Instead of standing in nature in dead silence, they could be as majestic as the Scandinavian Mountains. They not only capture one’s imagination when he fastens his gaze on the top, but also offer natural gifts drawn from the mountainous and a sense of belonging for those who dwell in the comfort of foothills.

This is equally true for the mountains of Zhejiang Province. Lofty and verdant, the mountains break through wreathing clouds and the vision of those who are gazing, showcasing to them the very beauty of perseverance. The people growing up and living here, “gliding like swallows from mountain-top to mountain-top till they reach the furthest plateaus along the edge of existence”, have been endowed with inexhaustible material and spiritual wealth.

Over the mountains, bamboos clump together, and notes of music waft leisurely, alongside the sparrows symbolizing the wish for freedom. Putuo Mountain is accompanied by unending lapping of water on the shore, as if in a meditative state of Zen … Mountains, since ancient times, have unshakably been an integral part of both nature and humanity.
