The elevation of Yuhuangding, the main peak, is 1.545 meters. Magnificent, it is known as "the head of the five mountains" and "the length of the five mountains", the respect of the five mountains and the first mountain in the world. It is a world natural and cultural heritage, a world geological park, a national AAAAA tourist attraction, a national scenic spot, a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national civilized scenic spot. ?
Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as a paradise "directly to the throne" and became a sacred mountain worshipped by the people and emperors. There is a saying that "Mount Tai is safe and the world is safe". From Qin Shihuang to Qing Dynasty, 13 emperors went to Mount Tai to worship or sacrifice, and 24 emperors sent officials to sacrifice 72 times.
Mount Tai is the symbol of the Chinese nation, the epitome of oriental culture, the place where the idea of "harmony between man and nature" is entrusted, and the home of the Chinese national spirit.
Extended data:
According to landform morphology and causes, erosion landforms can be divided into the following five types:
(1) erosion structure Zhongshan: it is mainly distributed in Yuhuangding area, the main peak of Mount Tai, and the old platform, Huangshiya and Huang Yashan area, with an altitude of about 1000- 1500m. The lithology of the mountain is mainly metamorphic rocks and granite.
It is a mountainous area with the highest terrain, the largest uplift and the strongest erosion and cutting in this area. The peak here is high and the valley is deep, the terrain is steep, the maximum cutting depth is 500-800 meters, the valley slope is steep, there are many waterfalls, and the gravity collapse is obvious. Cliffs and falling rocks formed after the collapse can be seen everywhere.
(2) Low-erosion mountainous areas: distributed in the areas of Aolai Peak, Zhongtianmen and Jianfeng Mountain, with an altitude of 700- 100 m and a relative height of more than 200 m.. The lithology of the mountain is mainly metamorphic rock, granite and diorite. The cutting strength of erosion is slightly weaker than that of the main peak. But the terrain is still steep, the ravines are deep, the spires are numerous, the ridges are uneven and the peaks are steep.
(3) Low eroded mountains: mostly distributed between Jiguan Mountain and Qingshan Mountain in the northeast of the main peak, with an altitude of 500-700 meters and a relative height of more than 200 meters. This mountain is mainly composed of metamorphic rocks and Paleozoic CAMBRIAN limestone. The erosion cutting strength is medium.
The mountains are continuous. If the top is covered with thick limestone, it often forms a "square mountain" or a "table mountain" with steep walls and gentle tops, which is called "up" locally. For example, caves and "transparent mountains" are sometimes formed on the hilltops around Heshang Mountain in Zhang Xia due to the dissolution of limestone.
(4) Erosion hills: They are mostly distributed in the Cambrian limestone area on the northern margin of Mount Tai, with an altitude of 300-500m. The relative height difference is less than 200 meters. The degree of erosion and cutting is weak, the terrain is low and gentle, and the valleys are undeveloped, forming a "pig back mountain" with a gentle dome, and gullies and caves are common.
(5) Tin mine erosion hills: mainly distributed at the edge of the low mountain in the south of the mountain, along the river to Hushan and Huang Qian, with an altitude of about 200 meters. The bedrock is mostly metamorphic rock and granite, and the erosion intensity is very weak, mainly erosion and weathering, forming many hills and hills.
Mount Tai has four fixed lines:
1. Article 1: The most classic midline of Hong Men Road hiking is actually the midline Dengfeng Imperial Road.
Daimiao-Hong Men-Daiding, an ancient traditional route.
2. The second type is the highway line around the mountain by car, or you can climb the mountain on foot.
Tianwai Village (Tiandi Square)-Huanshan Road-Chikulinji-Huangxihe Reservoir-Zhongtianmen-Nantianmen-Yuhuangding
3. The third road is from the northwest mountain pass, which is the entrance of Peach Blossom Garden. It is a highway around mountains, and you can also climb mountains on foot.
Taohuayuan Entrance-Huanshan Highway-Caishixi-Red Phosphorus Fish Reserve-Taohuayuan Cableway-Nantianmen-Yuhuangding
4. The fourth direction is the northeast mountain pass, which is generally called Tianzhu Peak, that is, the back mountain.
