'Five Mountains'), is a major mountain range in Southern China that separates the Pearl River Basin from the Yangtze Valley and serves as the dividing line between south and central subtropical zones. The main range of Nanling Mountains stretch west to east about 600 kilometers (370 mi) from Guilin and Hezhou of the eastern Guangxi to Ganzhou of the southern Jiangxi, north to south about 200 kilometres (120 mi) from Yongzhou and Chenzhou of the southern Hunan to Qingyuan and Shaoguan of the northern Guangdong; With its branches, the whole mountains run west to east 1,400 kilometers (870 mi).There are trough basins in the Nanling, the most of the western basins in Nanling Mountains are composed of limestone, where karst regions are located. the most of the eastern basins are made up of red sandstone, where are danxia landform areas.

1. Nan Mountains

   The Nan Mountains, also known as the "Five Ranges", are a group of mountain ranges in Southern China, running through the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guangdong Province, and Hunan Province. The five mountain ranges that make up the Nanling are the Yuecheng Mountains, Dupang Mountains Mengju Mountains, Qitan Mountains and Dayu Mountains. The Nanling mountains separate Central China from South China. Areas south of the ranges are tropical in climate, permitting two crops of white rice to be grown each year.
