The mountains have rounded tops. The closer mountains are darker and more detailed, while the distant mountains are lighter and less detailed. The sky has white clouds. Trees and bushes are on the mountains. A house with a gray roof sits on a hill to the lower center. A tree with long branches hangs over the house. Chinese characters are in the top left corner.
