We all know that the mountains of China are vast, magnificent, majestic and beautiful. We are proud of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. But do you know where the shortest mountain in the world is? That’s right, it’s also in China. This mountain is only 0.6 meters tall, which subverts everyone’s understanding of what a mountain should be, right? No matter how short a mountain is, it can’t be lower than 10 meters, right? But this mountain is incredibly short. Today, we will talk about the origin of this mountain.
I. The size of Jing Mountain
Jing Mountain is 1.24 meters long, 0.7 meters wide and 0.6 meters high.
II. Geographic location
Jing Mountain is located in Shouguang City, Shandong Province, 8 kilometers southwest of the county town, in the fields between Sunjia Village and Majiazhuang Village.
III. Why is Jing Mountain a mountain?
Although Jing Mountain is small, it has been recorded in China since the late Qing Dynasty.
So why is Jing Mountain called a mountain? Here are the main reasons:
1. When Jing Mountain was first discovered, it was actually “cyberbullied”. There were several experts who came to excavate it, but they could not find the bottom, so it was confirmed to be a mountain.
2. Modern geography defines a mountain as follows: mountains with a relative height of over 1000 meters are called high mountains, those between 350 and 1000 meters are called middle mountains, those between 350 and 150 meters are called low mountains, and those with a main peak lower than 150 meters are generally not called mountains but hills.
However, Jing Mountain was discovered very early, so it was barely called a “mountain”.
