🏔️ Longquan Mountains

The Longquan Mountains are a low-lying range of mountains in Sichuan, China. The mountains are 200 km (120 mi) long, on average 10 km (6.2 mi) wide, and form a ridge-like barrier between the Chengdu Plain and the rest of the Sichuan Basin. They range from Deyang in the north to Leshan in the south. The highest point of the range is Ximei Mountain (西眉山) at 1,045 m (3,428 ft) in Zhongjiang County. The Longquan are bisected by the Tuo River in the north that forms a 400 m (1,300 ft)-deep gorge through the mountains.
