南天門摩天閣 / 山東省泰山 山东省泰山 Mount Tai, Shandong Province / 中國旅遊 中国旅游 China Tourism / SML.20121011.7D.09494.PS
The 南天門 (南天门 “Southern Gate to Heavey” Nán tiānmén) is located at the end of 十八盤 (十八盘 Shíbā pán). It was formerly known as 三天門 (三天门 “Three day gate” Sān tiānmén) and 天門關 (天门关 “Gate to Heaven” tiānmén guān).
Located 1460 meters above sea level, the mountain is the most dangerous cliff between 飛龍巖 (飞龙岩 “Flying dragon bounder” Fēi lóngyán) and 翔鳳嶺 (翔凤岭 ”Ridge of phoenix in flight” Xiáng fèng lǐng). It was named so because it looks as if the gate of heaven was opened at the location.
It was built by a monk from 布山 (“Cloth mountain” Bù shān) in 元中統五年 Yuan Dynasty (1264). The gate was built as 閣樓式建築 (“loft style architecture”) with stones formed as an arch.
The imposing form was accented by dots on the red wall and the yellow-glazed roof top. The couplet at the side of the door reads: 門闢九霄仰步三天勝跡；階崇萬級俯臨千嶂奇觀 (门辟九霄仰步三天胜迹，阶崇万级俯临千嶂奇观 Mén pì jiǔxiāo yǎng bù sān tiān shèngjì, jiē chóng wàn jí fǔ lín qiān zhàng qíguān)

在山東泰安市泰山上十八盤之盡處，舊稱三天門、天門關，海拔1460米，山於此為最危聳，飛龍巖與翔鳳嶺之間的低坳處，雙峰夾峙，彷彿天門自開。元中統五年（1264年）布山道士張志純創建。門為閣樓式建築，石砌拱形門洞，額題“南天門”。紅牆點綴，黃色琉璃瓦蓋頂，氣勢雄偉。門側有楹聯曰“門闢九霄仰步三天勝跡；階崇萬級俯臨千嶂奇觀”。(1. Baidu: 山東泰山: 著名景點: 南天門 / Google Translate)
