About Wutong Mountain

Big Wutong and Little Wutong are the principal named summits. The mountain is also the source area of the Shenzhen River, and clear conditions can open views towards Mirs Bay and the hills across the Hong Kong boundary.

There are several approaches with different gradients and lengths. Wutong Village is a common starting point, with a broad uphill road as well as connections to steeper summit routes. Choose a turnaround point that suits the weather and your ability: a lower-slope outing and a climb to Big Wutong are substantially different days.

What to look for

  • Little Wutong and Big Wutong provide different summit objectives within the same range.
  • Clear-weather views can take in Mirs Bay and the mountains of Hong Kong’s New Territories.
  • The contrast between wooded slopes and the built-up city is visible along the ascent.

The surrounding area

A separate major city for waterfront leisure, contemporary urban life, Nantou and longer excursions toward Dapeng.

Getting to Wutong Mountain

Wutong Village is a named western starting point in the local guide. Arrange the final transfer to the village or another chosen trail entrance, then follow the on-site route information; the approaches from Yantian, Liantang and the northern side are separate routes.

General visit reminders

Allow room for the terrain and weather when choosing your route. Check the operator’s current trail, shuttle and cableway notices where applicable, and confirm the return connection before setting out. A broad landscape pin does not identify every trailhead or access point.
