Rising above Shenzhen’s skyline, Wutong Mountain unfolds as a lush range crowned by Xiao Wutong, Doufutou and Da Wutong – the city’s highest point at 943.7 meters. Known historically as the Three Competing Peaks for their striking silhouettes, this green masterwork serves as a vital carbon sink and buffer against urban heat islands, with 88.6% forest coverage sheltering more than 1,800 plant species.
This November 2025, Wutong Mountain takes center stage as the host trails for the marathon event of China’s 15th National Games. Athletes from across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will conquer its winding paths, blending high-altitude endurance with panoramic views of the city and the sea beyond.
For young global citizens, this moment captures the spirit of sustainable sports tourism: a place where data-driven environmental stewardship meets cross-region athletic exchange. Digital nomads and travelers can tune into live panoramic streams, lace up their running shoes for an immersive trail run, or explore rare Uygur and subtropical plant habitats.
As Shenzhen redefines urban resilience and cross-border collaboration, Wutong Mountain stands as both a natural sanctuary and a sporting arena. Whether you’re cheering on marathoners or seeking your next regenerative adventure, this mountain beckons with fresh perspectives and real-world impact.
