Yandangshan National Park


Yandang Mountains is located in China

Yandang Mountains, or Yandang Shan (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: 雁蕩山; pinyin: Yàndàngshān; literally "Wild goose pond mountain(s)"), in the broad sense, refers to a coastal mountain range in southeastern Zhejiang province in eastern China, covering much of the prefecture-level city of Wenzhou (from Pingyang County in the south to Yueqing County in the northeast) and extending to the county-level city of Wenling in Taizhou prefecture. The mountain range is divided in two by the Oujiang River, the two parts being the North Yandangshan and South Yandangshan. It is common that "Yandangshan" is used to refer more narrowly to a specific part of the North Yandangshan, an ancient caldera near a small town of the same name (Chinese: 雁荡镇; pinyin: Yàndàngzhèn). The highest peaks of North Yandangshan are located here, and this is also the main touristic spot. In this article, name "Yandang Mountains" is used to refer the mountain range, and the "Mt. Yandang" to the caldera near Yandangzhen.
