Things to do in Guangdong, China: The Best Mountains

March 14, 2022 Layne Dawes

Guangdong (Chinese: 广东) is a province in South China, located on the South China Sea coast. Traditionally romanised as Kwangtung, Guangdong surpassed Henan and Sichuan to become the most populous province in China in January 2005, registering 79.1 million permanent residents and 31 million migrants who lived in the province for at least six months of the year; the total population was 104,303,132 in the 2010 census, accounting for 7.79 percent of Mainland China's population. This also makes it the most populous first-level administrative subdivision of any country outside the former British Raj, as its population is surpassed only by those of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The provincial capital Guangzhou and economic hub Shenzhen are among the most populous and important cities in China. The population increase since the census has been modest, the province at 2015 had 108,500,000 people.

Buggies available for a fee (RMB20 or so in addition to the entrance fee) to bring you up the mountain to various stops (5 stops in total that covers the key sites, despite the map showing 6 stops) on a hop-on/hop-off basis. This saves you time and energy from walking. Would also recommend the boat ride + hike at Butterfly valley where u can go into the forest and view the waterfalls. Very scenic landscape! The hike is ~30mins or so and there are some rather steep and uneven steps to climb though generally not too challenging and does not require any special hiking tools. Some parts might be slippery so care must be taken. It is dry season when we visited in Dec so the grand waterfall only had trickles of water and as such we did not see its full glory. The other smaller waterfalls are ok. We spent abt half a day (8.30am to 1pm) and covered most of the sights. Though you will need more time if you intend to pray at the temple or have a proper meal in the premise. We only sat down shortly for a bean curd break. Place is easily reachable by public transport (~1 hr from city centre by bus) and is not crowded during Dec. The site is well maintained and definitely worth a visit!

Wutong Mountain

Hiking Wutong Mountain is one of Shenzhen citizens’ most popular activities (and offers trails for all experience levels). It’s a great way to get exercise and breathtaking vistas. On a clear day you can see Hong Kong.

The climb/walk is not easy... Many steps... parts are unpaved and slippery... That being said- the views are incredible... You can see clear across the city to Nanshan... Bring sunscreen, water... there are places along the route for drinks and snacks
