When looking at the map of Shenzhen, one cannot miss the green mountain ridge(山脊) spreading nearly 200 kilometres across the city. It is called the Kunpeng Trail. Considered as one of China's top 10 hiking places for 2024, the trail has quickly become a symbol of Shenzhen's natural beauty.
The name "Kunpeng" comes from two creatures in ancient Chinese myths—Kun, a giant fish, and Peng, a huge bird. Together, they stand for the spirit of exploration and adventure.
Starting from Bao'an and ending in Dapeng, the Kunpeng Trail is Shenzhen's longest hiking trail. The trail has 20 parts and connects 10 big mountains, around 20 parks, many lakes, cultural sites, over 30 city areas, and 9 key development zones.
Along the way, hikers can enjoy forests, rivers, and beautiful coastlines. The trail offers a special way to enjoy Shenzhen's different landscapes which are also served as a home for nearly 10,000 kinds of plants and wild animals.
According to the Shenzhen Municipal Urban Management Bureau, the trail is designed for people with different levels of outdoor experience. Each part has entry and exit(出口) points, allowing hikers to choose how far they want to go.
The western area of the trail has easy paths, perfect for families with young children. The central area, attracting experienced hikers, is more difficult, while the eastern area is the most challenging, with high mountains and rough paths. The trail has clear signs every 500 metres, marked from YK000 to YK415, where "Y" means hiking and "K" stands for Kunpeng.
Whether you are an experienced hiker or a first-time visitor, there is something exciting waiting for you along different parts of the trail.
