Fúniúshān

The forested Funiu Mountains stretch across western Henan, with high ridges and steep valleys between the Luo basin and the country to the south. Part of the eastern Qinling system, the range forms a watershed between tributaries of the Yellow River, the Huai and the Yangtze. The mountains also lie between northern deciduous forests and the mixed woods of the warmer south. In the valleys, streams descend from the ridges toward scattered basins and settlements.
