Lotus Mountain Range

The Lotus Mountain Range (simplified Chinese: 莲花山脉; traditional Chinese: 蓮花山脈; pinyin: Liánhuā Shānmài), or Lianhua Mountains, formerly known as "Jieyang Mountain" (揭陽山) or "Jieyang Ridge" (揭陽嶺), is the second largest mountain range in Guangdong Province of China, following the Nanling Mountains. It originates in northeast Guangdong and runs southwest for approximately 400 kilometers to Daya Bay of the South China Sea, connecting to Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macao and Guangzhou. The tallest peak of the range is 1,559 meters high. And there are several branch ranges, which forms the watershed between the Han River, Rong River, Dongjiang River, Meijiang River and other coastal rivers flowing directly into the sea.
