culture
圣山 covers any mountain held sacred — Mount Kailash () for Buddhists/Hindus, Mount Sinai (西奈) in the Bible, the Five Sacred Mountains of Daoism (五岳), Mount Athos (圣山) in Greece. The Greek monastic peninsula Mount Athos is in fact officially called 'the Holy Mountain' in Greek (Άγιον Όρος), translated literally as 圣山.
