Mount Tai is located in western Shandong, just north of the city of Tai'an and to the south of the provincial capital Jinan.Mount Tai is one of the "Five Great Mountains". It is associated with sunrise, birth, and renewal, and is often regarded the foremost of the five.

It is not easy to watch the sunrise on Mount Tai. If you are lucky enough you might get to see it. I started at 12:00 am midnight. At the beginning, it was very scary when you walk in the dark alone as you are ascending up the mountain. However, you will see more people as you go up. We all have one purpose--the sunrise.
