Jiǔlǐngshān

The Jiuling Mountains extend across northwestern Jiangxi, forming a watershed between the Xiu River to the north and the Jin River basin to the south. Their ridges run generally northeast to southwest, with the summit of Jiulingjian rising above the surrounding valleys. Forested slopes and streams descend from the range towards the river basins on either side. The mountains separate the lowlands of Jing’an and Wuning while linking the uplands farther west.
