Mount Tai in Shandong | A mountain that is definitely worth climbing
Purchase tickets in advance on Ctrip
What to wear when climbing Mount Tai? What should you bring? Short sleeves, shorts (depending on the weather, it's very hot at the foot of the mountain, according to what the geography teacher said, 'the temperature drops by 0.6°C for every 100 meters of altitude increase' it's a bit cold at the summit, you can wear long pants if needed, bring a thin jacket to wear at the summit), soft-soled shoes, ID card, sunglasses, earphones, power bank, bread x2, Yibao water x2, toilet paper, 5 yuan banknotes
Get off at the train station, you can take the tourist bus route 5 to Hongmen or Tianwaicun (but the bus schedule is the same as the train's, the train is delayed by 4 hours, I arrived at Taishan Station at 10 o'clock, the next one is at 11 o'clock), or go to the bus stop across the street to take the K11 or K2 bus, I bought
Tickets for 6 am-12 pm, I waited a few minutes for the bus and it didn't come, so I took a taxi to Hongmen
Go straight to the visitor center, follow the signs, it took about 17 minutes to get to the ticket checkpoint (there was an announcement outside saying that after 12 o'clock they wouldn't let you check tickets, I don't know if it's true or not, I left the visitor center at 11:10, scared me to hurry to the ticket checkpoint)
Take occasional photos in front, all the good scenery is in the back. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach Zhongtianmen, where you can choose whether to take the cable car or not. From Zhongtianmen up is the Eighteen Bends, quite steep, very hard to climb, I saw many people who didn't have the physical strength to climb a section of stairs, stopping halfway to rest, causing 'traffic jams'. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen, all uphill and quite strenuous.
Once you reach Nantianmen, you're almost at the top. Go find various scenic spots to check in. Wandered around the mountain for an hour and a half (there were too many people taking photos at the Wuyue is the Most Revered Stone, couldn't squeeze in, so I simply went down the mountain)
Return the same way, from Nantianmen down to Zhongtianmen, it took 1 hour and 20 minutes.
I stored my luggage at a small shop next to the train station.
The visitor center at Mount Tai and the small shops at the foot of the mountain also have storage, but I don't know the specifics. It's recommended to buy a walking stick, it's better for leveraging.
The supplies on Mount Tai are similar to those at the foot of the mountain, water is 2 yuan a bottle, grilled sausages
10 yuan for 3, there are also noodles, pancakes, etc., no need to worry about food. In summary, the trip to Mount Tai was very satisfying, despite being tiring, it was worth it!
If you want to climb the mountain, don't choose the ticket package explained by 3.5 hour. After getting off the bus at Tianwaimen, wait to climb to Nantianmen by yourself. Because the crowd does not matter whether the ropeway comes up, the interpreter has taken the crowd up by the ropeway to the Jade Emperor. But isn't Mount Tai just for climbing? Or place orders separately. Mount Tai is well managed, does not feel crowded, and will make an appointment to split the current limit
The tour guide service is very responsible and in place. The whole process patiently explained the origin and historical allusions of each attraction in detail. Ren labor and complaint are not complained. It is a very pleasant trip. It is highly recommended that the tour guide Xiao Zhang 🤗👏
The trip was pleasant. There were a lot of people during the May Day holiday. The queue was longer. The tour guide Xiao Zhang was very enthusiastic and patient. We solved a lot of problems for the first time on Mount Tai. We took a lot of detours. We always wanted to go to Mount Tai to take a look. This time it was realized!
The majestic of Mount Tai is worthy of the top of the five mountains! Because it is Qingming Festival, considering the large number of people, it is not convenient to take the family to climb the mountain. I choose to take the car and cableway to the Nantianmen, and climb the jade emperor's top! When I came down, the ropeway line was very long. I chose to walk down the mountain. It was just too many people. It took nearly 3 and a half hours to walk! I advise those who like to climb the mountain, don't come on holidays, you can't walk at all!
On April 4, special military style Beijing Haidian ➡️ Shandong Taishan, currently staying up late at Yuhuangding to resist the wind and other sunrises, the sun is too cold 🥶! There are wooden friends who have passed by together. Time can still pass quickly. ~ [Rose R] 5:52 in the morning on the 5th. The cold wind of the jade emperor roared for a night and finally ‼️ I took a beautiful sunrise 🌄. I thought there were not so many people down the mountain. I didn’t expect that everyone was from the crowd everywhere. [Crying R] [Crying R] It took three hours to get on the cable car 🚠 [covering face R] Friends who are going to come to Taishan to watch the sunrise all night, be sure to pay attention to the following points: 1️⃣: Renting a coat must pass the Nantianmen, basically 30, very few 402️⃣: Be sure to rent two pieces ‼️ one body wears one leg 3️⃣: After taking the sunrise, go down the mountain as fast as possible or go to the cable car 4️⃣: Whether you spend the night on the observation deck or the jade emperor roof, you must bring a reliable partner 5️⃣: The best viewing location of the sunrise is on the left side of the observation deck, don't squeeze it all on the table near the jade emperor roof bathroom 6️⃣: Be sure to bring gloves 🧤, Charge treasure and umbrella ⛱️, don't ask why, at night you will completely understand [crying R] If you see my sharing, you will thank me 🫣
Taishan accompanied by the history of Chinese civilization for five thousand years, the symbol of the prosperity of the country and the survival of the nation is in one, it is the spiritual home of the Chinese nation, the epitome of Oriental culture, the place where the thought of "heaven and man are united" carries a rich geographical historical and cultural connotation. The ancients regarded as a paradise "directly connected to the emperor", becoming a people worship, the emperor's sacrifice of the god mountain, there is "Taishanan, all the world is safe".
Can you put a little more tickets? Student tickets can't be bought at all, so buy adult tickets, the budget is limited, can this ticket be put a little more? Not everyone can climb to the top, and some people give up halfway. Why can't you put more tickets?
Red Gate to Yuhuangding walk for three and a half hours. Due to winter, the red door to Zhongtianmen process is not so ornamental. Basically, all the way is steps. In winter, it is recommended to take the bus to Zhongtianmen and then hike up the mountain. The second half of the steps will be very steep and the scenery from the mountain is spectacular. It is recommended to reserve at least half an hour to return from the Jade Emperor's top to the ropeway.
