Best Hiking Tips for Climbing Mount Wutong, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, China

The beautiful city of Shenzhen has been long underrated as a travel destination. However, this industrial city is also home to some wonderful Chinese foods, a good variety of beers, an up-and-coming art scene, interesting history, and more! 

If you’re looking to get away from the city scene, Shenzhen has some great hiking options just outside the centre. Rising over 900 meters above Shenzhen, Mount Wutong is an absolutely beautiful place to get away from the bustle of the city while enjoying a challenging hike through nature. Here are our top tips to get the most out of your Mount Wutong adventure!
