Yes - here's another link which confirms that the picture is of the big rock - and it gives it a name! (Made my day!!!) - Longyan. It's the only name I know so far.

With double-O??
![]() ![]() This doesn't exist in Pīnyīn. It reflects well the pronounciation for english speaking and pronouncing people, but it's not correct. Thorsten PS: I don't speak chinese, but after the Cháng'é-3 landing, I bought a book to learn a little bit. ![]() Edit: Look here: https://translate.google.es/?hl=de#en/zh-CN/dragon |

It's very common to transliterate purely phonetically - reflecting the pronunciation is really all it has to do. I am accustomed to seeing it go in the other direction, seeing English names like Shakespeare converted into Cyrillic.
