Travel photography

I consulted the Raiders for a long time before going, and combined with what I saw and felt during the visit, I compiled a Raiders Guide to provide reference for friends who want to visit Mount Tai.

line

Mount Tai is located in Taian City, Shandong Province. Yes, Mount Tai is really not in Jinan. Tai 'an is a small city in central Shandong, with a railway station called taishan station and a high-speed railway station called Tai 'an Station. Please note the difference between the two names! If you are a friend along the Beijing-Shanghai line, it is recommended to take the high-speed train directly to Tai 'an Station. It takes about three and a half hours from Shanghai to Tai 'an by high-speed train, and about two hours from Beijing to Tai 'an. You can also take the local train to taishan station.

So the point is, if you don't want to be cheated by a black car or taxi driver, please take notes: Mount Tai is located in Tai 'an. Taishan station is about 20 minutes' walk from the entrance of Mount Tai. Is the taxi starting price in 6 yuan or 7 yuan? High-speed railway station is a bit far, but it won't cost more than 20 yuan to get to the gate of Mount Tai by taxi. Some netizens said that it cost more than 200 yuan to travel to Tai 'an and get off the train and take a taxi to Mount Tai. Believe me, the driver must have drawn a circle when he dragged him to the Yellow Sea in China.

Besides, there is no airport in Tai 'an. Friends who want to fly can go to Jinan Yao Qiang Airport. Then take the airport bus or high-speed train to Taian.

Usually, the standard room of Home Inn and Jiayi Express Hotel is 60-80/ night. There will be a sharp increase in prices on holidays. If you want to travel during the holiday, you must book a hotel in advance. Otherwise, it will be really difficult to find a house.

Mountaineering preparation

Mountaineering equipment: bamboo sticks (one in 2 yuan, sold everywhere), flashlights (simple flashlights sold in Yamashita Store will do).

Food and water: don't bring too much water, it's all a load! Sell water along the way, as long as you have money. Bring some chocolate, snickers and so on. Pancake stalls can be seen everywhere on the mountain. The Shandong pancakes here are completely different from those we usually eat in other places. They are wrapped in green onions and served with local Toona sinensis sauce, which is very distinctive. Interested students can try it.

Mountaineering clothes: Because the temperature will drop at high altitude, you should take good measures to keep warm. Take a thin coat in summer and rent a military coat in other seasons. Of course, the effect is this.

Mountaineering route

Four routes to Mount Tai: There are no taxi prices and bus routes because there are four routes to Mount Tai.

① Red Gate Route: This is the most commonly chosen route. Suitable for people who like climbing mountains, there are many scenic spots along the way. Of course, the way to visit is on foot. According to different people's physique, it usually takes 3 to 5 hours to reach the top of the mountain. From here, tickets 125 yuan, Zhongtianmen and Nantianmen cableways go one way to 80 yuan, 140 yuan. The main famous scenic spots in this route are Guandi Temple, Yuan Jun Temple, Huimaling, Zhongtianmen, Wudaosong, Xi hope people loose, Shibapan and Nantianmen.

② Tianwai Village Route: the simplest time-saving and labor-saving route. If you feel too tired to climb the mountain, or if you are old, children followers can choose this road. Tianwai Village sounds like a village, but it is actually a scenic spot. However, this route of Tianwai Village must take a special tour bus up the mountain. One-way tour bus takes one person to 30 yuan and one person to 60 yuan. Tickets are still 125 yuan per person. Compared with the Red Gate route, Tianwai Village is a little more expensive, but it takes a lot less roads. The famous scenic spots that can be seen mainly include: Heilongtan Reservoir, Bailongtan, Aolaifeng, TongTianqiao and Zhongtianmen.

③ Taohuayu route: the most beautiful route. Every April, peach blossoms fill the valley, pink everywhere, and the sunshine is warm, which is most suitable for healing the soul. It is best to choose the peach blossom rain route from the end of March to the end of April every year, because peach blossoms are in full bloom during this time. The fare is still 125 yuan per person, and there is a shuttle bus to choose from, with one person in 30 yuan. If you don't choose the shuttle bus, it will take about 3 hours to walk to the top of Taohuayu, and you won't have the strength to continue climbing. Taohuayu to Daiding cableway, 80 one way, 140 one way.

