Live Your Best Lives
Shenzhen, also known as Pengcheng, is a municipality under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province. Located in southern Guangdong, it sits on the eastern shore of the Pearl River Delta, separated from Hong Kong by a stretch of water. It borders Daya Bay and Dapeng Bay to the east, the Pearl River Estuary and the Lingdingyang to the west, Hong Kong to the south across the Shenzhen River, and Dongguan and Huizhou to the north. Rich in geological and tourism resources, Shenzhen is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts!
We love the mountains, climbing over them, and the paths we take are constantly changing: mountain paths, wild roads, gravel roads. Standing on a mountaintop, sweat dripping, a gentle breeze on your face, it feels like the world is yours. What are you waiting for? Join us for a hike!
Wutong Mountain, with its main peak at 943.7 meters, is Shenzhen's highest point. It's a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and locals. There are several routes to climb Wutong Mountain. Starting from Wutong Mountain Village, you can follow the Luolongjie route up to the summit, then descend the century-old ancient road back to Wutong Mountain Village. This is a more outdoor route. For first-time hikers, we recommend starting from Wutong Mountain Village, ascending Haohanpo, then descending the winding mountain road back to Wutong Village. This is an easy-to-reach route, mostly on trails, and is relatively safe.
