Waterfalls and mist curling around the peaks add much to the beauty of the
mountain; peaks are thick with pines which rustle (沙沙作响) like a murmuring stream
in a gentle wind but roar (咆哮) like angry waves when the wind blows hard. The
mountain is particularly exquisite (赏心悦目的) in autumn, when most of its trees
turn golden and red. Shaoshishan (少室山), the highest peak of
Songshan, is a spot not to be missed. The top provides a panoramic (全景的) view of
the surrounding peaks, wave-like forest-covered hills and other beautiful
sights. In order to reach the top of Shaoshishan, you must run the risk of
passing a one-meter-wide passage between the steep cliffs (峭壁), with the help of
iron chains along the passage. Songshan is located in Henan
