The Sacred Mountains in China are divided into two groups, one associated with Taoism, and the other associated with Buddhism.
The group related with Taoism is known as the Five Great Mountains, while the group related with Buddhism is referred to as the Four Sacred Mountains.
The Buddhist Four Sacred Mountains are Wǔtái Shān, Éméi Shān, Jiǔhuá Shān and Pǔtuó Shān.
The Taoist Five Great Mountains are arranged according to the five cardinal directions of Chinese geomancy, which includes the center as a direction: East: Tài Shān, West: Huà Shān, South: (Nán) Héng Shān, North: (Běi) Héng Shān, Center: Sōng Shān.
Other mountains with spiritual and religious significance in China are the Wudang Mountains (Wǔdāng Shān) and Laoshan.
