    Zhuozi Mountain or Zhuozi Shan[3] (Chinese: 桌子山[4]; pinyin: Zhuōzi shān), also known as Mount Zhuozi[5] or West Zhuozi Mountain (西桌子山),[6] is located in the east of Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China,[7] in the west of the Ordos Plateau. [5]

    Geography

    Zhuozi Mountain runs north-south,[8] about 75 kilometers long,[9] with the southern edge of Helan Mountains across the Yellow River.[10]

    The main peak of the Zhuozi Mountain is 2,149 meters above sea level,[11] and its top is flat and table-like, so it is called "Table Mountain".[12]

    At the western foot of Zhuozi Mountain, there is the Rock Paintings of Zhuozi Mountain,[13] dating back to more than 5000 years ago,[14] which is a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in China.[15]
