Tai'an
China
Mount Tai, revered as the greatest of China's Five Sacred Mountains and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises within the boundaries of this large Shandong city, whose urban centre spreads across the mountain's southern foothills. The city's name carries the meaning "when Mount Tai is stable, all is well," reflecting how completely the mountain defines local identity. The Yellow River marks the city's western edge, and Dongping Lake lies within its territory.
