Mount Taishan
Exemplifying Chinese culture is Mount Taishan. This mountain was recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site in 1987. It is considered one of the five most sacred mountains in China.
About 3000 years ago, Mount Taishan became an important place of worship in China. In ancient times, the first thing an emperor did upon ascending the throne was to climb Mount Taishan, praying to heaven and earth or their ancestors. These special rituals and sacrifices brought much renown to the mountain.
Moreover, many poets and scholars visited the mountain for inspiration. The grand temples, numerous stone inscriptions, and tablets are evidence of these visits. Mount Taishan also played a significant role in the development of Buddhism and Taoism in China.
