46 泰山
泰山位列五岳之首，地处山东省的中部，位于济南、长清、肥城、泰安之间，东西长约200公里，南北宽约50公里。其主峰为玉皇顶，位于泰安市北面，海拔1 545米。泰山雄伟壮观、峻拔突兀(precipitous)，有着许多独特的自然奇观及人文景观。登临泰山需走九曲十八盘的(zigzag and tortuous）路程，沿途可尽情饱览绚丽的风光。登上日观峰，举目远眺，无限风光，摄人心魄。泰山历来是画家和诗人的钟爱的聚集地，泰山的日出与日落更是闻名遐迩。

>> Mount Tai
Mount Tai ranks first of the five great mountains in China and is situated in central Shandong Province, spanning four cities of Jinan, Changqing, Feicheng, and Tai'an. It stretches about 200 kilometers from east to west in length and about 50 kilometers from north to south in width. North of Tai'an city stands Mount Tai's main peak, Jade Emperor Summit, rising to 1,545 meters above sea level. It has a majestic and precipitous appearance as well as a diverse range of unique natural wonders and cultural landscape. To reach Mount Tai's summit, we will follow the zigzag and tortuous path, along which we can have a good view of the beautiful scenery. When we reach the Riguan Peak and look around in the distance, we will find ourselves carried away by the endless view of scenery. Mount Tai, which has all along been the preferred gathering place for artists and poets, is still more famous for its spectacular sunrise and sunset.
