I’ve only studied Chinese for a couple of months. Can anyone tell me the Chinese characters for “top of the mountain?”
“山顶” are the Chinese characters for “top of the mountain.” I’ve got another question from studying Chinese. I know that the word “登山” also means “mountain climbing.” What’s the difference between “登山” and “爬山”?
I love studying Chinese. I learned that when people choose a scenic spot to climb it is called “爬山.” But “登山” might refer to a more professional usage, like the extreme sport for example.
I think shang shan is correct.
