Just a quick email to thank all at Tour Beijing for a brilliant 3 days tour from Beijing to Jinan, Qufu and Mt.taishan. All the guides spoke English really well and each had an amazing knowledge of the local area and history. The hotels were fantastic. I will be recommending Tour Beijing to anyone visiting China for the tremendous support I received both in person and over the phone. Please pass on my thanks to all of the local guides and keep up the good work.
Yours truly, Helen Brewis

Located to the north of Bi Xia Temple, the peak attained its name as after the Jade Emperor temple on the mountain top. The Jade Emperor Peak is the highest point on Mt. Tai, Shandong. A large rock, inscribed with the Chinese for “supreme summit” marks the end of the trek here. There are magnificent views of the sun-rise from this spot, and hundreds of visitors and pilgrims gather at dawn to watch the occasion.
The main buildings of temple contain the Jade Emperor Hall, Sunrise Pavilion, Riverview Pavilion, side charmbers in the east and west, etc. The statue of the Jade Emperor was sacrificed in the hall and the stele on the shrine was inscribed “Chai Wang Yi Feng” (meaning “offering some firewood and praying to gods for protection of the country”), indicating that ancient emperors once conducted sacrificial rituals here by burning firewood as they prayed to gods of the Mt.Tai. In front of the hall, there is the Top Rock, marking the highest point of Mt.Tai. In the northwest of the rock stands the stone inscription of “ancient ascending terrace”, implying that it used to be the place for ancient emperor to set altars for heaven worshiping. The East Pavilion is an ideal place to watch sunrise, while the West Pavilion is a vantage point to view “the Jade Belt of the Yellow River”.
