Yunbu Bridge & Five Senior Official Pine
云步桥·五大夫松
A waterfall bridge and the site where Emperor Qin Shi Huang sheltered under a pine, located between Zhongtianmen and the Eighteen Steps. It is a classic highlight of the central route.
Yunbu Bridge & Five Senior Official Pine Yunbu Bridge sits on the central climbing trail north of Zhongtianmen. Below it, the waterfall from Baizhang Cliff pours down, and when clouds drift through, it looks as though you are walking on the clouds. Not far above is the Five Senior Official Pine. Tradition says that when Emperor Qin Shi Huang climbed Mount Tai to perform the feng sacrifice, he sheltered from rain beneath this pine and bestowed on it the title "Five Senior Official." The tree that stands today is an ancient pine replanted in the Qing dynasty. Nearby are the Imperial Tent Flat and the Pine of Watching People. Both sites lie beside the main trail between Zhongtianmen and Duisong Pavilion, so you do not need a detour, and they are included in the Mount Tai ticket. You cannot see the waterfall at night, but you can stop to take photos during the day.
