It looks so magnificent and stirs up people's inmost feelings during the whole course. Watching the sunrise on the top of Taishan Mountain has always made tourists yearn for it as well as made so many men of literature write poems for it.

Beautiful Sunset

After the rain washes the sky, and when the evening sun is falling down from the clouds gradually, and spilling the soft after glow to the Taishan Mountain, looking up to the western sky, you can find that the scenery on the peak is colored layer by layer and that the color of the clouds is colorful under the glowing of the evening sum, which looks too mysterious to be understood.

"The crystal spring running down ten thousand ren high, the glow of the setting sun covering thousand hills." The scenery of the after glow is so beautiful and enchanting that numerous tourists are infatuated with it.

The Sea of Clouds

The mountains and hills for away are all engulfed in the clouds, only a few peaks exposing out of the clouds. When the breeze blows, the sea of the clouds waves, accompanied with all peaks emerging and disappearing alternately,

which look like the unpredictable fairy islands, and the tourists nearby seem to be flying and traveling on the clouds in the sky.

which looks like the white blanket. The glaze ice makes the ice layers form on the rock, gr4ound, roofs and trees, creating an icy world.
