- the Qionglai Range in the west
- the Longmen Mountains in the northwest
- the Daba in the northeast.
The Yangtze River, flowing from the Sichuan Basin into the eastern China, passes through the Three Gorges in the Wu Mountains.

Famous quotes containing the word mountain:
“Fogs and clouds which conceal the overshadowing mountains lend the breadth of the plains to mountain vales. Even the small-featured country acquires some grandeur in stormy weather when clouds are seen drifting between the beholder and the neighboring hills.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
