Location of Daba Mountains
  1. In the 19th century, the range was also known as the Kew-lung[ why? ] or Po-mung. [1] The latter name refers to Mount Bozhong, the source of the Han River. In Chinglish sources, the range is also sometimes referenced as "Mount Daba" or "Daba Mountain", owing to confusion arising from the general lack of plural forms in Chinese.
