A Study on Landscape Characteristics of Mount Tai in Big Data

Mount Tai, while not the tallest mountain in China, holds significant cultural prestige. A study analyzing landscape experience data from social media revealed that elements like 'Mount Tai summit', 'ascension', and 'auspicious views' dominate public perception. Post-2020, there's a notable rise in 'ascension' mentions, indicating growing demand for outdoor activities and landscape experiences. The research also found that human activity remains the most important factor across time, but recent trends show a shift towards preferring natural landscapes. Spatial analysis showed that landscape elements are concentrated around the summit, with sparse distribution near sites like Lingyan Temple and Gaolishan. This study provides theoretical support for future conservation and improvement efforts of Mount Tai's landscape.
