Introducing Mount Taishan, China's leading sacred mountain

Hey classmates! My name is Susannah and I am a Geography major. The location I chose to share with you all for my blog this semester is Mount Taishan. In the summer of 2007, I was lucky enough travel throughout Asia, and climb this sacred mountain. Mount Taishan has fascinating cultural, historical, as well as natural significance in China and the experience of climbing it was certainly memorable. I'm looking forward to revisiting this mountain in Shandong province and learning more about its numerous landforms as it relates to what we will learn this semester.
