Guangdong Wutong Mountain National Forest Park

Guangdong Wutong Mountain National Forest Park spans the three districts of Luohu, Yantian, and Longgang. It is characterized by its mountainous terrain and dense evergreen broad-leaved forests, which are home to rare plants such as prickly tree ferns and plum yews. The main peak, Big Wutong, has an altitude of approx. 944 m. The mountain is shrouded in mist and clouds all year round, creating ever-changing scenery, which is why "Wutong Mist and Clouds" has become a well-known view here.

The park is divided into eight major scenic areas: Donghu Mist and Rain, Bufeng Pagoda Shadow, Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, Xiantong Scenic Area, Fenggu Mingqin Scenic Area, Wutong Mist and Clouds Scenic Area, Biwu Qifeng, and Xikeng. There are various routes to reach the summit of Big Wutong: The Taishan Stream route on the Wutong Mountain Village side follows the stream upward, with stone steps winding through dense shade and creeks, and markers along the way indicate the altitude; the Bitong Trail on the Yantian side is longer and suitable for hikers with good stamina; the Dengyun Trail in Liantang features well-maintained stone steps, making it more beginner-friendly. Standing on the summit, you can take in the entire city of Shenzhen to the west, and overlook Yantian Port and the bay to the east.

Around late March each year, the Rhododendron moulmainense in the Little Wutong area enters its blooming season, and vast seas of pink and purple flowers bloom across Rhododendron Valley, Wanhua Screen, and other areas. Whether you want to see the sea of clouds, admire the rhododendrons, or climb high to view the sea, this place has something for everyone, making it a popular destination for citizens in Shenzhen and surrounding areas for weekend hiking and outings.
