For those who don't know, Xiang Shan is a famous hill in Beijing, best known for red leaves in autumn.

In Taipei (Taiwan), it is the name of a mountain where most of the photos shots are taken.

It's a great small hike you should do if you visit the city. Start the hike around 4.30pm to catch the sunset. https://taiwangoldcard.com/images/taiwan-unsplash.jpeg

It is written 象山, which means elephant mountain. There are elephant statues on the hike.

The one in Beijing is 香山, Fragrant Hill. This project is the same.

Yes but the Chinese characters make it clear that it’s not a reference to Taiwan. That mountain trail in Taiwan is breathtakingly awesome though.

The confusion over Chinese names and logograms is pretty funny considering that in Chinese, western names are written with a set of phonetic logograms and losing that spelling information with latin/cyrillic characters makes it hard to tell if the name was English, Italian, German, or Russian.

Personally, it would be great if names on western websites are written with logograms in parenthesis and names on Chinese websites are written with spelled characters in parenthesis. Just another one of those weird cross-cultural areas of friction.
