Wutong Mountain (Chinese: 梧桐山; pinyin: Wútóng Shān; Jyutping: Ng4tung4 saan1; Hong Kong Hakka: Ng2tung2san1) is a mountain located near the border of Luohu and Yantian in Shenzhen, China. At 943.7m, it is the tallest mountain in Shenzhen. The mountain is also source of the Shenzhen River.

Wutong Mountain is a state-level urban scenic area with landscape features such as the integration of mountains, sea and lake, the integration of landscape and city, the overview of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and the main functions of ecological and scenic resource protection, science popularization and scientific research, leisure, and sightseeing.

The main attraction of Wutong Mountain is the two main peaks of Big Wutong (Chinese: 大梧桐; pinyin: Dā Wútóng) and Little Wutong (Chinese: 小梧桐; pinyin: Xiǎo Wútóng). The Big Wutong is the highest peak in Shenzhen.[1]

Etymology

The name of Wutong comes from the earliest Chinese poetry book, Classic of Poetry (Chinese: 诗经; pinyin: Shījīng). Wutong tree is the Chinese parasol tree. The poem describes the growth of the Wutong tree, which makes the phoenix cry. Phoenix flew from the South China Sea to the North, only in the Wutong tree to fall, visible the nobleness of the plant. The legend of "Phoenix dwelling on Wutong Tree" is widely spread among the people. Therefore, the Wutong tree is endowed with spirituality and expresses people's good wishes for Wutong Mountain.

As for other possible etymologies of Wutong Mountain, according to Shenzhen Evening News, there are three possible speculations.[2] The first speculation about the source of the name is based on the observation that the hills of Wutong Mountain undulate. Overlooking Mount Wutong, she was like a centipede, snaking for dozens of miles. That's why it was originally called "Centipede Mountain". Since the pronunciation of centipede in Mandarin (Chinese: 蜈蚣; pinyin: Wúgōng) is similar to Wutong, its name slowly evolved into Wutong Mountain. A second speculation is that the name is due to the fact that Wutong Mountain is dotted with thistle, which is a type of plant that pronounced the same as "Wutong" in mandarin. A third speculation about the etymology is that Wutong Mountain is named for its rich "strange grass of Chinese parasol tree", which refers to spiritual plants such as the Chinese parasol tree, plants of the orchid family and other plants with high ornamental and medicinal value.
