They are the place where the feudal emperors worshipped and worshipped for their majestic achievements in heaven. They are also the symbol of the feudal emperors being ordered by heaven to dominate the Central Plains.

Zhuge Changqing: Mount Hengshan is the north mountain. When Emperor Shun patrolled the north, he looked at the towering peaks of Mount Hengshan from a distance and was named the north mountain.

In terms of landscape, the five mountains have their own characteristics: Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Mount Hua, Mount Heng and Mount Song.

Mount Hengshan, also known as Xuanyue, integrates the characteristics of "majesty, wonder, seclusion and mystery", and is known as "wonder",

Mount Hengshan is located in Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province. The total area of Hengshan Scenic Spot is 147.51 square kilometers, and it has 15 tourist districts with different functions and diverse scenery, stretching 500 kilometers from the northeast to the southwest. It has a hundred beautiful single peaks and eight peaks. The main peak, Tianfeng Ridge, is at an altitude of 2017 meters. It is the leader of Wanshan Mountain in the North.

Mount Hengshan, also known as Xuanyue, integrates the characteristics of "majesty, wonder, seclusion and mystery" and is known for its "wonder". Among the five mountains, there are "Mount Tai is like sitting, Mount Hua is like standing, Mount Hengshan is like flying, and Mount Song is like lying", while "Mount Hengshan is like walking". With a long history, splendid culture, cool climate, unique folk customs, and natural and cultural landscapes, Hengshan Mountain is known as the "north pillar of the human sky", "famous mountain in the Great Wall", and "the fifth cave of Taoism".

Hengshan was once known as Changshan, Hengzong, Yuanyue and Ziyue.

According to historical records, as early as 4000 years ago, when Emperor Shun was patrolling the north, he looked at the towering peaks of Mount Hengshan from a distance, and the mountains were lofty, so he was crowned as the North Mountain and the leader of all the mountains in the North.

After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first granted Mount Hengshan as a god, while Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty granted King Huo of the Beiyue, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and respected the Beiyue as a god. The Hengshan Mountains, which originated from the Yinshan Mountains, span the Great Wall, the Taihang Mountains in the east, the Yanmen Mountains in the west, the Sanjin Mountains in the south, and the Yundai Mountains in the north, stretching 500 miles from the east to the west, are known as 108 peaks. Daoma Pass, Zijing Pass, Pingxing Pass, Yanmen Pass, and Ningwu Pass are dangerous. They are the throats of the Great Wall Plateau to the central Hebei Plain, and have been the battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The main peak, Tianfeng Ridge, is located in the south of Hunyuan County, with an altitude of 2016.8 meters. It is known as "the north pillar of the human sky", "the famous mountain in the fortress", and "the second mountain in the world".

Many emperors and famous generals have fought here, which is the most proud of the five mountains of Mount Hengshan.

As Hengshan stretches for 500 miles and is magnificent, it has been said in ancient times that "Hengshan is like walking", "Mount Tai is like sitting", "Mount Hua is like standing", "Mount Song is like lying", and "Mount Hengshan is like flying". When climbing Mount Hengshan, the famous 18 scenic spots of Mount Hengshan are composed of green pines, temples, pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and grotesque caves.

   中国五岳名山之四，北岳恒山，舜帝北巡时，遥望恒山奇峰耸立，封为北岳。

                   ------ 诸葛长青  

   中国五岳分别为：东岳泰山、西岳华山、南岳衡山、北岳恒山和中岳嵩山。

   五岳之首东岳泰山，主峰玉皇顶；险峭之冠西岳华山，主峰太华山；
   群峰之巅北岳恒山，主峰玄武峰；中原名山中岳嵩山，主峰玉寨山；
   五岳独秀南岳衡山，主峰祝融峰。

   “五岳”是我国五大名山的总称。即东岳泰山、西岳华山、北岳恒山、中岳嵩山、南岳衡山。他们是封建帝王仰天功之巍巍而封禅祭祀的地方，更是封建帝王受命于天，定鼎中原的象征。

   诸葛长青：北岳恒山，舜帝北巡时，遥望恒山奇峰耸立，封为北岳。

　　论景观，五岳又各具特色：泰山雄、衡山秀、华山险，恒山奇，嵩山奥。

   恒山又名玄岳，集“雄、奇、幽、奥”特色为一体，素以“奇”而著称，

　　北岳恒山位于山西省大同市浑源县境内。恒山风景名胜区总面积147.51平方公里，所辖功能各异、景色纷呈的旅游小区十五个，由东北向西南绵延五百里，锦绣一百单八峰，主峰天峰岭海拔2017米，为北国万山宗主。

　　恒山又名玄岳，集“雄、奇、幽、奥”特色为一体，素以“奇”而著称，在五岳中有“泰山如坐、华山如立、衡山如飞、嵩山如卧”之说，而“恒山如行”。中华五千年的文明追溯，恒山历史悠久，文化灿烂，气候凉爽，民俗独特，自然和人文景观兼胜，素有“人天北柱”、“绝塞名山”、“道教第五洞天”之美誉。

　　恒山曾名常山、恒宗、元岳、紫岳。

   据史书记载，早在四千多年前，舜帝北巡时，遥望恒山奇峰耸立，山势巍峨，遂叩封为北岳，为北国万山之宗主。

   之后汉武帝首封恒山为神，唐玄宗、宋真宗封北岳火王、为帝明太祖又尊北岳为神。恒山山脉祖于阴山，横跨塞外，东连太行，西跨雁门，南障三晋，北瞰云代，东西绵延五百里，号称108峰。倒马关、紫荆关、平型关、雁门关、宁武关虎踞为险，是塞外高原通向冀中平原之咽喉要冲，自古是兵家必争之地。主峰天峰岭在浑源县城南，海拔2016.8米，被称为“人天北柱”，“绝塞名山”，“天下第二山”。

　　在春秋时，代国靠恒山而存天下；战国时，燕、赵凭恒山而立天下；两汉时，匈奴利用恒山争天下；东晋时，慕容氏踞恒山威天下；北魏时，拓跋氏依恒山而分天下；宋仗恒山守天下；金恃恒山而鞭天下；元灭天下，清统天下，也凭借的是以恒山为主体的长城沿线天险。许多帝王、名将都在此打过仗，这是恒山的五岳中最可引以为自豪的。 

    恒山由于绵延五百里，气势壮观，因此古有：“恒山如行”、“泰山如坐”、“华山如立”、“嵩山如卧”、“衡山如飞”之说。登上恒山，苍松翠怕、庙观楼阁、奇花异草、怪石幽洞构成了著名的恒山十八景。十八胜景，各有千秋，犹如十八幅美丽画卷，展现在游客面前磁峡烟雨雨、云阁虹桥、云路春晓、虎口悬松、果老仙迹、断崖啼鸟、夕阳晚照、龙泉甘苦、幽室飞窟、石洞流云、茅窟烟火、金鸡报晓、玉羊游云，紫峪云花、脂图文锦、仙府醉月、弈台弄琴、岳顶松风。再加上世界一绝的天下奇观悬空寺，整个恒山景如诗如画，令游客如身于世外桃源，流连驻足。

祝福天下有缘者有求必应、天官赐福、事业腾飞、财源广进！
