Self-help tour from Chongqing to Taishan?

Among the five mountains, I have been to Mount Tai and Mount Heng. According to the information on the Internet and my own feelings, traveling in Mount Tai is cheaper.

Besides Mount Tai, there are Doum Palace and Zhao Pu Temple at the foot of the mountain. There is also Dai Temple in Tai 'an City.

We stayed on the mountain for two days, 1 day, 1 day, stayed at the top of the mountain for one night, and watched the sunrise the next morning. It is recommended to visit Dai Temple, which is the place where Mount Tai is closed to meditation. It takes about 1 day like the small Forbidden City. In Taian, there are direct buses to Qufu and Jinan, which take 40 minutes from Jinan and 2 hours to Qufu. Kong Lin, Confucius House and Confucius Temple in Qufu are also worth visiting.

We went in September the year before last, and it was Monday when we went up the mountain. There are not many tourists on the mountain. According to local people, February and August are the off-season of local tourism, and the traffic on Monday will be relatively less. If you have physical strength, cable cars are not recommended. Climbing Mount Tai is a physical and psychological test. It is suggested to take bus No.3 at the railway station to Hong Men and walk all the way up the mountain. There is little chance of seeing the sunrise the next day if you stay at the top of the mountain for one night. According to the local people, it can only be seen once or twice a month.

The consumption standard of Tai 'an City at the foot of the mountain is relatively low. The two of us went for three and a half days, and with the round-trip train ticket of 240, the total consumption was less than 700 yuan.

Try to buy everything at the foot of the mountain. Things on the mountain are super expensive, especially Tianjie. You must bargain when you buy things on the mountain. This can save a lot of money.
