Definition
山坡 (shānpō) is a noun meaning 'hillside' — the sloping side of a hill or mountain. It differs from 坡 (pō), which is a general 'slope' (any slanted surface, not necessarily a hill), and from 山顶 (shāndǐng), which is the 'hilltop' or summit. 丘陵 (qiūlíng) refers to a hilly area or terrain, not a single slope.
