Geography[edit]
Zhuozi Mountain runs north-south,[8] about 75 kilometers long,[9] with the southern edge of Helan Mountains across the Yellow River.[10]
The main peak of the Zhuozi Mountain is 2,149 meters above sea level,[11] and its top is flat and table-like, so it is called "Table Mountain".[12]
At the western foot of Zhuozi Mountain, there is the Rock Paintings of Zhuozi Mountain,[13] dating back to more than 5000 years ago,[14] which is a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in China.[15]
