I am going to climb Mount Tai at night. Does Taishan Scenic Area sell tickets 24 hours a day on May Day? Can I buy tickets to the scenic spot after 10pm?

Hello, tickets are sold 24 hours a day. Going tonight? The weather is just right to go to Mount Tai now. Although there will be many people there, it should be less crowded than on May Day. It has entered the peak season, and prices on the mountain are estimated to have doubled.

I have been there three times. If you want to see the sunrise, you have to take a small public transport (30 yuan/person) from Hongmen to Zhongtianmen at one or two in the middle of the night, and then hike up the mountain. The most classic route is Pass by Shibapan, Yunbu Bridge, Longmen, Nantianmen, Tianjie, and Yuhuangding (it takes about three and a half hours to reach the top). Wearing single clothes will not make you feel cold if you are tired when climbing. You must wear more clothes when you reach the top of the mountain before dawn (the temperature is about 5 to 6 degrees Celsius).

I have only stayed once in Taishan (because I took the kids that night). The hotel is really expensive, with a standard room costing more than 500 yuan in the off-season. Prices will definitely increase during the peak season. In fact, you will know when you go there. Thousands of tourists sit and sleep on the steps at night. Therefore, it is best to get some rest in advance, arrange your time in the evening, and go to the top of the mountain to have something to eat before dawn without delaying watching the sunrise.

You should make proper preparations before climbing Mount Tai. First, carry a backpack if your body allows it. Things are very cheap at the bottom of the mountain. Buy some wet wipes, mineral water, eggs, ham, bread, instant noodles, chocolate snacks and the like. , because things get more expensive as you go up the mountain. It costs 15 yuan to buy a can of Red Bull halfway up the mountain. It costs 30 yuan when you get to Tianjie. A bag of Master Kong costs 15 yuan, and the thinnest King of Kings costs 10 yuan a piece. So it’s better to bring some lighter food with you.

Secondly, it is cold in the mountains, so it is not worth renting a coat. It's not expensive at 20 to 30 yuan, but it's not very clean. It's recommended that you bring your own set of jackets, which are lightweight and don't take up much space.

Trekking poles are a must-have. They are fine on the mountain, but you will have to use them when you have no energy and your legs are weak when going down the mountain (of course you can also take the ropeway down the mountain, but that is boring). If you go up the mountain at night, it is best to bring a smaller flashlight with a strong light to shine under your feet. There are many tourists and don't shine it into other people's eyes. Pay attention to your safety.

There is nothing else. If you want to see the sunrise, check the weather forecast in Tai'an before setting off. The sunrise and sunset times are different every day. Now the probability of the sea of ??clouds appearing is very high.

Have fun.
