mount wutai is located in the northeastern part of shanxi province. 为什么它要叫做"五台"呢?原来，it has five main peaks. 而且有趣的是，这五个主峰的山顶都很平缓，planes can land on them. 果然是五座"台"啊!

　　the five peaks are all beautiful and each has its own special feature. 东台望海峰是看日出云海的好地方。南台锦绣峰是花的海洋。it`s extremely beautiful in summer! 西台挂月峰是赏月的好地方。the moon looks just like a mirror over the peak. 清凉的月光别有一番韵味。北台叶斗峰是五台山的最高峰。it is 3,085m high.它被称作"华北屋脊"。even in summer, it might snow here. 这也是五台山又被叫做"清凉山"的原因。中台翠岩峰则是一座雄伟的山峰，有很多天造奇观，像"热融湖"啦、"冰胀丘"啦、"石海石川"、"龙翻石"、"写字崖"、"佛母洞"等等等等。

　　mount wutai is not only famous for its beautiful scenery. 它还是一座佛教名山。这里年代最久远的寺院叫做显通寺。it was built during the east han dynasty. 传说五台山是文殊菩萨的道场。there are fifty-eight temples now. there used to be more than 300 hundred temples here! 所以有人形容五台山"遍地寺庙，满山香火"。这里钟声清幽，确是让人暂时摆脱烦恼和盛夏之苦的好地方。

　　心动了吗?炎炎夏日，正好来五台山消暑避夏哦!
