秦岭, or the Qinling Mountains, is a major mountain range in central China. It stretches approximately 1,200 kilometers from west to east, separating the northern and southern regions of the country. The range is known for its diverse ecosystems, rich biodiversity, and significant cultural history. The Qinling Mountains are home to many unique species, including the famous Giant Panda. The area is also important for water resources, as several major rivers, such as the Yellow River and Yangtze River, originate from these mountains. The region is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and ecological significance.
