Facing the [[Yellow Sea]] in the east, it is one of China's major scenic resorts and has long been known as the No. 1 Famous Mountain on the Sea. The entire scenic area covers 446 sq. km and boasts 218 places of interest.<br /> <br /> Laoshan is a famous Daoist mountain combining both mountainous and coastal scenery. It has a coastline of 87.3 km, with 13 bays and 18 islets close-by. Legend has it that some 2,500 years ago, First Emperor of the [[Qin Dynasty]] (221-206BC) came here in search of immortals. So did [[Emperor Wudi]] of the [[Han Dynasty]] (206 BC-220 AD), giving a mysterious air to Laoshan Mountain. <br /> <br /> At the peak of Daoism, there were 17 Daoist palaces and temples as well as 72 nunneries that housed nearly 1,000 Daoist priests and nuns. Now, the [[Taiqing Palace]] is the largest Daoist establishment well preserved. <br /> <br /> Apart from its unique history and scenery, Laoshan is also known for its spring water that is used to produce the famous Tsingtao beer.<br /> [[category:tourism]][[category:mountain]]</div>
