China: Mount Tianzi

Tianzi Mountain  is located in Zhangjiajie in the Hunan Province of China, close to the Suoxi Valley in South Central China. It is named after the farmer Xiang Dakun of the Tujia ethnic group, who led a successful local farmers' revolt and called himself "Tianzi", meaning son of Heaven and is the traditional epithet of the Chinese emperor. These giant, pillar-like mountains have a peak of 1,212 m (3,976 ft). The area taken up by these mountains is about 67 square kilometres (17,000 acres).
