## About Mount Shaoshi

The main peak of Shaoshi Mountain, Lianantian Peak, stands 1,512 metres above sea level and is the highest peak of Mount Song. Climbing Shaoshi Mountain requires following a crevice in the cliff face barely a metre wide, grabbing iron rings and pulling on steel cables, and its steepness is intimidating. But once you reach the summit and look out over the green mountains and rolling forests, you will feel as though you have arrived in a fairyland, and every hardship will have been worth it.
