The Chinese word 高原 (gāoyuán) for "plateau" is composed of two characters: 高 (gāo) meaning "high" and 原 (yuán) meaning "plain" or "field". The term 高原 is used to describe a landform that is elevated above the surrounding terrain, typically with a relatively flat surface. Plateaus are often found in mountainous regions or at the convergence of tectonic plates. The word 高原 is commonly used in Chinese geography to refer to the Tibetan Plateau, which is the highest and largest plateau in the world.
