About
Fenghuang Mountain (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Fènghuáng Shān, lit. 'Phoenix Mountain') is a low mountain range located east of the mouth of the Pearl River, in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. The ridge forms a crescent shape, and its highest peak reaches an altitude of about 376 meters. It is protected as a forest park of Bao'an District. Partway up the western part of the mountain, at an altitude of 190 meters, there is a Buddhist temple, Fengyan Temple, which receives many worshippers on public holidays. At the foot of the mountain to the southwest is Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport as well as some of Shenzhen's main transportation arteries, National Highway 107 and the Guangshen Expressway. To the southeast is Tiegang Reservoir, a source of drinking water for Bao'an District. On a 300-meter peak at the southern end of the range is a television transmission tower.
