Interestingly, what do you answer the question: where is Mount Khu Yam located? There are various versions of the answers - in China, Japan, Thailand. Most likely, the ideas are related to the sound of the phrase. "Khu Yam" - a collection of sounds that are phonetically very similar to part of the speech chain in Chinese. Let's take a closer look at this issue.
Mountains in china
If we consider the geographical map of China, we can see that there are a lot of mountains and hills in this country. They occupy about 70% of the entire country. They are located mainly in the north and west of China, have a height of 200 to 8000 or more meters. Is there Khu Yam mountain among them? Where is she located?
In total, there are about thirty mountains in China (excluding low hills). The most famous of them:
- Chomolungma (Everest) - has a height of 8848 meters. It is not only the highest mountain in China, but also the highest peak in the world.
- The sacred mountains are Hengshan (in the Hunan province), Huashan (located in the Shaanxi province, one of the most beautiful peaks of the PRC), Taishan (has a rich cultural and historical heritage), Songshan (the Shaolin Monastery is located on it), Emeishan (a very ancient mountain ), Utaishan, Putoshan and Jiuhuashan.
- Colored mountains - located in the Dancia geopark, are an amazing sight.
The question remains open: where is Mount Khu Yam?
We, of course, will answer the question. Reading such names of Chinese peaks as Sai-Kun, Yueshu, Moon Hill, you unwittingly believe that there is also the Chinese mountain Khu-Yam. Where is this hill located?
So, we will continue to study the geographical map of the country and make sure that in the PRC there are 8 mountain peaks, the names of which begin with the letter “k”:
- Kangphu Kang, 7204 meters high. It is located in the central part of the Himalayas.
- Kankar Punsum (7570 m). Only the northern part of the mountain belongs to China. This is the highest unconquered peak in the world.
- Kardzhiang (7221 m). It also belongs to the central part of the Himalayas.
- Kongur (7649 m).
- Kongurtube (7530 m).
- Kuiten-Uul (4374 m). From its top originates the Potanin Glacier, the largest in Altai. It is interesting that until 1989 this mountain was called Huyten-Uul, but for the sake of harmony the peak was renamed.
- Kula Kangri (7538 m).
- Khartapu (7213 m).
As you can see, there is no Khu Yam mountain in the list. Maybe she is not in China, but in some other country? But a detailed and detailed study of the world map proves that there are no peaks with this name.
Conclusion
What can I say if you are asked if Khu Yam is known to you? Where is this one? Feel free to answer that in the world there is no such peak. We can assume that the question is asked with a catch, given the sound of a phrase that resembles swear words.
