The Sacred 5 of China is an illuminating exploration of the five great sacred mountains of China, penned by the renowned explorer William Edgar Geil. Drawing upon his extensive travels across the Chinese landscape, Geil provides a detailed account of the geography, folklore, and religious significance of these majestic peaks: Tai Shan, Hua Shan, Heng Shan of the North, Heng Shan of the South, and Song Shan.

Through a blend of personal observation and historical research, the work delves into the spiritual heart of China, examining how these mountains have served as central pillars of Taoist and Buddhist practice for centuries. Geil captures the intricate details of the temples, inscriptions, and ancient traditions associated with each site, offering readers a rare glimpse into the cultural heritage and landscape of the early 20th century. The Sacred 5 of China stands as a vital record of pilgrimage and exploration, blending natural history with cultural anthropology. It remains an essential read for those interested in the deep intersection of geography and spirituality in East Asia.
