For the purposes of this article I will give the guide of hiking them both, and also focus on the ‘most common’ route.
There are lots and lots of stairs on this hike, and since it goes up to 970M high, you will definatley be feeling your legs the next day. However a ‘wild’ route is also available which has less stairs and is more challenging. I would suggest the wild route for those who are more confident in their hiking ability, for the beginner or those with less experience the main stair route is probably the better choice.
From bottom to the top of small Wutong will take around 90 mins, it is more or less a straight line, with multiple rest stops along the way. The views get progressively better as you go up, and when you get to the top you will be greeted by the iconic TV Tower. This is a jaw dropping landmark that simply must be seen up close at least once during your time in SZ.
After you reach the top of Small Wutong, you can either go back down, or follow signs for ‘Big Wutong’. This is approximately another 90 mins or so from the top of small as it is longer not just higher. Along this route there are some pagodas which are a good place to rest and enjoy the view, and some ‘squares’ which have toilets and convenience stores. The peak of Big Wutong is marked by a marker stone, letting you know that you have conquered the summit.
If you take the nature trail up it will take around 2 hours, it is a good trail with gradual incline. Stay on the paved road from the main small wutong entrance from the metro station. Walk for around 40 mins until you see this entrance. Follow it up to the peak of small wutong.

Little Bogota in Wutongshan ❤️
So i went hiking yesterday at the Wutongshan National park (Sycamore hills). It is situated in the central south part of Shenzhen.
Wutongshan (or Wutong mountain) is a rare natural scenic spot in China, which is located in urban area, and with a coastal spread of mountains and natural vegetations as its main scenery.
Little bogota pavillion can be found tucked in on the foggy crossroads between Small Wutong and Great Wutong. Its on the right side of the road if you opted to go to Small Wutong.
Challenging hike but worth it. Especially when you get to the Little Bogota. Climb up those ladders up and when you get to the top, try to meditate. That way you will find peace and solitude.
Free entrance. And again, its foggy and mists all over it. Still try to take photos. ❤️

Climbing up Small Wutong ❤️
Hiking Wutong Mountain is one of the most popular activity here in Shenzhen. They say its a great way to get exercise and breathtaking vistas. It is located in Luohu district in Shenzhen.
There are 3 main peaks, namely the Small Wutong, Bean curd head, and the Great Wutong.
Great Wutong is the highest peak in Shenzhen with a 943.7 meters altitude (3,096ft) while Small Wutong is is 200 meters lower than the Great Wutong.
For a first timer hiker like me, its a better option to try to climb first the Small Wutong.
Dont get twisted, Small Wutong is pretty high too. And climbing it took me 3 hours and 45minutes to be exact. I took the West hiking route starting from the Wutong archway, all the way to the Greenway, to the Small Wutong peak, and went down to those veryyyyy steep and challenging stairs goin to South entrance. Descending took me 2 hours. The hazy atmosphere makes it harder because the road and trails are slippery.
Fog and mist will welcome you as soon a you reach the peak. Its windy and the temperature definitely is way cooler than at the foot of the mountain. They say in a clear day, you can see the rolling hills clearly and the dense forest below.
I will definitely comeback. For my second climb, will try to reach the pinnacle of Great Wutong.
Jiayou! ❤️

Shenzhen, Shenzhen, the best night landscape to see the small Wutong
Luohu is the earliest developed place in Shenzhen, Futian, in recent years, Nanshan became the boss. If you want to find a place in Shenzhen to see these three places at the same time, this place must be Wutong Mountain. The more than 900 meters high altitude of the Great Indus, more than three hours of mountain roads make people look down on the mountain, so Xiao Wutong is our best choice!
route creeping small paulownia recommended to climb from 2 places: one is to take the road from the north gate of Wutong Mountain, about 2 hours to reach the small phoenix roof, all is a gentle cement road; the second is from the mountain road of Liantang The steps of the road can reach the top in more than an hour, but it is very steep.
The best view point
1. The small pavilion under the Wutong Mountain TV Tower can look at the light and shadow changes from the sunset to the lights in the city.
2. The pavilion walks 200 meters to the right and has a small soil slope. When there is good weather, there will be a lot of photographers shooting here.
Tips:
1. It is recommended to go hiking down the mountain with a flashlight, anti-mosquito and other light outdoor equipment
2. There are small shops and vending machines on the mountain, the price is not expensive, it is recommended to light Going forward
3. Choose sunny mountain climbing, rainy road slippery is prone to accidents
How can one not visit the tallest mountain in Shenzhen?
I've been there many times with friends, and all the photos were dug out from an old phone.
Once you've climbed the tree-shaded Wutong Mountain, you'll realize that 'from different angles the hills look like ridges, and from different distances the peaks vary in height,' which can also be seen in Shenzhen. Even though the 'waterfalls cascading directly down' are not three thousand feet, they are captivating enough to intoxicate every climber with the beauty of Wutong Mountain, immersing them in the embrace of nature.
Five-star recommendation, free admission, it's advisable to avoid weekends.
Direct access to Shenzhen Metro! It only takes 1
5h to reach the mountaintop, and even beginners can make it!.
I can't believe there's such a beautiful place in Shenzhen!
From the west, you can overlook the Shenzhen urban area, and from the south, you can see the mountains of Hong Kong in the distance.
Although it's tiring, it's worth it for this mountain and sea view!
.
Roam around Shenzhen, spend half a day enjoying the beautiful scenery.
I took the Xiutong Road, which is directly accessible by the Shenzhen Metro🚇, and it only took 1.5h to reach the top by stairs🍃~
The viewing platform on the mountaintop is really stunning~
Beginners can make it too!
✅Wutong Mountain⛰, the highest peak in Shenzhen at 947.3m
There are 6 hiking trails🧗🏻♀️
🔶Luohu District: Lingyun Road (scenic), Taishan Jian (water trail), Dengyun Road (low difficulty), Wutong Mountain North Road (mountain road)
🔶Yantian District: Xiutong Road (fast ascent), Bitong Road (high difficulty)
.
🔻Recommended fastest route to the summit:
Recommend going up Xiutong Road and down Lingyun Road
🍃Route: Take the metro🚇 to Shenzhen Foreign Languages School Exit C, take the elevator to the second floor, navigate to the entrance of Xiutong Road, go to Shanhai Pavilion, and then to Wutong Mountain South Metro Station Exit D
The whole way is stairs, with some parts being a bit shaky, so bringing a walking stick would make it easier. There are supply points on the mountain, and toilets🚾 along the way, with tree shade all the way, so it's not too sunny. If you walk fast, you can reach the summit in 1h, and 2.5h is enough for climbing and taking photos along the way, so beginners can confidently go for it
‼️Personal tips:
1️⃣Hike with others, as there's a chance to encounter wild boars🐗, just avoid them
2️⃣It's recommended to bring more than two bottles of water and some dry food
3️⃣Prepare for sun protection and insect repellent, and wear a pair of comfortable shoes
4️⃣Choose good weather for hiking, and don't climb at night
5️⃣Know your limits! If you're tired, climb slowly and rest more

March is the time to admire flowers in Shenzhen, miss it and you'll have to wait another year
March is one of the most beautiful seasons in Shenzhen. Starting from the main entrance of Wutong Mountain, along the road, some say
missing the cotton rhododendrons on Wutong Mountain is like missing the spring of Shenzhen. From late March to early April
is the best time to appreciate the cotton rhododendrons on Wutong Mountain. At this time, if you climb just a little
you can see large swathes of pink, the best spots for flower viewing
01-Jiānguān Valley is located north of the Xiaowutong Square, covering an area of about 20 hectares, and is the place with the richest cotton rhododendron resources on Wutong Mountain; it offers a rich viewing experience, allowing you to look at the flowers from different angles, including straight on, from above, and from below. You can follow the Shifang Path, Xunxiang Path, and Huaxi Path to walk among the flowers and reach deep into the valley, enjoying the secluded charm among the woods. 02-Wanhua Screen is about 300 meters southwest of Fenghuang Platform, covering an area of about 15 hectares. The slope of the garden road is covered with competing cotton rhododendrons forming a unique flower wall, like a screen; the ancient rhododendron forest, composed of more than 1,000 ancient cotton rhododendron trees, stretches for hundreds of meters. When in full bloom, it forms a flower waterfall that extends from the top of the slope to the bottom of the valley, a spectacular sight. Below the Wanhua Screen, there is a 'Thousand-Year Rhododendron King' with a diameter of 58 centimeters and a height of 10.5 meters, requiring two or three adults to encircle it, worthy of everyone's admiration.
03-Doufutou Doufutou is the second highest peak of Wutong Mountain, and the scenic spot in the Doufutou Azalea area is named 'Rhododendron Crying Red'. Experts named it by combining the plant name and the beautiful and touching story of 'Rhododendron Crying Blood' from the ancient Shu kingdom. Covering more than 300 acres, the azaleas grow on both sides of the mountain ridge, presenting a bright and eye-catching sea of flowers in March, reminiscent of the landscape effect of azaleas blooming all over the ridge.
04-Ten-Mile Rhododendron Corridor The starting point is at the Xiaowutong TV Tower 'Wutong Tea Sea', passing through Dongjuan Brocade, Doufutou, Butterfly Valley, Shuangfeng Pavilion, and ending at the Hao Han Slope platform, with a total length of 2 kilometers. You can enjoy the mountains, the sea, and a distant view of Hong Kong along the way. There are camellias, fuchsia, lilac rhododendrons, cotton rhododendrons, azaleas, red lotus, and more than ten varieties of rhododendrons blooming in succession along this mountain ridge, together creating the magnificent scene of 'Ten Miles of Rhododendrons, Ten Miles of Brocade'.
Route A: North Gate (Wutong Mountain North Road) - Fenghuang Platform - Wanhua Screen - Doufutou
Route B: 'Liantang' subway station (Dengyun Road) - Jiānguān Valley - Wanhua Screen - Fenghuang Platform
Route C: 'Wutong Mountain South' subway station (Lingyun Road) - Ten-Mile Rhododendron - Doufutou - Hao Han Slope
Shenzhen is picturesque
The Wutong Mountain is home to three main peaks: Little Wutong, Tofu Head, and Big Wutong, historically known as the 'Three Outstanding Peaks'. Among them, Big Wutong stands at 943.7 meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in Shenzhen. Wutong Mountain is the source of the Shenzhen River. The mountain springs from the main peak of Big Wutong converge into the 'Heavenly Pool', cascading down to form the 'Dragon Pool', and then flow through Longzhu Mountain and eight valley channels to form a river. It extends westward between Luohu in Shenzhen and the New Territories in Hong Kong, flowing towards the Shenzhen Bay, historically marking the boundary between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. It has become the 8th national scenic spot in Guangdong Province.
Wutong Mountain
The sunrise at the peak of Wutong Mountain, ancient Chinese people started their day at sunrise and rested at sunset. However, Wutong Mountain often stays awake all night, quietly waiting for the sunrise in the cold wind. As the sun slowly climbs up the hillside, Wutong Mountain seems to come alive as well, with the chirping of insects and birds becoming cheerful, the layers of thin clouds gradually dispersing, and the gentle breezes carrying warmth.
Shenzhen easily conquered Wutong Mountain
Shenzhen📍 easily took down Wutong Mountain🧗
Transport: Get off at Wutong Mountain South Station on Line 8

Shenzhen Wutong Mountain Guide for Beginners
Shenzhen Wutong Mountain Guide for Beginners. Night climb to watch the sunrise⛰️
The main peak of Wutong Mountain is 943.7 meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in Shenzhen⛰️
If you are a beginner, you must be most concerned about which path is closer? Which path is easier? Which path is closer to the subway station? Here's a tried and tested guide
Here it comes🧗
Climbing Strategy⛰️
Night Climbing Route
1⃣️【Butterfly Valley Route】From Wutong South Metro Station C1 exit → small path to the mountain entrance → mountain road → first restroom area → walk 2860m through Butterfly Valley → Butterfly Valley platform rest area → Hero Slope Square rest area → reach the peak by 5 am to secure a good spot for watching the cloud sea sunrise (recommended for beginners, estimated 3.5-4 hours to the summit)
2⃣️【Xiutong Road Route】From Shenzhen Foreign Languages High School Metro Station Exit C via Xiutong Road → Shanhai Pavilion → Bitong Road → Wutong Mountain's top Pengcheng First Peak (about 2-2.5 hours, a faster route to the summit, steep and requires extra caution)
Descent Strategy⛰️
1⃣️Standing directly above the large rock at Wutong Mountain's Pengcheng First Peak, facing the same direction as the rock, there are two paths straight ahead. Going straight is 【Hero Slope】. After about 200 meters, there's a platform, and a kilometer to the right is the Hero Slope Square. This section is all stairs, be extra careful when descending. From Hero Slope, follow the main road down for about 800 meters, there's a pavilion with a fork in the road
👈The dirt path on the left is 【Butterfly Valley】, the whole Butterfly Valley🦋 is 2860 meters, and going down leads to 【Wutong Mountain South Metro Station🚇】
👉The main road on the right, walk about 500 meters to 【Phoenix Platform】, there is a three-way fork at Phoenix Platform
It is suggested to take the 👈left path 【Little Wutong】 1.5 kilometers, from Little Wutong you can take 【Lingyun Road】 or 【Dengyun Road】
【Lingyun Road☁️】 has shaky stairs, suitable for those who exercise regularly and want a challenge, leading to 【Wutong Mountain South Metro Station🚇】
【Dengyun Road☁️】 is personally recommended for beginners, leading to 【Liantang Metro Station🚇】
Taking the right path🫱 is 5.8 kilometers to 【Wutong Mountain North Gate】, which will take longer
2⃣️To the left of the large rock at Wutong Mountain's Pengcheng First Peak🫲 is another path, which is 【Bitong Road】
Going down from Bitong Road 👈left side for about 500 meters is 【Xiutong Road】, descending from here is the closest, only 2.14 kilometers, note⚠️ this path is all stairs and a bit challenging, leading down to 【Shenzhen Foreign Languages High School Metro Station🚇】
Going down from Bitong Road 👉right side is 【Bitong Road】, walk 3.7 kilometers to 【Haishang Metro Station🚇】
3⃣️Behind the large rock at Wutong Mountain's Pengcheng First Peak is a path, about 20 meters down there's a three-way fork,
The left one is a semi-circular route around the mountain top,
The straight path leads to 【Tai Shui Jian】−【Fengming Path】-【Hero Slope】, and once you reach Hero Slope, you'll know the way
The right path is not recommended

The Wutong Mountain is a sea of blooming Rhododendron moulmainense
Wutong Mountain, you really know how to put on a show. In March, the Rhododendron moulmainense on Wutong Mountain bloom en masse from the peak to the valley, creating an incredibly beautiful scene. If you miss the last few days of this most beautiful blooming period, you'll also miss the springtime in Shenzhen.
At the top of Wutong Mountain, clouds and mist intertwine with clusters of flowers, and the spring breeze gently sways them. This world-class 'urban sea of flowers' seems to possess some kind of 'magic', bursting with delicate colors and decorating the entire Wutong Mountain like a fairyland,

Wutong Mountain in Shenzhen
The scenery on the mountain is really beautiful. It's tiring, but I climbed for a total of 8 hours with many stops and photo sessions. I started climbing around 8:00 AM, choosing the most challenging but shortest route, Xiutong Trail. Along the way, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and took pictures, with long rest periods. I came down the mountain at about 16:00. The total time spent was nearly 8 hours. Although it was exhausting and I took many breaks, the moment I reached the summit, I felt it was all worth it. I'm glad I persevered. It was a great climb, considering my abilities.🧗🏻♀️

