Photo taken on June 4, 2014 shows the landscape in Taihang Mountains. The Taihang Mountains are a Chinese mountain range running down the eastern edge of the Loess Plateau in Shanxi, Henan and Hebei provinces. The range extends over 400 kilometers from north to south and has an average elevation of 1,500 to 2,000 meters. The principal peak is Xiao Wutaishan. Cangyan Shan in Hebei forms the eastern tip of the Taihang range. The name of Shanxi province, meaning "west of the mountains", derives from its location west of the Taihang Mountains, as does the name of Shandong province (east of the mountains).(Chinapic.people.cn)
