Qionglai Mountains (simplified Chinese:邛崃山;traditional Chinese:邛崍山;pinyin:Qiónglái Shān) is a mountain range in theSichuan Province of China. It runs in the general north-south direction, and is located mostly within theNgawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, in the north-central part of the province.
The Qionglai Range separates the basins of two major rivers of Sichuan: theDadu River (to the west) and theMin River (to the east). Both rivers flow in the general southern direction, and are tributaries of theYangtze.
The highest point of the Qionglai Mountains isMount Siguniang (四姑娘山, "Four Girls' Mountain"), 6250 m in elevation; it is located in the southern part of the range. Some of theSichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries - in particular, theWolong Nature Reserve and the Mt. Siguniang Scenic Park (四姑娘山风景名胜区) are located nearby.
Thecharacteristic ecosystem of the Qionglai Mountains and theMin Mountains (a smaller mountain range which is located to the northeast of the Qionglai, separated from it by the Min River valley) has been described by theWorld Wildlife Fund as theQionglai-Minshan conifer forests.[2]
