The sunrise on Mount Tai is one of the most spectacular sights in Mount Tai. At dawn, visitors stand on the top of the mountain and look up to the east. The ray of morning light changes from gray to light yellow, and then from light yellow to orange. The clouds in the sky are red and purple, changing rapidly, and the colorful clouds in the sky merge with the vast sea of ??clouds on the horizon, like a huge oil painting falling from the sky. On the shining golden sea, the sun wheel lifts the cloud curtain, lifts the cloud curtain, and is covered with colorful neon clothes. Like a floating palace lantern, it slowly rises in the sky. In an instant, golden light shines all over the mountains, and the peaks are dyed. What a spectacular and magical sunrise over the sea.

The Jade Plate of the Sea of ??Clouds----The clouds and mists of Mount Tai can be said to call for wind and rain, changing endlessly: sometimes the mountain wind howls, and the clouds and mists are filled, as if falling into a chaotic world; for a while, black clouds press over the city, and there are thunders in the ground, which shakes people's souls. Visitors should not be disappointed when encountering this, because you will see the wonders of the jade plate in the sea of ??clouds: sometimes the white clouds are rolling, like waves like snow; It is also like the endless ocean, and the peaks and mountains are like fairy islands in the sea. Standing on the top of Dai, overlooking the lower bounds, you can see patches of white clouds and billowing dark clouds merging into one, forming a surging "sea", which is full of fun and exciting.

Sunset glow----When the sun sets in the west, if you walk on the top of Mount Tai, and it happens to be just after the rain, the sky is high and the air is crisp. Looking up at the west sky, you can see the remaining clouds like peaks and mountains. The golden light penetrates the clouds and mist, flowing straight into the world. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the cloud peaks are inlaid with a layer of golden bright edges, sometimes shining with the brilliance of the palace of rare treasures. The colorful clouds are ingenious and unpredictable. If the sea of ??clouds appears at this time, all the rays of light in the sky will be reflected in the "sea", and the magnificent scenery and vivid interest of nature will be even more intoxicating.

Golden Belt of the Yellow River——When the sun sets in the new sky and the sun sets, you can see from a distance that you can see the Yellow River like a golden streamer at the northwest side of Mount Tai at the end of the layers of peaks. It sparkles; or the river water reflects into the sky, causing a mirage, which is called the "Yellow River Golden Belt". It is rippling, silvery, yellow and white, like a pavement of gold and silver, stretching from southwest to northeast, stretching to the junction of heaven and earth. Yuan Mei, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, vividly and vividly described the Golden Belt of the Yellow River in "Poems on Climbing Mount Tai": "A strip of yellow water is like a belt, piercing the world and connecting to the Milky Way."

Sunrise on Mount Tai The sky is slightly dark at sunrise. Looking around, there is a still mountain-like sea of ??undulating clouds under the lonely morning stars. , under the vast darkness of night, resembles the same dark peaks in the distance. Between the two nearest peaks, a Taishan pine stands majestically, motionless among the chilly mountains. The mountain stands silently , you can't even hear the chirping of birds. At this time, Mount Tai is quiet and peaceful. The morning star in the east hangs there quietly, and the Sun View Peak in the distance is like the golden finger protruding from Mount Tai, and the beautifully shaped The Octagonal Pavilion formed an excellent composition.

The sky gradually brightened, and the curtain-like clouds that were almost at eye level were faintly framed with a beautiful golden edge. The sea of ??clouds also gradually became more layered. Standing up, you can even clearly see the clouds that are closer begin to roll and flow restlessly. A little further away, the sea of ??clouds still stood silently integrated with the mountains. Soon, this rolling and flowing affected the sea of ??clouds like those mountain peaks from near to far. They first slowly became shorter, and then slowly It slowly became undulating and no longer gentle, and finally flattened out after a period of time. At this time, the sea of ??clouds was more like a calm sea under the moonlight, but there was no roaring sound caused by the rolling waves.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the sea of ??clouds is gradually becoming whiter, forming an increasingly strong contrast with the shadows they cast. The golden edge of the curtains on the horizon is becoming more and more vivid in color, and slowly turns golden yellow. The mountains are still misty. It was blowing silently, but this time it had brought a dense mist. Black smoke passed over the top of the head, and then slowly covered the sea of ??clouds, and the morning star was dimmed. The black mist did not dissipate, and the mountains and mist even People angrily gathered more fog from all sides, covering the sun viewing point from all directions very quickly from people's heads and feet. But soon, the black fog gradually dissipated, and the sea of ??clouds and curtains came back. Slowly unfolding before our eyes. In the period before sunrise, the black mist and the sea of ??clouds were fighting each other, and people's moods sometimes became better and sometimes disappointed. When people have become familiar with this change, their mentality gradually changes. When I felt calm, the black fog finally began to fade and dissipated like light smoke. The sky slowly brightens, and where the sky and the earth meet, the spring-like bay suddenly turns into a charming bright red. The curtains are no longer bright, and the place where the water and the sky meet in the distance is bright red. The sun slowly peeks out His red face appeared, like a small orange, jumping up little by little. After about two minutes, a round, red sun jumped out, and suddenly the earth was bright red.

A summary of Taishan tourism transportation

Taishan and Tai'an urban area The mountains and cities are closely connected, and the urban area of ??Tai'an is located at the southern foot of Mount Tai. Mount Tai is located due north of Tai'an City. On a clear day, the main peak of Mount Tai, Yuhuangding, is clearly visible.

There are currently four official ticket-selling entrances to Mount Tai, namely: the entrance to Hongmen Palace, the entrance to Tianwai Village (Tiandi Square), the entrance to Taohuayu, and the entrance to Tianzhu Peak. The entrance to Hongmen Palace is Taishan East Road, and the entrance to Tianwai Village is Taishan West Road.

Among the four mountain entrances, two are at the northern edge of Tai'an city: the Hongmen mountain entrance for hiking is 2.5 kilometers northeast of the train station; the Tianwai Village entrance for hiking up the mountain is directly north of the train station. 2 kilometers; the Taohuayuan trailhead is at the west foot of Mount Tai, about 12 kilometers away from Taishan Railway Station; the entrance to Tianzhu Peak is at the east foot of Mount Tai, about 18 kilometers away from Taishan Railway Station.

It is most convenient to go to the four mountain entrances introduced above from Taishan Railway Station, and there are direct buses or tourist buses to them. Taishan Railway Station is the central hub of Taishan tourist transportation. Several bus stations in Tai'an are also around the train station. Therefore, tourists who are not familiar with the transportation in Taishan tourist area are recommended to go to the train station first after arriving in Tai'an (buses are available throughout the city) (to the train station, the ticket is 1 yuan), and then take various buses to different mountain entrances or scenic spots.

When general travel websites introduce transportation to tourist attractions, they often list the bus operation routes of the scenic spot or city on the web page. However, foreign tourists have no idea where the station names indicated on the operating route map are, and even temporarily lose their sense of direction after getting off the bus, unable to distinguish between north and south. Faced with such a bus guide, we can only do nothing. Considering that the purpose of tourists coming to Mount Tai is to visit, they generally only go to scenic spots and their stay is short. Therefore, this website only introduces the bus lines related to tourism in Taishan scenic spots, and other bus lines that are not relevant to tourists are omitted.
