Mount Tai is located in the middle of Shandong Province, to the east of Jin-Pu Railway. Because it is located in the east of China, it is also called Dongyue. The total area is about 426 square kilometers, and the main peak is 1524 meters above sea level. Mount Tai is also called Daishan and Daizong. Together with Hengshan, Hengshan, Huashan and Songshan, it is called the Five Mountains. Mount Tai is the head of the five mountains, so it was called "the length of the five mountains", "the only Sect of the five mountains" and "the only respect of the five mountains" in ancient times. From Sima Qian's famous saying that "people are inherently mortal, or they are heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather", to "Mount Tai doesn't bend over", and then to Du Fu's "When you get a glimpse of the top, you will know that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky." One can imagine the position of Mount Tai in the hearts of ancient people in China. Mount Tai was formed in Archaean, and after deep metamorphism, it formed the oldest stratum in China-Mount Tai Group. Mount Tai was listed as "World Cultural and Natural Heritage" by UNESCO on 1987. Mount Tai is a famous mountain in the history of China, and it was closed to Zen by the emperor. At the same time, it is also a place where Buddhism and Taoism flourish, and it is also a mountain peak worshipped by emperors in past dynasties. In addition to 56 scenic spots such as Stone Valley, Wupanchi, Shibanpan, Bi Xia Temple and Heilongtan Waterfall, there are more than 1000 cliff stone carvings. Among them, the calligraphy stone carving "Diamond Sutra" is known as "the originator of big characters and the ancestor of regular script", which is a masterpiece of calligraphy for thousands of years. To visit Mount Tai, you must climb to the top of Daiding to see the wonders: the sunrise on Mount Tai, the jade plate in the sea of clouds, the sunset glow and the golden belt of the Yellow River. The special products of Mount Tai are red scale fish, Taishan ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.
