The main peak,Jade Emperor peak,rising 1,545 meters above,sea level,is at the north of Tai'an city.The mountain is an early birthplace of China's ancient civilization and the area around was one of ancient China's political,econimic and cultural centers. In history,there were total 72 emperors from Xia,Shang and Zhou dynasties who built temples on it.After Qin Shihuang(246-209 B.C),numerous emperors and scholars from various historical periods went to Taishan Mountain,which accounts for the large quantity of precious cultural relics.
