Mountain Ranges
Mountains frame the Sichuan Basin on all sides:
- the Qionglai Range in the west
- the Longmen Mountains in the northwest
- the Daba in the northeast.
The Yangtze River, flowing from the Sichuan Basin into the eastern China, passes through the Three Gorges in the Wu Mountains.

Famous quotes containing the word mountain:
“I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
Of him who walked in glory and in joy
Following his plough, along the mountain side:
By our own spirits are we deified:
We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
