Mount Livadiyskaya

Mount Livadiyskaya, also known as Mount Pidan, rises to 1,332.6 metres in the Sikhote-Alin range of Primorsky Krai, Russia, and is the most visited peak in the territory. Its slopes are strewn with large stone formations (kurums) that are popularly called megaliths, lending the mountain an air of mystery. The name Pidan is reportedly of Chinese origin meaning "Big Rocks," and local legends associate the stone structures with the Bohai empire (698-926 AD), which supposedly installed stone guardians and built a wall on the mountain. The archaeological significance of the stones remains debated, with no formal excavation confirming artificial construction.
