Regardless of the perspective,
The Qinling Mountains
are a significant mountain range.
Situated in the eastern part of the Chinese mainland, beyond the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,
they boast the highest peaks and ridges.

Also, a myriad of rivers

flows through the mountain ranges,

contributing to the growth of the Yangtze, Yellow, and Huai Rivers

as they evolve into super rivers.
