Qiniang Mountain is Shenzhen's second highest peak, after Wutong Mountain. Located at the southern tip of the Dapeng Peninsula, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides and stands at 869 meters above sea level. Qiniang Mountain is Shenzhen's second highest peak, second only to Wutong Mountain. Its allure lies not only in its majestic and verdant peaks, but also in its fascinating legends. Legend has it that seven fairies once wandered here, perched atop the sea like rocs, so captivated by the beauty that they refused to return to heaven. Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor summoned the Thunder God to pursue them, but they refused, refusing to yield and refusing to remain on earth. The Celestial Emperor, angered, transformed the seven peaks into seven peaks, giving them the name Qiniang Mountain.
