Ask for a self-help tour guide from Shanghai to Taishan on May 1st.

If there is a bullet train, you can go from Shanghai to Jining, take a bus to Qufu to see the Three Holes, stay in Qufu for one day, stay in Tai 'an at night, rest for one night, go up the mountain the next day, walk up, play while walking, spend the night on the mountain to watch the sunrise, or take a bus down to the hotel to rest in the afternoon, and visit Dai Temple on the third day. After that, you can take the bullet train back to Shanghai. As for souvenirs, there will be many on your way up the mountain. You can buy some distinctive and representative ones according to your preference. Snacks, Taishan has three beauties, cabbage, tofu and water. In addition, Taishan scallion cake tastes good. The food in some farmhouse restaurants around Huanshan Road in Tai 'an is good and the price is not expensive. Before leaving, put a small Taishan stone in your travel bag, which means climbing Mount Tai to keep you safe. But good stones are expensive. My hometown is Jining, and now I work in Taian. That's all I know. I hope it works for you.
