Climbing Shenzhen Tianti Meishajian, a good place for holiday hiking
Cross the mountains and go to the sea of clouds together☁️
Meishajian is the third highest peak in Shenzhen⛰
753 meters above sea level
Even during holidays, there are few people, it is quiet, and no one will disturb you no matter how you take photos😂
Beautiful mountain view
If there are a lot of clouds, you can also experience the feeling of being in the sea of clouds☁️
There are three trailheads to climb Meishajian, and the time required for different trailheads is also different⬇️⬇️⬇️
①Chaxi Valley Trailhead🚏
👍The most convenient entrance to the mountain
🚌You can take the bus directly to the mountain trail, and take the 909 minibus from OCT East to the Interlaken Hotel. It is said to be 15 yuan per person (bus cards cannot be used, but WeChat and Alipay can be used). Queue up to get on the bus and leave when it is full. After getting off the bus, walk forward and you will find the entrance to the hiking trail on your left.
⏰The whole journey is about 2.3 kilometers and takes 1-1.5 hours
②Shanhai Grand View Trailhead🚏
👍The trailhead closest to the summit, with the best views
🚗There is no bus, you can only drive or take a taxi, navigate to the Shanhai Grand View Observation Deck, there is a free parking lot and the only toilet
⏰It only takes 1-1.5 hours to reach the top, and the scenery along the way is the best of the three routes.
③Yantian Checkpoint Trailhead🚏
👍The road is the easiest to walk, but the route is the longest
🚞Take Line 8 to Exit E of Yantian Road Station. It is still several kilometers away from the mountain trail. Navigate to the Special Service Squadron of the Patrol Brigade of the Yantian Public Security Bureau, and then walk along the greenway to the entrance of the Yantian Checkpoint.
⏰From the entrance to the hiking trail, it is about 7 kilometers, which is suitable for cycling enthusiasts; the hiking trail to the peak of Meishajian is about 2 kilometers, which takes 40 minutes to 1 hour.
We took the third route, which was the longest. After getting out of the subway, we followed the navigation and rode our bikes for 20 minutes. We could see the uphill road. Because it was all uphill, it was not recommended for non-professional cyclists. We parked our bikes and walked up.
From here you still have to walk a distance to reach the greenway of the scenic area. After entering, you can follow the instructions or follow the navigation. It took about 1.5 hours to reach the trailhead.
Because the scenic area prohibits foreign vehicles, the greenway is less crowded and has few cars, making it very quiet.
After reaching the trailhead, we walked all the way to the top of the mountain. It took about ⏰ 40 minutes. There were signs for wild boars on the way up the mountain. I asked other people and they said that wild boars usually don’t come out to forage during the day, so we can go up safely.
This hiking trail has the fewest steps and the environment is beautiful.
After reaching the top of the mountain, I didn’t stop to watch the sunset. It is said that the sunset is also very beautiful.
In summary, it is quiet and suitable for quiet mountain climbing.
⭕️Tips
1⃣ The greenway on route ③ is very sunny, so be sure to take sunscreen
2⃣There are many mosquitoes on the mountain, so anti-mosquito measures are needed
3⃣ You don’t need to bring too much water. There are boxes of water placed along the way. Scan the code and pay 5 yuan per bottle.
4⃣ Be sure to replenish water at the trailhead, as there is no water for sale on the mountain
If you can't walk on the greenway of route ③, you can call a motorcycle to take you there.
