摘要
五岭逶迤的群山,伸展到广西东北部之后,在离历史文化名城,著名的国际旅游胜地桂林市北部76公里的地方,耸起了海拔2141.5米的高峰—猫儿山,形成了华南之巅、五岭之首。 猫儿山的山体古老,在5亿多年前,由于地壳运动褶皱成山,山体狭长、山峰高峻、层峦叠嶂。海拔2000米以上的山峰就有10座。
The Maoer Mountain, 2,141.5 meters above sea level, is 76 km north to Guilin, a world famous resort in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.It has 10 peaks of more than 2,000 meters above sea level. On the mountain, there are more than 2,000 kinds of plants and 1,000 varieties of animals. Thirty-nine rivers, including three famous ones-the Lijiang, the Xunjiang and the Zijiang-originate in the Maoer Mountain.The mountain, with complicated geological conditions and severe weather changes, is home to many rare plants. In a seven-square-km area which is 1,700-1,900 meters above sea level Chinese Hemlock trees grow. Some of them are 400 years old.
