What mountains and rivers are there in China?

There are mainly three east-west mountains (mainly including the Five Mountains): Tianshan-Yinshan in the north; The central pillar is Kunlun Mountain-Qinling Mountain; The south is listed as Nanling.

Northeast-southwest mountainous areas are mostly distributed in the east of China, and there are mainly three rows (including seven mountains): Daxinganling-Taihang Mountain-Wushan-Xuefeng Mountain in the west; It is listed as Changbai Mountain-Wuyishan; The eastern mountains are listed as Taiwan Province Province.

Northwest-Southeast mountain ranges are mainly distributed in the west of China, and there are two famous mountain ranges: Altai Mountain and Qilian Mountain.

The arc mountain system consists of several parallel mountains, which are connected with Hengduan Mountain from east to west and north to south. The most famous mountain is the Himalayas, which is distributed on the borders of China, India, Nepal and other countries, stretching over 2,400 kilometers with an average elevation of 6,000 meters. Its main peak, Mount Everest, is 8844.43 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in the world.

There are many rivers and lakes in China. These rivers and lakes are not only an important part of China's geographical environment, but also rich in natural resources. Rivers and lakes in China are unevenly distributed, with both inflow and outflow areas. The boundary between the outflow area and the inflow area in China is roughly as follows: the northern section is roughly along the line of Daxinganling-Yinshan-Helan Mountain-Qilian Mountain (East), and the southern section is close to the annual precipitation line of 200mm (Bayankala-Gangdise Mountain). The southeast of this line is the outflow area, accounting for about 2/3 of the country's total area, the river water volume accounts for more than 95% of the country's total river water volume, and the inflow area accounts for about 1/3 of the country's total area, but the total river water volume is less than 5% of the country's total river water volume.

China has one of the largest rivers in the world. There are many rivers with a long history in China, among which there are more than 500 rivers with a basin area of over 1 1,000 square kilometers.

The famous rivers are Yangtze River, Yellow River, Pearl River, Lancang River, Yarlung Zangbo River, Huaihe River, Haihe River, Heilongjiang River and Tarim River.
