Mount Tai / Taishan Steps and steps
We climbed Taishan in January the temperature was cold especially at the top of the mountain. We climbed the route from the Red gate/ Hongmen gate this took us around 2:45hrs to reach the top with some small breaks along the way. Once at the top there is load of great view points and options for food. There is around 7000 steps up to the top but then we got the cable car and the bus back down.#newyearadventure #mountainview

Checked in at Mount Tai, the scenery is picturesque!
One must ascend Mount Tai at least once to experience the grandeur of 'being at the top and looking down on all the other mountains as small'.
When climbing Mount Tai, one can truly understand the feeling of 'not fearing the clouds that obscure one's view, for one is at the highest level.'
🚉Travel Tips:
Take the high-speed train to Tai'an Station, and a 20-minute taxi ride will get you to the Mount Tai scenic area.
There are several routes to climb Mount Tai, and it is recommended to enter through Tianwai Village, take a bus to Zhongtianmen, and then take a cable car from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen. Start walking from Nantianmen to the summit, the highest peak, Yuhuangding.
If you are physically fit, you can walk from the Hongmen scenic area to Nantianmen. This route is all about experiencing the joy of climbing Mount Tai on foot.
💰Average Cost:
The ticket package for Mount Tai's entrance and shuttle bus is 150 yuan per person, and the one-way cable car from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen is 100 yuan per person. The bus from Tianwai Village to Zhongtianmen is 35 yuan per person. There are discounted tickets for the elderly and children, which can be purchased at the ticket checkpoint. Military personnel are exempt from the scenic area entrance fee, but there are no discounts for the shuttle bus and cable car tickets.
✅Must Experience:
Be sure to take a photo with the 5 yuan RMB at the moment of 'Wuyue is the most respected' on the top of Mount Tai! The queue is long, so if you want to take a beautiful photo, it is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain in the morning and head straight to 'Wuyue is the most respected' for a photo, or stay overnight on the mountain and go for the photo after watching the sunrise.
Mount Tai is the foremost of the Five Great Mountains, and one must check it in at least once. If financial conditions allow, hiring a guide for an explanation will lead to a deeper understanding and knowledge of Mount Tai's history!

At dawn, the red gate shines with the sun, it seems that the ancients also liked to climb Mount Tai at night
Zhao Guolin, a Qing Dynasty poet, left a poem: 'Climbing the red gate in the early morning, the clear color brightens the morning sun. Looking down at the smoke of thousands of homes, the flat fields are all new green.'
The section from the Red Gate to the Middle Heaven Gate is located in the Zhongxi of Mount Tai, walking all the way in the valley, except for a nunnery and a few Taoist temples, there are some inscriptions by literati.
The persimmon cakes sold in Tai'an city taste good.
