Detailed Description
A vast, detailed mountain range appears in muted greens, grays, and browns, with touches of blue and red. Jagged peaks rise throughout the composition, covered densely with various trees, including numerous pine trees with distinctive flat tops. Many multi-tiered buildings, resembling temples or pagodas, are nestled into the mountainsides, some with red roofs and blue details. Numerous small figures, dressed in blue, red, and white, traverse winding paths and bridges that crisscross the mountainous terrain. Several waterfalls cascade down the slopes, creating white streaks against the darker rock. In the foreground, groups of figures gather on a large bridge and along paths. As the mountains recede into the background, they become lighter and more indistinct, enveloped in a soft, pale mist, particularly on the right side. A wide, flat expanse, possibly a body of water or valley, is visible in the far distance on the left.
