Taishan Travel Guide to Avoiding Potholes

Note:

1. Before choosing to join a group, be sure to carefully check or inquire about the operating range of traffic vehicles in the Taishan Scenic Area.

2. The cost of multi-day tours is too low, so be sure to pay attention to the accommodation standards. Group tours are available in economy class, business class and listed three-star accommodation standards. Accommodation standards are different during peak tourist seasons or statutory holidays, and the price gap is large. If you are interested in a multi-day tour, be sure to carefully confirm the accommodation standards before joining the group. (Accommodation standards in Tai'an are slightly lower than those in other cities. Before checking in, try to ask the other party to provide the name of the alternative hotel to understand its true evaluation.)

3. Most hotels in Shandong do not provide disposable toiletries. The euphemistic name is low-carbon and environmentally friendly, but in fact it reduces costs. Whether you are traveling independently or joining a group, remember to bring your personal toiletries.

Please note:

4. When climbing mountains, you must wear comfortable sports shoes. When visiting, you should follow the principle of "climb without looking, watch without climbing". Some steps are slippery, please be careful.

There are many temples on the top of the mountain, please ask about the price before burning incense. Religious guests are advised to burn incense at the main temple on the top of the mountain.

6. There are more than 50 toilets on the mountain, usually about 500 meters apart. Green toilets are free, while red toilets are contracted by individuals and require a fee. The price is generally 1 yuan/person.

7. If you choose Taishan to shoot images, be sure to ask about the price to avoid being cheated (try to bring your own camera). Some scenic spots on the top of the mountain require a fee to take photos, so be sure to look carefully before taking photos.

8. Pay attention to replenishing water when mountaineering: don't be thirsty, drink water first, drink less and drink more, or bring some high-calorie foods (such as milk, chocolate, etc.) to help you regain your strength. Don’t pick wild fruits to eat, don’t drink mountain spring water.

9. If you want to buy a favorite Taishan souvenir, you can bargain a little. If you don’t want to buy it, it’s best not to ask. Try not to touch anything in the stall casually. If damaged, compensation is required.
