How tall is Wu Tong in Shenzhen?

Wu Tong in Shenzhen is 943.7 meters above sea level.

Wu Tong has three main peaks, namely, Little Wu Tong, Tofu Head and Big Wu Tong (with an altitude of 692m/706m/944m respectively), which are called "Three Peaks Show" in history, among which the Big Wu Tong is the first peak in Shenzhen with an altitude of 943.7m.. ..

Wu Tong is the main distribution area of natural evergreen broad-leaved forest, with a forest area of 1933.3 hectares, which is regularly divided into south subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, south subtropical mountain evergreen broad-leaved forest and hilltop dwarf forest.

Wu Tong is the birthplace of Shenzhen River. The mountain springs of the main peak in Wu Tong converge into "Tianchi" and fly straight down to "Longtan". After that, it passes through Longzhu Mountain and Bagu to form a river, which extends westward between Luohu in Shenzhen and the New Territories in Hong Kong and flows to the sea surface of Shenzhen Bay, becoming the "boundary river" between Hong Kong and Shenzhen in history.

The origin of Wu Tongshan's name:

There are three theories about the origin of the name Wu Tong. The first guess is that Wutong Mountain is undulating, overlooking Wutong Mountain, like a centipede, winding for dozens of miles, so it was originally called centipede mountain. However, because Wu Tong and centipede are only homophonic, there are rumors that Wu Tong has gradually evolved into Wu Tong.

The second conjecture is that there is a large area of Tribulus terrestris distributed in Wu Tong Mountain. Some people call tribulus terrestris a tung tree or a phoenix tree, so it is named after tribulus terrestris. The third guess is that Wu Tong got his name because he was rich in phoenix tree and exotic grass. Here, the Chinese parasol and exotic plants refer to plants with spirituality like Chinese parasol, such as Orchidaceae and other plants with high ornamental and medicinal value.
