Límǔshān

Límǔshān rises in the forested interior of Hainan, where rain feeds the headwaters of the island's major rivers. Streams from these mountains flow towards the Nándù, Wànquán and Chānghuà rivers, which reach different coasts. The mountain is also associated with the ancestry of the Li people. In one story recorded in local writings, a woman born from an egg in the mountains became known as the Li Mother, and her descendants established communities in the island's uplands.
