The Charming Winter in Mountain Taishan

One can visit Mountain Taishan in each of the four season.

In spring, fresh green gradually covers the mountain slop. Mountain Taishan is decorated with white apricot, red peach and golden capsules of weeping forsythia flowers which blossom prettily. In summer, verdant vegetation grows and hundred streams flow with vitality spreading everywhere from top to bottom. Autumn is the season of the richest colors on Mountain Taishan. Under the clear blue sky, and the leaves of smoke trees and star-like maples are red like fire, the leaves of ginkgo and purple linden look yellow like gold while verdant pines and cypresses do not wither. Mountain Taishan at such a moment is just like a traditional Chinese painting of thick colour.

Mountain Taishan also has special charm in winter when the temperature is lower at the top of the mountain. Whenever the cloud and mist wave to and fro from the top, the water-drops in the cloud and mist run into the cold objects and quickly freeze into ice, and forms spotlessly white glittering and translucent “fog rime”. When the fog rime appears, Mountain Taishan will be covered with silver clothing with thousands of frozen trees blossoming like white pear tress under the sunshine. The whole top of the mountain looks like a dragon palace and dwelling-caves. If drizzle comes, “rain rime” will appear. Thus the top of the mountain will change into an incomparably noble and vivid world of jade.
