Lüliang Mountains

The Lüliang Mountains (simplified Chinese: 吕梁山脉; traditional Chinese: 呂梁山脈; pinyin: Lǚliáng Shānmài) is a mountain range along the western border of Shanxi, China. To the west is Shaanxi with the south-flowing part of the Yellow River and the Ordos Region. To the east is the central valley of Shanxi with the south-flowing Fen River and then the Taihang Mountains and the North China Plain. At the southern end of the mountains the Fen River swings west to join the Yellow River.

The Lüliang and Taihang Mountains are part of an ill-defined mountain belt that runs from the Greater Khingan Mountains in Manchuria to the Three Gorges region and forms the western border of the Chinese coastal plain.
