“全中国最小的山”火了 Is it a rock or a mountain?

A 0.6-meter-tall rock(石头) in Shouguang, east China's Shandong Province has raised netizens' curiosity(好奇), after it was revealed that locals have considered it a mountain(山).

On Tuesday, a video of it went viral on Weibo, one of China's popular social media platforms, reported Chinanews.com.

One netizen commented: "This is a mountain? I'd like to find out the definition(定义) of a mountain."

Local people once deemed it a rock and tried but failed(失败) to remove(移动) it. So it got the name Mount Jing(静山), which means "immovable."

According to the county annals(县志) of Shouguang, the 1.24 meter-long(长), 0.7-meter-wide(宽) Mount Jing is the only mountain in this area, with a history of over 100 years.

Now the mountain has become a key protection unit(重点保护单位) in Shouguang City, and relevant(相关的) protective measures(保护措施) have been issued to protect it.

The mountain has become viral among netizens, who say that they can reach the top in just one step(一步登顶).

One photographer in Shouguang City took a group of photos of the mountain, showing it in different seasons.
