Shouyang Mountain was located about a hundred li to the east of Lijiang City, being a part of the southeastern Yi Ridge Mountain Range of Da Liang.
The Yi Ridge Mountain Range stretched long and narrow, starting from the southwest, skirting the East Sea, and extending toward the northeast.
Shouyang Mountain was at the very southern end of this mountain range.
The western slope of the mountain was gentle, with lush greenery everywhere. The eastern side was adjacent to the great sea and featured a sheer cliff face.
Chen Mu stood on the edge of the precipice, surveying his surroundings.
The cliff face was smooth as a mirror, as if cut by a knife and chiseled by an axe, with only a few tufts of green grass poking out from the crevices.
"Could it have been carved out by man?" Chen Mu exclaimed.
He looked down. The sea surface was a calm and deep shade of blue, its depth unknowable.
"A natural harbor?" Chen Mu realized.
