How it's used
This term is primarily used in literary or descriptive contexts rather than casual daily conversation. It carries a poetic or aesthetic tone often found in landscape descriptions or artistic appreciation. While technically accurate, you would rarely use it to describe a specific geographical location in a practical sense, preferring terms like 山頭 or 山脈 instead.
Examples
The distant mountains are beautiful, looking at them makes me feel better.
