Rank order of five mountains

The ranking order of the five mountains

I have synthesized various opinions on the Internet, and there are different opinions on the ranking of the five mountains. Now the most mainstream opinion is that Mount Taishan in Dongyue ranks first, followed by Huashan in Xiyue, Hengshan in Nanyue, Songshan in Zhongyue and Hengshan in Beiyue.

1. Mount Tai in Dongyue

Mount Tai, also known as Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue and Taiyue, is known as "the head of the five mountains" and "the first mountain in the world". Located in the middle of Shandong Province, it belongs to Tai 'an City, and stretches between Tai 'an, Ji 'nan and Zibo, with a total area of 24,2 hectares. The main peak, Yuhuangding, is 1,532.7 meters above sea level.

2. Mount Huashan in Xiyue

On the day when I first boarded Mount Huashan, I deeply felt the magnificence and mystery of nature. Known as "Xiyue" in ancient times and "Taihua Mountain" in elegance, it is one of the five mountains, located in huayin city, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, 12km east of the provincial capital Xi 'an.

3. Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue

Hengshan Mountain, also known as Nanyue, Shouyue and Nanshan, is mainly located in Nanyue District, Hengshan County and the east of Hengyang County, Hengyang City, Hunan Province. I remember that because it is located on the wing of the Twilight Star in the constellation Twenty-eight Nights, it is called Hengshan because it is like a weighing instrument and can be called heaven and earth.

4. Zhongyue Songshan Mountain

Songshan Mountain, the "Zhongyue" of the five mountains, is located in Dengfeng City, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Songshan Mountain starts from the east side of Longmen in Luoyang in the west, gradually turns to the northeast and extends to the north of Xinmi. It is nearly 1 kilometers from east to west and about 2 kilometers from north to south.

5. Mount Hengshan in Beiyue

Also known as "Taiheng Mountain", it was called Xuanwu Mountain in ancient times, Lushan Mountain, Gaoshi Mountain and Xuanyue Mountain. Among them, Daomaguan, Zijingguan, Pingxingguan, Yanmenguan and Ning Wuguan Huju are dangerous, which are the key points in the throat of the Great Wall Plateau leading to Jizhong Plain.
