culture
圣山 covers any mountain held sacred - Mount Kailash (冈仁波齐) for Buddhists/Hindus, Mount Sinai (西奈山) in the Bible, the Five Sacred Mountains of Daoism (五岳), Mount Athos (阿索斯圣山) 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.
