Mount Taishan, also known as the Dongyue Mountain, is a world natural and cultural heritage and a world geological park with its main peak Yuhuangding at an altitude of 1545 metersThere is a saying that "Mount Taishan is safe, and the whole world is safe". From the beginning of the First Emperor of Qin to the Qing Dynasty, 13 generations of emperors led people to Mount Taishan Mountain to perform Buddhist rites, and another 24 generations of emperors sent officials 72 times. More than 20 ancient architectural complexes and over 2200 stone inscriptions have been left on the mountainMount Taishan is the symbol of the Chinese nation, the epitome of the oriental culture, the place where the thought of "harmony between man and nature" rests, and the home of the Chinese national spirit

yin-yang boundary. If you make a slight mistake crossing it, you will slip and fall off the cliff, and die in the valley, hence the name "Yin Yang Realm". The stone flat under the bridge is composed of coarse grained and linen like diorite from Aolai Mountain, which is hard in texture and has strong resistance to weathering and erosion. After long-term weathering and erosion, as well as erosion by streams, it has formed such a large and smooth stone flat. The so-called "yin-yang boundary" is actually a granite vein composed of feldspar and quartz, with a gray white surface and a width of 1-1.2 meters. It extends along the southeast 130 ° direction and is almost vertically produced in the diorite. The boundary with the surrounding rock is very clear, the occurrence is stable, the straight line is distributed, and the color tone is vivid. It is also located at the edge of the steep cliff of Dongbaizhang Cliff, and the terrain is very steep. The ancients regarded this rock vein as the boundary between the mortal world and the underworld
Taohuayu
Taohuayu is located northwest of Daiding and has a cable car that leads directly to Daiding. The rocks exposed around the cableway station are mainly granulite like diorite in the Aolai Mountains. On its east side, there is a northwest oriented Longjiaoshan fault passing through, and there are accompanying faults developed on both sides of the fault that are basically parallel to it. One of the associated faults cuts through a mountain top, forming a dense zone of joints about 5 meters wide. The joint surfaces are nearly vertical, cutting the diorite into many thin plate-like rock blocks. Under the action of gravity, the rock blocks continuously collapse along the vertical joint surfaces, finally forming a large crack several meters wide with two peaks facing each other. This is the famous Taohuayu Yixiantian. Caishixi is not only an important origin of Mount Taishan rare stones, but also a set of supracrustal rock system dominated by basic amphibolite (basic volcanic rock), which belongs to Mount Taishan rock group, according to the survey of Mount Taishan staff. The original rock consists of acidic volcanic rock and acidic volcanic tuff, forming a bimodal structure. Due to strong deformation, the basic volcanic rock has been pulled into structural patches, and its structural deformation has been cut off later, and the later veins have been cut off again. In addition, there is a phenomenon of mylonitization, and geological phenomena such as structures and strata are very rich
Aolai Peak
<63. The junction of Aolai Peak and Fanyan Cliff is the mountain pass, followed by Qingtong Stream, which is unfathomable in depth. To the north of the stream is Huping Cliff, which is a dangerous cliff with a thousand feet. Standing at the mountain pass, looking east at Fan Cliff, it looks like a half wall ruins, swaying and stunning. Looking west at Aolai Peak, it seems to be connected to the Heavenly Court. Looking north at Huping Cliff, the cliff is shrouded in clouds. The rocks exposed in the Fan Cliff and Aolei Peak areas are all granulite like diorite in the Aolei Mountains
Climatic conditions
The climate up and down Mount Taishan is characterized by vertical changes. The average temperature at the foot of the mountain in January is -3 ℃, while at the top it is -9 ℃. The average temperature at the foot of the mountain in July is 26 ℃, while at the top it is 18 ℃; The annual precipitation increases with height, with an annual precipitation of 1132 millimeters at the mountaintop and only 722.6 millimeters below. The four seasons are distinct at the foot of the mountain, and the top of the mountain is like spring for three seasons. In winter, it is like jade, with rime shining like jade, which is one of the important landscapes. There is a lot of wind and sand in spring. Mount Taishan has a long winter, with an icing period of 150 days. The lowest temperature at the top is -27.5 ° C, forming a spectacle of rime and glaze
