Mountain Ranges
Mountains frame the Sichuan Basin on all sides:
- 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:
“The mountain throws a shadow,
Thin is the moon’s horn;
What did we remember
Under the ragged thorn?
Dread has followed longing,
And our hearts are torn.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