We chose route 1⃣️, climbing both Big and Small Wutong, it takes about 6-7 hours, all on foot, without any tools~ It feels very tiring! My feet were useless the next day😖
⚠️【Some practical tips】
1⃣️If you plan to take photos on the mountain, be sure to choose a sunny day! Although it was sunny this time, there was fog overall, and the visibility was not very good, so the photos taken on the mountain were not very clear and good-looking~
2⃣️Friends who like to take photos remember to bring a telephoto lens📷 There are many places on the mountain that are very photogenic, especially the TV tower of Small Wutong, whether it is watching the sunset or taking cityscape photos are excellent❗️
3⃣️Drones are not allowed at the Small Wutong TV Tower, but they are allowed elsewhere~
4⃣️You don't need to bring too much dry food and food, there are things for sale on the mountain! There is a small shop at each rest platform, try to travel light (except for those who take photos)
5⃣️There are no cable cars or sedan chairs on Wutong Mountain, you have to walk all the way, everyone must be prepared with sufficient physical strength!

🕙Opening hours:
Free all day, I secretly tell you that there are many night climbers to watch the sunrise in Phoenix, but be sure to pay attention to safety, it is recommended to go early in the day if you are not familiar with it.
🌟Itinerary:
1. Special reminder: The whole climbing process of Phoenix Mountain, it takes about 4 to 5 hours to climb to the top of the mountain, and about 2 hours to descend the mountain (varying from person to person). Climbers must be well prepared for the trip, arrange the time reasonably, and there is a distance to buy food and water on the mountain. It is recommended to bring some food and water to replenish energy when climbing the mountain. For safety considerations, it is recommended to start climbing in the morning. Tourists from other places can find a hotel at the foot of the mountain first, there is no place to live on the top of the mountain, and climb the mountain after a good rest.
2. During the climbing process, after having breakfast in the morning, we brought some dry food and water, and a few small partners started climbing with laughter. There are two roads up the mountain, one is steep and short, and the other is gentle and long. We parked our car at Xiantong Sports Park parking lot, followed the crowd from the side of the sports park to start climbing, entered from Lingyun Road, took pictures while walking, and stopped. The scenery along the way is beautiful, the road ahead is okay, not very steep, and the physical strength is okay, and then climbed to Xiaowutong, saw the Shenzhen TV Tower, and felt a bit unable to climb at this time. We rested and ate something, and made some adjustments.
3. After passing Xiaowutong, passing Rhododendron Valley, Wanhua Screen, Phoenix Terrace, after arriving at Good Man Road, there are many steep steps, and I can't walk a bit, my legs start to tremble, and the rest adjustment is more frequent. , Encourage and cheer with climbers along the way, and finally arrived at Good Man Slope, not far from the top of the mountain, Big Wutong, after a rest, climbed for a while, when I saw the big characters of Pengcheng First Peak, I arrived at the top of the mountain, standing on the top of the mountain Looking down, it feels great to have a panoramic view of all the mountains.
4. There is a masked band on the top of Phoenix Mountain that has been singing here for a long time. I don't know if he climbs the mountain every day, how the musical instruments and sound come up, haha, listen to the song and blow the wind on the top of the mountain, about 1 hour later, we started to descend the mountain, and the soreness of the legs came immediately. At this time, you will feel how wise others are with trekking poles
5. After descending to the foot of the mountain, at this time, I obviously feel that my physical strength is consumed, and the feeling of hunger comes up. At this time, I can find something to eat nearby
📌Small Tips:
Be sure to pay attention to safety when climbing, eat and drink enough when climbing, replenish physical strength, and prepare some functional drinks such as Pocari Sweat and light salt water during the climbing process.
