The features of this landscape indicate that it is an interpretation of the scenery at Mount Huang, an area famous for its sheer cliffs and gnarled pine trees. Fang Zhaoling depicted this subject on numerous occasions. Fang is proud of China's magnificent scenery; one of the seals on this painting reads "Our country is beautiful." She encouraged herself with another seal, which reads "Again I climb the tall peaks."
