Definition
崇山峻岭 is a four-character idiom describing extremely high and steep mountains. It emphasizes both towering height and rugged terrain, often used to evoke a sense of grandeur and natural majesty. Unlike a simple literal translation "precipitous mountains", it functions as a fixed expression that paints a vivid picture of a majestic mountain landscape.
f.e.
towering mountains and steep ridgesmajestic and rugged mountain scenery
