Two Most Heartfelt Mountains in Guangdong: One Free, the Other Just 15 Yuan - Have You Been?
The mountain is not about height, but about immortals, which gives the mountain another meaning. However, people in Guangdong only know Wutong Mountain, not Yuan Mountain. They don't realize that this Yuan Mountain is even more beloved by the people. Today, the editor will come and talk to everyone about these two most low-key and conscientious mountains, because their entrance fees are very cheap, one is free, and the other is only 15 yuan. Wutong Mountain is located in the eastern part of Shenzhen's economic special zone, located in a bustling downtown area, which has led to more tourists visiting Wutong Mountain than Yuan Mountain. Wutong Mountain's reputation is largely due to 'The Classic of Poetry' where it says 'Wutong Birds Reside', and people always hope for good fortune associated with Wutong Mountain. This is why many tourists come here for good luck, or perhaps just because it's crowded.
Wutong Mountain is the main distribution area of natural evergreen broad-leaved forests, a city's suburban wild landscape featuring coastal, mountainous, and natural vegetation. The main peak has an altitude of 943.7 meters and is the source of Shenzhen River, also Shenzhen's highest peak. The most famous areas are Fenggui Mingqin Scenic Area and Wutong Yanun Scenic Area. Wutong Mountain is primarily a natural landscape, and doesn't require entrance fees.
Conversely, Yuan Mountain is located in Yuan Mountain Street, Dacang Community, Longgang District, Guangdong. It is a mountain peak far from the center of the city, which gives it an advantage: few people and no traffic jams. Whether it's a holiday or not, you won't encounter traffic jams and can enjoy your trip freely. Yuan Mountain's vegetation largely retains its original state, with high mountains, flowing water, and a panoramic view of layered peaks and a mysterious clarity. Yuan Mountain's mountain paths are particularly remarkable, with one section almost completely covered by the jungle because it has not been artificially modified. It's like a winding path leading to a hidden gem.
If Wutong Mountain is famous for its vegetation, then Yuan Mountain is famous for its mountains and water, such as Dacang Creek and Tiger's Den. Yuan Mountain's interior is different from Wutong Mountain; the Yuan Mountain scenic area has many tourist facilities, including go-kart tracks and water parks. Yuan Mountain's entrance fee is 15 yuan, children enter for free, but doesn't include the tourist facilities inside the scenic area, which need to be purchased separately.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that these two mountains are known to many tourists, even local residents have said they only know Wutong Mountain and don't know Yuan Mountain. However, these two mountains, especially the Yuan Mountain Scenic Area within the Huaqiang Tourist Resort and Luannan Golf Club, are China's first-level AAA tourist resorts. Wutong Mountain is a national scenic and historic interest area. Do you want to go and take a look?
