Wutong Mountain, Shenzhen's ecological crown jewel, has become a focal point for sports enthusiasts as it prepares to host the marathon event of China's 15th National Games this year. With its 943.7-meter Da Wutong peak offering panoramic views of the city and neighboring Hong Kong, the mountain's 88.6% forest coverage provides both a natural oxygen bar and a dramatic competition backdrop.
The event marks a significant milestone in cross-regional collaboration within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with infrastructure upgrades enhancing accessibility for athletes and spectators. Local authorities highlight how the games leverage Shenzhen's unique geography to promote sustainable urban development through eco-tourism.
As runners train on newly developed trails, visitors can explore three historic summits – Xiao Wutong, Doufutou, and Da Wutong – while observing conservation efforts protecting rare subtropical flora. The games' organizers emphasize this fusion of competitive spirit and environmental stewardship as a model for future national sporting events.
