About traveling to Mount Tai

I just came back yesterday and my legs still hurt.

Actually, you can just take the D31. The EMU from Beijing leaves at around 11 a.m. and arrives at 2 or 3 p.m. Tai'an, go buy the tickets first! It’s rare to buy high-speed trains there (when we went there, all the high-speed trains within 5 days of sale were gone). Just look at the ones that can go back to Beijing, or the ones without seats. We bought the tickets without seats. , and it turned out that there were at least two seats per person on the bus, and there were many buses going back to Beijing.

After buying the ticket, you can go shopping in the surrounding shopping malls (if the map is sold at the exit station for less than 2 yuan, buy it). It is recommended to go to Shandong Agricultural University. The school has a good cultural heritage and the food is very good. The canteen you see when you go to the north gate and walk west at the first intersection is pretty good. Or you can eat at Tai'an snack street in the evening, prepare some water and food, and then go up the mountain. You can climb at 10 o'clock at the latest, or even earlier.

Taking a taxi to the Hongmen trailhead will cost you no more than 8 yuan (starting at 5 yuan, 1.5 yuan/km), and you can buy crutches at the foot of the mountain! ! ! This is very important! Don't buy the 2 yuan ones that are not strong and have peeling paint. Buy the ones she sells for 12 or 15 yuan, and you can bargain them down to 10 yuan or even lower. That red safety rope costs 1 yuan and 2 pieces.

After entering, walk 200 meters to the ticket office. The student ticket is 60 yuan, and the insurance is 2 yuan (optional). Then climb the mountain. On the way from Hongmen to Zhongtianmen, you can see the stone scenery on both sides. There will be two inspections of tickets and student ID cards in the middle, so the tickets should be placed in an easy-to-reach place. All the small shops on the mountain are open 24 hours a day, so don’t worry about food and water. A basic bowl of noodles is 5 yuan and water is 2 yuan.

On the road from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen, it is best to walk on the side with support, which saves energy. Be sure to bring a small cushion or clothes to sit on. The rocks on the mountain are very cold and it will be cold when you sit down to rest!

It takes about 5 hours to climb to Nantianmen. It costs 5 yuan to rent a coat on the mountain. In fact, you can just bring thicker clothes. When it comes to accommodation, you have to bargain hard. Don’t look at what many places say, the price won’t be the same when you get there! ! ! So if there are a lot of people, rent a room and bargain hard with the boss (it’s difficult to negotiate the price if you’re not a local). Basically, a room costs 200. It can accommodate 6-8 people. The rooms are all Datong bungalows or ground-floor bungalows. kind. In fact, many people were wrapped in military coats and stared for a while on the side of the road, or lying down in places where they were eating. (If you climb up at 10 o'clock, you will only sleep for 2 hours.) If you stay in a hotel, the hotel will start waking people up at 4:30. Don't listen to those who say that you can't see the sunrise by yourself, just follow them and you can. You can come out of the hotel in time at 5 o'clock. The sunrise time is now 5:55. You have 10 minutes to get to the place where you can watch the sunrise. If you see someone taking pictures and they say they can take pictures of the sunrise and pull them over, you can follow them. Or go somewhere closer to the inside.

After watching the sunrise, go to Jade Emperor Summit and the Confucius Temple, and then prepare to go down the mountain. Take a good look at the scenery you didn’t see at night on the way down, take pictures, etc. When you get to Zhongtianmen, you can choose to take a car down the mountain. , seems to be 11, very economical, because there is nothing to see from Zhongtianmen to Red Gate, the focus is on the section from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen. You can go to Dai Temple to see it, if time and physical strength permit.

When you return to Tai'an City, you can go to the Municipal Square to have a look, and then plan your itinerary based on your ticket.

P.S. Just remember to bring a thick fleece jacket, a flashlight and a hat (so that the wind in the mountains won’t blow your hair if you sweat), and a T-shirt (you will be covered in sweat after climbing the mountain, so you can Change it so you don’t have to dry it yourself)

I’ve been nagging a lot, I hope it helps!
