Taishan Mount
Tai Shan’s importance to Chinese mythology can not be overstated. Visiting the mountain is more than a mountain climbing excursion; it is a pilgrimage to China’s most sacred mountain.
Mount Taishan, with its main peak rising 1,545 meters above sea level, in central Shandong Province, has been a mountain held in high esteem by the Chinese people since ancient times. According to historical records, Mount Taishan became a sacred place haunted by emperors to offer sacrifices and meditate in the Zhou Dynasty over 1,000 years before the Christian era. A total of 72 emperors were recorded as visiting it. Men of letters also came to acquire inspiration, to compose poems, write essays, paint and take pictures. Hence, a great many cultural relics were left on the mountain.
Mount Taishan became part of the world cultural heritage list in 1987.
