The Taihang Mountains (Chinese: 太行山; pinyin: Tàiháng Shān) are a Chinese mountain range running down the eastern edge of the Loess Plateau in Shanxi, Henan and Hebei provinces.

The range extends over 400 kilometres (250 mi)[1] from north to south and has an average elevation of 1,500 to 2,000 metres (4,900 to 6,600 feet).

[1] The Taihang's eastern peak is Mount Cangyan in Hebei; Baishi Mountain forms its northern tip.

[2] The Red Flag Canal is located on the south edge of the Taihang Mountains.

[citation needed] Many references to this range in “Fanshen” by William Hinton, with their significance in the Chinese Socialist revolution.
