LOCATION
Shenzhen and the Origin of the Nickname Pengcheng
Shenzhen, established as China's first Special Economic Zone in 1980, rapidly transformed from a border town into a global tech metropolis. Neighboring Hong Kong, it is known today for its innovation, immigrant culture, and rapid growth, often called China's Silicon Valley.
Despite its modern image, Shenzhen's cultural and historical roots are anchored in Dapeng Fortress. To honor the fortress's legacy in defending the coast and to remember the city's historical origins, Shenzhen adopted the nickname Pengcheng (City of the Ancient Mythological Bird). It symbolizes the city taking off and soaring high like the legendary bird.
START POINT
Features of Dapeng Fortress History and Features
DAPENG FORTRESS, a 600-Year Monument to Coastal Defense.
In 1394 (Ming Dynasty), the government built this sturdy fortress at a strategic chokepoint between Dapeng Mountain and Dapeng Bay to defend against pirates, aptly naming it the Dapeng Coastal Defense Battalion.
For over six centuries, it served as Southern China's ironclad coastal stronghold. From battling pirates in the Ming and Qing dynasties to resisting foreign forces in the Kowloon Sea Battle, its defenders demonstrated extraordinary resilience.
Today, the fortress stands as a living museum of traditional Lingnan architecture, perfectly preserving its majestic gates, rustic flagstone streets, and over a dozen ancient mansions, including that of the famous anti-British General Lai Enjue.
INSPIRATION
The Legend of Kunpeng
The KUNPENG is a magnificent mythical creature from Xiaoyaoyou逍遥游 (Free and Easy Wandering), a classic text by the ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi 庄子.
KUN: A colossal fish living in the extremely deep and cold northern sea.
PENG: The giant fish transforms into a massive bird. When it takes flight, its wings cover the sky like clouds, and it rides the whirlwind, soaring 90,000 li (miles) high.
Inspired by the Kunpeng's profound symbol of ultimate freedom and unconstrained spirit, and echoing the rapid, soaring developmental history of Shenzhen, the local government established the Kunpeng Trail (鲲鹏径), a premier hiking route designed to rival Hong Kong's renowned MacLehose Trail.
Deeply moved by this legend, the TORX® CHN100 and SHENZHEN 100 trail running races have masterfully integrated both local geography and mythical elements into their visual identity. Channeling the Kunpeng's pursuit of boundless freedom and its skyward ambition, the races feature culturally distinctive medals and related gear. These designs beautifully capture the essence of the soaring creature alongside the unique characteristics of the racecourse, where the mountains, the sea, and the bustling city seamlessly connect.
