Here are a few suggestions for those who want to climb Mount Tai: Routes: The tourist routes of Mount Tai are very clear and mature, so there's no need for extensive research. ① If you're physically fit, take the Hongmen route to climb up (night climbing is not recommended as it's crowded and the experience isn't great). ② If you're less fit, take the Tianwaicun route, drive to Zhongtianmen and then climb (or take the Zhongtianmen cable car directly to Tianjie). ③ If you don't want to climb at all, take the Taohuayuan route and take the Taohuayuan cable car to Tianjie. Suggestions: ① Mount Tai is a dual heritage of culture and nature, so if you're just looking to enjoy the scenery, don't set your expectations too high to avoid disappointment. ② The sunrise attracts a huge crowd, and you might have to endure several hours of cold wind at the summit without a guaranteed view, so I highly recommend watching the sunset, which is not only beautiful but also almost devoid of people. ③ The cost of food and accommodation on the mountain is reasonable, so you can travel light and take care of everything on the mountain. Recommendation: I'll just recommend one thing, and that's the best location for watching the sunset and sunrise. ① Sunset: Zhanlutai > Tianjie Archway > Small Pavilion at the top of Nantianmen > Yuhuangding ② Sunrise: Zhanlutai > Guanrifeng > Gongbeishi = Yuhuangding

👣Youth has no price tag, Mount Tai is right under your feet🧗‍♀️, this sentence made me come directly to Mount Tai. 💪You must climb Mount Tai once to see for yourself the 'view all the small mountains at a glance from the top' that you only learned about in books📖. Mount Tai, a total walking distance🚶‍♂️ of 14.35 kilometers, with over seven thousand steps, takes an average of 4-6 hours to reach the summit. 🎫Mount Tai ticket: It is recommended to purchase directly online. 👨Adult ticket: 115💰 🧑‍🎓Student ticket half price💰 🚌Mount Tai transportation: I went with a group😎, which took us directly to the foot of the mountain👣. It is recommended that if you have the conditions, you can choose to go with a group🚌, which is more convenient. 1⃣️Private car🚗: Come with a few friends👯, navigate to the Hongmen entrance🧭 and you're good to go🉑️ 2⃣️Train🚞: Take the train to Taishan Station: take bus 3 or 11 directly from the train station to Hongmen🚏 3⃣️High-speed train🚄: Tai'an high-speed train station, there is a direct tourist bus to the mountain entrance🚌 ⚠️Mount Tai has four entrances: Hongmen, Tianwai Village, Peach Blossom Valley, and Dongyudao👀, but only two are available for night climbing. 1⃣️Tianwai Village (which can save half the distance)🛣 You can take a bus🚌 directly to Zhongtianmen (if you climb this section, it takes 2-3 hours👣, but by bus, it's only half an hour🚌) with a ticket price of 35 yuan🎫. After reaching Zhongtianmen, you're already halfway through the journey🎯, then climb to the summit (about 3 hours)🧗‍♂️. However🚨: Tianwai Village closes at 9 pm🤦, which means if you choose this route, you must arrive before nine o'clock⏰. It is recommended that if you are not physically unfit🙅, do not choose this route. 2⃣️Hongmen 👍Personally recommended⭐️, choose this entrance for night climbing. This route is also the most chosen one for night climbing❗If you choose to start from Hongmen, it is recommended to arrive at the mountain base between 10 and 11 pm👀, leave time for taking photos📷, start climbing at 11 pm🉑️, and with breaks, the slowest time to reach the summit is 5-6 hours, then you can wait for the sunrise🌅. ⚠️Regarding the question many people ask about whether to rent a coat🧥 on the mountain: 1⃣️It varies from person to person, some people are more resistant to cold and may not need it 👔, while others who are afraid of the cold might need it🧣. 2⃣️Weather factors, feel cold or not after reaching the summit🧊. I climbed twice🧗‍♀️, once last autumn and winter, it was really cold at the summit ❄, so I rented a coat🧥; this spring, it wasn't very cold at the summit 🌤, I could bear it, so I didn't rent. As for the price, it's not necessarily cheaper at the base of the mountain😅, nor necessarily more expensive at the top🤨. I think there's no need to buy from the base and carry it all the way to the summit🤔, if you really need it, just rent it directly at the summit🤗. ⚠️Finally👏: The above is all personal experience after climbing the mountain 👣, not representative of everyone😜.

Mount Tai, revered as the foremost of the Five Great Mountains since ancient times, stands majestically between heaven and earth. When I set foot on this sacred land and personally experienced its charm, endless emotions and thoughts surged in my heart. Upon first seeing Mount Tai, the undulating mountain range unfolded before me like a magnificent scroll. The huge rocks and the robust ancient trees all showcased the vicissitudes of time and the formidable power of nature. I walked along the winding mountain path, and each step felt like a dialogue with history. The ancient stone steps, bearing the footprints of countless people, have witnessed the passage of time and the comings and goings of humanity. The process of climbing Mount Tai is a test of physical strength and perseverance. The steep paths and the scorching sun made me want to give up several times. However, when I saw the persistent tourists around me and heard their encouraging words, a new strength welled up inside me. I told myself that I must reach the summit to appreciate that unique landscape. During the arduous climb, I also had more time to appreciate the beauty of Mount Tai's details. The streams in the mountains flowed gently, clear to the bottom, as if they were the beating veins of the earth; the strangely shaped rocks, some resembling lions, others like elephants, were lifelike, making one marvel at the wonders of nature. The dense forests added a touch of vitality and vigor to the entire mountain. Finally, after several hours of effort, I reached the peak of Mount Tai. At that moment, all fatigue vanished, replaced by an unparalleled excitement and pride. Standing at the summit and looking down, the mountain ranges stretched on, with clouds and mist swirling around, and the outline of the city faintly visible in the distance. This grand sight made me feel my own insignificance, and at the same time filled me with awe for nature. Mount Tai is not just a natural mountain, but also a sacred mountain with rich cultural connotations. Since ancient times, countless literati have left their famous verses here. 'I will ascend to the top and look down upon all the smaller mountains,' Du Fu's poem perfectly interprets the majestic spirit of Mount Tai and the bold feelings of climbing high and looking far. Standing on the summit, I seemed to feel the sentiments of those sages, their praise and reverence for Mount Tai transcending time and space, resonating with my soul. The religious culture of Mount Tai is also long-standing. The temples and Taoist temples are scattered across the mountain, with a strong incense burning. These religious sites are not only places where people find solace for their souls but also an important part of Chinese traditional culture. While visiting these places, I was touched by the solemn and respectful atmosphere, and I couldn't help but feel respect and contemplation for religious beliefs. My trip to Mount Tai was very rewarding. It made me understand the meaning of persistence; with firm conviction and indomitable perseverance, one can overcome difficulties!
