\u9f9f\u4ed9\u77f3 sits atop Shenzhen’s sixth highest peak. This is known as 排牙山 or Pai Ya Mountain. Some call it “Little Mount Hua of Shenzhen”. Others dub it “Shenzhen’s First Perilous Peak”. The mountain offers stunning views. Three sides are surrounded by the sea. Jagged rocks form a dramatic landscape. From the south, the peaks resemble uneven teeth.
People flock to \u9f9f\u4ed9\u77f3 for its dangerous beauty. It’s a popular spot to take photos. Adventurers try daring poses. Some suspend themselves from the rock. They create an “L” shape with their bodies. This quest for the perfect shot has a dark side.
Recently a video circulated online. A tourist at \u9f9f\u4ed9\u77f3 attempted a risky pose. They gripped the rock with both hands. Then they leaned back. Their feet dangled in the air. The tourist lost their grip and fell. Luckily someone caught them. The video has since been deleted.
This isn’t the first incident here. Shenzhen’s Dapeng office reports similar accidents. Authorities have responded with safety measures. Warning signs line mountain paths. Staff patrol regularly. They record visitor information at the entrance. They also caution against unsafe behavior.
