Mountain Laoshan
Located on the southeastern Shandong Peninsula, Mount Laoshan (Laoshan Mountain) is one of China’s most famous coastal mountains. Facing the Yellow Sea, it is widely known as the “No. 1 Famous Mountain on the Sea” for its unique combination of spectacular mountain landscapes, ocean views, Taoist culture, and natural springs.
When people mention Laoshan, many immediately think of Laoshan mineral water, which comes from the mountain’s clean underground springs. The pure water is closely connected with the mountain’s rich natural environment and has helped make Laoshan famous throughout China.
Natural Beauty of Mount Laoshan
Mount Laoshan’s highest peak, Jufeng Peak, reaches 1,133 meters above sea level. Covering an area of approximately 446 square kilometers, the mountain contains more than 200 scenic spots, including dramatic peaks, valleys, waterfalls, ancient temples, and coastal viewpoints.
Unlike many inland mountains, Laoshan offers a rare landscape where:
