Climbing up Small Wutong ❤️

Hiking Wutong Mountain is one of the most popular activity here in Shenzhen. They say its a great way to get exercise and breathtaking vistas. It is located in Luohu district in Shenzhen. There are 3 main peaks, namely the Small Wutong, Bean curd head, and the Great Wutong. Great Wutong is the highest peak in Shenzhen with a 943.7 meters altitude (3,096ft) while Small Wutong is is 200 meters lower than the Great Wutong. For a first timer hiker like me, its a better option to try to climb first the Small Wutong. Dont get twisted, Small Wutong is pretty high too. And climbing it took me 3 hours and 45minutes to be exact. I took the West hiking route starting from the Wutong archway, all the way to the Greenway, to the Small Wutong peak, and went down to those veryyyyy steep and challenging stairs goin to South entrance. Descending took me 2 hours. The hazy atmosphere makes it harder because the road and trails are slippery. Fog and mist will welcome you as soon a you reach the peak. Its windy and the temperature definitely is way cooler than at the foot of the mountain. They say in a clear day, you can see the rolling hills clearly and the dense forest below. I will definitely comeback. For my second climb, will try to reach the pinnacle of Great Wutong. Jiayou! ❤️ #travellater #wheninshenzhen #solofemaletraveller #hikingtrails #thisischina #wutongmountain
