    Dear Lihan Wei,

    Glad you're interested in our tour to Mt. Taishan and Confucius place. Mt. Taishan ranks No.1 among the five most important mountains in China. Historically important in the cult of official state rituals, Mount Tai was the site of two of the most spectacular of all the ceremonies of the traditional Chinese empire. One is called "feng", which was held on top of Mount Tai and consisted of offerings to heaven; the other is called chan, which was held on a lower hill and made offerings to earth. These ceremonies are often called fengchan (worship of heaven and earth) and were believed to ensure a dynasty's fortunes.  In 1987, Mount Tai was listed as Cultural and Natural World Heritage site and honored “World Geopark” in 2006.
