Mount Tai during the Spring Festival‖Summary

There were too many people visiting Mount Tai during the Spring Festival, so it's necessary to have a good mentality, be well prepared, and go with determination to have fun! Pros: Mount Tai, as the most prestigious of the Five Great Mountains, is still beautiful in winter, with fresh air, numerous strange rocks, and the scent of the forest. Bad experiences: 1. In the evening, from Quancheng to Tai'an, we booked Hilton Hompton, but were told that the room could not be cleaned up. They could help us change to a nearby hotel. The operation took nearly an hour. The new hotel was newly renovated, the hardware was good, but the smell in the room was too strong. 2. The Mount Tai scenic area is already very standardized, but the details are really hard to describe. Because there were so many people, we couldn't check in at all the scenic spots. When we arrived at the South Heaven Gate, we found a snack street, which ruined the original taste of Mount Tai. There was a lot of garbage thrown by the crowd, and the environment was damaged (angry). There were quite a few restrooms, but the smell and environment were not like those of a major scenic area. 3. The emergency management of large crowds is not in place. Children and adults were separated, and there was ice and snow on the way down the mountain, causing pedestrians to fall. There was a lack of staff to divert the flow. Lucky things: 1. Although the hotel was not satisfactory, the service was impeccable. They had slippers for children, and the details were good. We told the front desk that we were going to climb the mountain. Although it was not mealtime, they let us have breakfast. The breakfast was very rich, and we felt warm and full. 2. We didn't play with the crowd on the top of Mount Tai. We walked from Guanlu Platform to the back mountain and reached the top of Jade Emperor. There were no crowds, and we saw many strange rocks and could appreciate them quietly. That was the most relaxed and happy part of the journey. 3. Although we wanted to avoid the crowd and enter the mountain from Taohua Valley, our family still wanted to enter from Tianwai Mountain. Without thinking too much, we took the cable car to the top of the mountain in 10 minutes, which saved time for sightseeing. 4. We parked in a different way, parking around the residents. As soon as we got off the car, we met an old man selling old climbing sticks. Three for 10 yuan, which helped a lot when we went down the mountain. 5. We walked down to the Zhongtianmen Passenger Station for more than two hours. It was too congested, we had no mood to enjoy the scenery, and people were littering. We were very discouraged... Fortunately, we persisted in walking down the mountain. When we didn't have to go down the stairs, our family's mood improved. Looking back at the South Heaven Gate, it was still very shocking. Suggestions: 1. Get up early, try to enter the mountain at 6 o'clock, especially with children. Make sure to eat warm and healthy food, so you don't have to look for a toilet all the way. If you encounter congestion, it's hard to go to the toilet... 2. It's windy on the mountain, so wear a climbing scarf, hat, and windbreaker. Shoes must be non-slip and soft-soled. 3. Bring some water and food. There's no shortage of things on the mountain, but it's really annoying to queue up when there are many people. 4. Keep to the right when going up and down the mountain. The shady places are slippery, so be careful and don't rush. 5. Women and children must bring disinfectant wipes and wet wipes, otherwise they will be at a loss when eating. 6. At noon, the snow begins to melt, and there will be mud on the ground. Some of it is ice underneath. Don't let children step on the water, they might fall. South Heaven Gate
