Green Mountains,

range of the Appalachian Mts., extending 250 mi (402 km) from north to south and extending from S Que., Canada to Vt. Mt. Mansfield, 4,393 ft (1,339 m) high, in Vermont, is the tallest peak. The range has low, rounded peaks, fertile valleys, and streams. Timber and maple syrup are the main products of the heavily forested mountains, much of whose area is in national and state forests. The mountains also yield high-quality marble and granite, with world-famous quarries in Barre, Vt. The scenic Green Mts. are a year-round vacation area, well known for its ski resorts. The Long Trail for hikers runs 261 mi (420 km) from Massachusetts to Canada; the Appalachian Trail runs through the southern part of the Green Mts.

In modern Taipei, some of the old shanty neighbourhoods have been razed to make way for new parks, and every long view is terminated by the ring of green mountains. The New Park has now been renamed 2-28 to commemorate the thousands of victims of a massacre on 28 February 1947 when the Kuomintang governor, who took over from the Japanese at the end of the war, decided to suppress local dissent.
