Can I go to Mount Tai now? What are the procedures?

Yes, you can. You don't have to go through the formalities. Just bring your ID card.

The scenery of Mount Tai is different all year round, and winter has its own characteristics. It is easy to snow on the mountain, and you can see the rime when you catch it, but it is cold and it is not recommended to spend the night on the mountain. You can climb the mountain early, start at four o'clock, climb slowly, and it will light up little by little. If it is sunny, it is easier to see the sunrise than the top of the mountain. Go up the mountain after nine o'clock, stop for two hours, and then suggest taking the cableway down. Young and athletic people can go down twice. Wear hiking shoes and light warm clothes. Besides, it is convenient to take them off. You can take a flashlight to light the road when it is dark. Of course, we must travel together in twos and threes. "Mount Tai" is a pun, which refers to both meditation and father-in-law. Because China has always called his father-in-law "Mount Tai", which means longevity, he must go to Mount Tai, otherwise it means disrespect.

Mount Tai, also known as Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue and Taiyue, is located in the middle of Shandong Province, which belongs to Tai 'an City and spans Tai 'an, Jinan and Zibo, with a total area of 24,200 hectares. Yuhuangding, the main peak, is 1.545 meters above sea level, which is magnificent and has the title of "the head of the five mountains", "the length of the five mountains" and "the first mountain in the world".

Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as a paradise "directly to the throne" and became a sacred mountain worshipped by the people and emperors. There is a saying that "Mount Tai is safe and the world is safe". From Qin Shihuang to Qing Dynasty, 13 emperors went to Mount Tai to worship or sacrifice, and 24 emperors sent officials to sacrifice 72 times.

There are more than 20 ancient buildings and more than 2,200 stone tablets on the majestic Mount Tai. Both Taoism and Buddhism regard Mount Tai as a "fairy mountain Buddha country", deify Mount Tai and build a large number of temples on Mount Tai.

Mount Tai is the symbol of the Chinese nation, the epitome of oriental culture, the place where the idea of "harmony between man and nature" is entrusted, and the home of the Chinese national spirit.
