The famous Wutong Rock near Shenzhen has turned out to be quite hollow and an obvious fake. A large hole at the back of the supposedly stony boulder exposes the interior. Instead of solid rock, there is a wire frame and a brick wall. The „rock“ on the hill is a popular tourist destination because it is said to offer the best view of the southern Chinese metropolis. The fact that it is not a natural rock at all but a construction by crafty marketers gives it a presumably unique Chinese characteristic. According to local media reports, two hikers discovered the hole when they climbed behind a barrier to take a photo. The park management is now said to have officially confirmed the renovation of the object and announced future mystical tours for late November.
