I think shang shan is correct.
I love studying Chinese. I learned that when people choose a scenic spot to climb it is called “爬山.” But “登山” might refer to a more professional usage, like the extreme sport for example.
“山顶” are the Chinese characters for “top of the mountain.” I’ve got another question from studying Chinese. I know that the word “登山” also means “mountain climbing.” What’s the difference between “登山” and “爬山”?
I’ve only studied Chinese for a couple of months. Can anyone tell me the Chinese characters for “top of the mountain?”