4 Tianzhu Shengjing Line: the quietest route. From Tianzhu Shengjing Square to Yuhuangding, the route is winding and haunted all day. Especially suitable for photographers to take pictures. Tickets 125 yuan, the only ropeway with the back fifteen in 20 yuan. You can really have a panoramic view by cableway. There are not many famous scenic spots on this route, but the environment is really incomparable with the first three.

Sunrise or viewing

Many people are trying to climb Mount Tai to watch the sunrise. In my opinion, of course! The sunrise on Mount Tai is very famous. Xu Zhimo also wrote the article "Sunrise on Mount Tai", so you must watch the sunrise when you get to Mount Tai. Just climb up from the Red Gate at about seven o'clock in the evening, and sit on the top of the mountain for a drink and chat at night. How pleasant it is. Remember to rent a military coat. Oh, one in 30 yuan. It is very warm. If you don't like to spend the night at the top of the mountain, you can choose to stay at the top of the mountain hotel, which is generally more expensive. In my words, I didn't choose to stay in a hotel, but played a half-night card with my friends at the top of the mountain, haha.

Besides Mount Tai, what else?

It only takes three or four hours to climb Mount Tai, so how do you spend the rest of the time? You can visit the following places selectively: Dai Temple, Temple, Pool, Sun Tribe, Fangte, Liu Laogen Grand Stage, Taishan Zen Ceremony, etc.

1. Daimiao: 15 yuan ticket. Dai Temple, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Three Holes in Qufu, Shandong, and chengde mountain resort Waiba Temple are also called the four ancient buildings in China. The main attractions of Daimiao are Yaocan Pavilion, Daimiao Square, Zhengyangmen and Tang Huaiyuan. Dai Temple is the holy land of the mainstream Quanzhen religion of Taoism, and also the place where ancient Han people sacrificed their ancestors. When you come to Taian, you must visit Dai Temple. After all, besides Mount Tai, Daimiao is the most representative in Tai 'an.

2. Zhao Pu Temple: Zhao Pu Temple is the most famous temple in Tai 'an. Mr. Feng Yuxiang once wrote "Eight Autumn Poems" on the theme of Taishan customs and people's livelihood, and later carved it on a stone and placed it in this temple. There is also the Great Hall of Zhao Pu Temple, with the famous Song of the Six Dynasties in the backyard, covering an area of 6 150 square meters. Visitors who are interested in religion can visit.

3. Wang Mu Pond: The Queen Mother is the founder of Quanzhen religion and the goddess who protects marriage and children. Envelope Taoist people will have to come and see the Wang Mu pond. According to the Records of Mount Tai, Wang Muchi was originally named Yaochi, which was used for offering sacrifices to the Queen Mother, so it was later called Wang Muchi.

4. Sun Tribe, Fant, Underground Rift Valley: There are many projects in Taian Amusement Park, such as roller coasters, pirate ships, big pendulums and so on. Suitable for young people or families to play.

5. Taishan meditation ceremony, Taishan ancient love: One day in Taishan, it usually starts at 7 pm. There will be many performances to show the evolution of the human world. This is free to watch. Take eternal love as an example. I have seen eternal love in Lijiang before, and I think it is really worth it. Although I haven't seen "Ancient Love on Mount Tai", I don't think it's bad.

Also, eat.

To tell you the truth, I looked up the strategy for a long time before I came. I recommended Taishan Tofu and Taishan Fire on the Internet, but after I tasted it myself, it shows that it really lives up to its reputation. On the contrary, I was deeply impressed by the pancakes sold at the stalls along the mountain. I just made a pancake with a onion, so I suggest adding some Toona sinensis sauce (this is the first time I have eaten this kind of food in Taishan, and I don't know if it is a local specialty, so I really feel like a big man in Shandong).
