Zhuozi Mountain
mountain in People's Republic of China
Zhuozi Mountain or Zhuozi Shan (Chinese: 桌子山; pinyin: Zhuōzi shān), also known as Mount Zhuozi or West Zhuozi Mountain (西桌子山), is located in the east of Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China, in the west of the Ordos Plateau.
Geography
Zhuozi Mountain runs north-south, about 75 kilometers long, with the southern edge of Helan Mountains across the Yellow River.
The main peak of the Zhuozi Mountain is 2,149 meters above sea level, and its top is flat and table-like, so it is called "Table Mountain".
At the western foot of Zhuozi Mountain, there is the Rock Paintings of Zhuozi Mountain, dating back to more than 5000 years ago, which is a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in China.

Why this record matters
The phrase “mountain in People's Republic of China” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28795755. Authority coordinates are 39.570, 107.031. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
