The Tianmu Mountains or Tianmu Shan ( 天目山 , Tiānmù shān  - "Heavenly Eye Mountain") is a mountain range in the northwest of the Chinese province of Zhejiang , west of Hangzhou .

It runs from southwest to northeast and borders the Central Anhui Plain ( Wanzhong Pingyuan ). It consists of an eastern and a western part ( Dongtianmu Shan and Xitianmu Shan ).

According to a recent study, the increasingly growing ginkgos in the western Tianmu Mountains may have been introduced there by Buddhist monks. Tree species such as the Japanese cake tree (Katsura tree), Chinese tulip tree , Yulan magnolia and Japanese sago palm fern ( Cycas revoluta ) grow here . The golden larch can also be found there.

The Tianmu Shan was added to the list of biosphere reserves by UNESCO in 1996 . Since 2008, the "Museum of the Tianmushan National Nature Reserve" has been located here as an extension of the Zhejiang Natural History Museum . The Tianmushan site ( Tianmu Shan yizhi ) of the Shang and Zhou period in Jiangyan ( 姜堰 市 ) has been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China (6-77) since 2006 .

Its attractions include the Buddhist Chanyuan Temple ( 禅 源 寺 ) from the Ming Dynasty and the Chan (Japanese Zen) temple Shizikou ( 狮子 口 ), the origin of the Linji school ( Linji zong ) - one Forerunner of the Rinzai school of Buddhism - from the time of the Mongol dynasty .

A song-time tea cup type with the Japanese name Temmoku (the Japanese word for the mountains) was exported from there to Japan for ritual tea drinking .
