The Liupanshan Mountains, also known as Longshan Mountains, strech
across Gansu Province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and part
North Shanxi from the Central Gansu Plateau.The main peak is abut
3,000 meters above sea level, with zigzagging roads spiraling six
times to the top, hence the name. With large forests and rich resources,
the Liupanshan Mountains are known as a green pearl on the Loess Plateau.
The area is also regarded as a "Kingdom of Animals" on a
dry land for its great deversity of animals and insects. The Old Dragon
Pool and the White Cloud Mountain boast marvelous, beautiful scenery
of lake and mountain with characteristics of that in northern and
southern China. As a place where many national groups live together,
the area is endowed with a lot of historical remains as a result of
thousands of years of mingling of the Nomad and Central Chinese cultures.
During the Long March in 1935, the Red Army crossed the Liupanshan
Mountains, and Mao Zedong composed magnificent poems about it.
