About
Une montagne taoïste sacrée réputée pour ses paysages côtiers spectaculaires et ses temples anciens. Célèbre pour ses sources naturelles, ses temples à flanc de falaise et comme lieu d'origine de la source d'eau de la bière Tsingtao.
Laoshan Mountain rises on the coast of Qingdao, in Shandong Province, in the Laoshan District that bears its name. It is regarded as a sacred Taoist mountain, and visitors come as much for its temples as for its scenery, where forested slopes meet the sea.
What to expect
- Coastal scenery: The mountain's dramatic shoreline is the setting for much of its appeal, with views that change between cliff, sea and green hillside.
- Cliff-side temples: Ancient Taoist temples are built into the landscape, linking the visit to the mountain's religious heritage.
- Natural springs: The mountain is known for its springs, and it is also associated with the water source of Tsingtao beer.
Planning your visit
Laoshan suits visitors who enjoy walking, quiet sacred sites and coastal views. Because the mountain is spread across a wide area, it is worth allowing a full day to move between the temples and lookouts at an unhurried pace. The Laoshan District around it gives you the chance to combine the visit with time on Qingdao's seafront.
