Is Mount Tai a national A-level scenic spot?

Mount Taishan is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction.

Mount Tai, also known as Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue and Taiyue, is one of the Five Mountains. It is located in the central part of Shandong Province, stretching between Tai'an, Jinan and Zibo, with a total area of ??2.422 Thousands of hectares. The main peak, Yuhuangding, is 1,532.7 meters above sea level. ?

Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as a paradise that "directly leads to the throne of the emperor". It became a sacred mountain worshiped by the people and a sacred mountain for emperors to offer sacrifices. There is a saying that "if Mount Tai is safe, all the world will be safe". From the beginning of Qin Shihuang to the Qing Dynasty, 13 generations of emperors successively visited Mount Tai to offer sacrifices or offer sacrifices, and 24 generations of emperors sent officials to offer sacrifices 72 times. There are more than 20 ancient building groups and more than 2,200 stone tablets and stone carvings left on the mountain.

The geological characteristics of Mount Tai

The geological structure of Mount Tai is very complex, dominated by faults, and its structural characteristics are the tilting and uplift of fault blocks. There are both structures formed in the Precambrian and structures developed in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic.

The development of Taishan’s Precambrian geological structure is mainly characterized by multi-stage folds, faults and ductile shear zones. They superimpose and transform each other, forming an extremely complex structural landscape. The study of their genetic mechanisms is one of the important contents of Precambrian geological research. In addition, the "barrel-shaped structure" developed in the Mesoproterozoic diabase porphyry, which is rare at home and abroad, has high scientific value.

From a regional tectonic perspective, the Pacific Plate is strongly subducting the Eurasian Plate in an almost east-west direction, causing the Taishan area to undergo strong tilting activities in the northeast-northeast direction of the Taiqian fault under the nearly north-south extension. The substantial uplift has caused the neotectonic movements of Mount Tai to be very widespread and intense, and they play a leading role in controlling the formation and landform pattern of Mount Tai. The gravity slip structures formed on the unconformity surface of the Lower Paleozoic and Precambrian crystalline basement around Mount Tai are also closely related to neotectonic movements.
