In China there are several important mountains. From art, myth and literature we are mostly concerned with five Taoist Sacred Peaks and four Buddhist Sacred Peaks in China.
The 5 Taoist Sacred Mountains are:
1: HUASHAN (west) in Shaanxi (see pics below)
2: TAISHAN (east) in Shandong
3: HENGSHAN (south) in Hunan
4: HENGSHAN/WUTAISHAN (north) in Shanxi
5: SONGSHAN (centre) in Henan
The 4 Buddhist Sacred Mountains are:
1: JIUHUASHAN in Anhui
2: PU TUO in Zhejiang
3: EMEI in Sichuan
4: WUTAISHAN in Shanxi
Sincerely,
Jan-Erik Nilsson
