White Cloud Mountain

White Cloud Mountain is a mountain located about 17 kilometers (10 miles) north of Guangzhou, China where the White Cloud Mountain minnow was discovered. It gets its name from the fact that every time the sun shines after rain a band of clouds circles the mountain. The mountain covers an area of some 28 square kilometres (10 square miles).
