China is full of wonderful mountains. Each year, visitors from around the world come to see them. These amazing sights not only show people China is beautiful but also tell people about China's rich history and culture. Here are three famous mountains.
Mount Wudang
This mountain is in Hubei, the central area of China. This mountain is a place famous for its Taoism(道教) culture. It's also the birthplace(发源地) of Tai Chi. Because it's not too hot in summer, many visitors go there to spend their summer holiday.
Mount Taishan
Sitting in Shandong, east of China, this mountain is famous as "the First of the Five Great Mountains". One reason is that the mountain sits in the east, welcoming the first sunlight in the morning. This is a symbol of life and the start of everything. Another reason is that many emperors loved the place a lot and had important activities there. It was to thank the gods(神) for bringing luck and a good life to people in the country. So Mount Taishan slowly became the "first" though it was not so high as the other four mountains.
Mount Emei
This famous mountain is in Sichuan. It's famous for the buildings full of Buddhism(佛教) culture. Huazang Temple is a must-see for visitors. When the sun rises and shines on the Buddha statue(雕像) outside the temple, it's like another magical world. And the place is also home to many special plants and animals. Interestingly, these years, the playful monkeys on the mountain are catching more visitors' eyes.
