Notes on Night Tour in Mount Tai

Night tour of Mount Tai is the choice of many people, because the sunrise on Mount Tai is very worth seeing. Only by climbing Mount Tai at night can we see the beautiful sunrise more easily. The following are some precautions for visiting Mount Tai at night.

Because Ben _ silk is thin and has low blood sugar, climbing mountains is generally rejected, but as a male citizen, the desire to conquer mountains has always existed. Just when I saw my classmates asking for an appointment, I went decisively.

On the way up the mountain, I met all kinds of people, including college students like me and white-collar workers in their thirties and forties. From primary school students to the elderly, even a family with children in their arms has reached its peak. Therefore, there is absolutely no need for everyone to worry about whether they can be competent. The key is scientific method and good attitude.

Time: 20 17-6-9 night climbing

Route: Hong Men Line.

Team: four college students, classmates and friends, two men and two women (but not two pairs =, =).

Flashlight (there is no street lamp on Mount Tai, go and get it)

power bank

Five-dollar bill (don't buy water for taking pictures)

High-energy food (it is best to bring mentos for babies with hypoglycemia) (nausea after snickers)

Cash Cash Cash is not Alipay (around 200 yuan is used for ticket purchase and possible deposit).

Student id card, otherwise the half-price discount will be gone ~

Don't store a lot of consumables such as water unless you want to strengthen your exercise.

Don't bring crutches, coats and other heavy objects. However, it is strongly recommended to bring an ultra-light down jacket like Uniqlo.

If you are afraid of sweating, wrap a sweat towel around your arm.

It is recommended that adults or 19-year-olds buy Ctrip tickets to avoid wasting time in long queues. College students who reach 19 need to buy on the spot with their student ID cards, otherwise there will be no discount. General introduction

Mount Tai is about 1500m above sea level, and Tai 'an is close to 0. Generally, the conservative summit time is 7 hours, and the sunrise time is different every week. You can check it directly online, and there are general weather forecast apps. Friendly reminder: Due to geography and weather, it is very unlikely that Mount Tai will see a perfect sunrise, but even if it is covered, it will have a special taste. Don't get upset because of cloudy days. You can choose "Red Gate → (Walking) → Zhongtianmen" or enter Mount Tai.

"Tiandi Square → (30 people by car) → Zhongtianmen", at present, there are no vehicles running at night, so Hong Men pure pedestrian line is chosen. The price of Mount Tai is acceptable from beginning to end, which should be said to be very conscientious. Don't believe what the following half-way merchants say, the more expensive the better. Water 3 yuan 2- 1 bottle, crutches 2 yuan (the cheapest one) and rent coats 10 yuan. Well, you read it right. The price at the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain is the same or almost the same. There are many supply points on the way, so there is no need to stock up. As for the coat and crutches, I think I need them before I buy them. Don't be fooled by the following merchants. Most merchants now support WeChat Alipay, but if your mobile phone has no signal, you will be helpless. & lt I have to consider this myself, especially my friends from China Mobile &; Use Meizu's friends.

Climb up the hill

At ten o'clock in the evening, Didi Express will go straight to Hong Men, and it can go in one direction. There are many vendors selling flashlights and other items here. If you don't have a flashlight, buy one. You'll need it. Light-emitting bracelets and horn lights can be purchased according to the actual situation (for example, it is convenient to find someone). Here's a trick. The red and blue light of the luminous bracelet will last longer, while the brighter colors such as yellow and green will last for a long time. Don't buy crutches, you won't need them for a long distance ahead. It is recommended to keep 2 bottles of water in the bag all the time. Many middle vendors should not worry about not finding water for a long time. Since the college entrance examination has just ended at this time, it is not the peak period, and it took 10 minutes to successfully purchase tickets. I heard that some netizens waited in line for 6 hours on the 11th, and their eyes lit up after buying it. hahaha.

prologue

It is a prelude to buying tickets into the mountains and going to Zhongtianmen. This time is just at night, the altitude is relatively low, and the temperature is still very high. Sweating is necessary, and even sweat will drip down all the way until your glasses can't be opened. Hold on, don't think about how to climb after the prelude, because the later the temperature is lower, the body will feel much more comfortable. At the beginning of the prelude, there are many old popsicles. You can buy one and climb while eating. Personally feel very effective ~

Prelude zhongtianmen

Even if the prologue of Zhongtianmen is over, we will officially climb Mount Tai. The latest time to arrive at Zhongtianmen is 0:50, and we will arrive at 23:40. After a short rest, we can start. We should catch up earlier rather than later. Zhongtianmen is a relatively large venue with many merchants and varieties. Fruits and food can be purchased and supplemented appropriately, and don't wait until they are finished! In fact, I have never eaten solid food except Mantos. There is a downward step and a wc below, which is the most luxurious in the whole journey. Don't miss it when passing by ~ (warning: this wc men's area is relatively hidden and it is dark at night. Please confirm your gender with a flashlight before entering. Don't ask me how I know)

Someone rents a military coat from here. Refuse to refuse. Say the important things three times. I will tell you when to rent it. Before that, no matter how cold the business says, no matter how expensive, don't rent it (remember I reminded you that the price is the same throughout). I don't recommend crutches. In fact, we have always been useless. We can buy crutches when we feel we need them, and so can the following. We feel that we can buy crutches at any time when we need them, so we won't talk about this thing separately.

Zhongtianmen | the real beginning

→ Eighteen plates

There will be several scenic spots on the journey from Zhongtianmen to Shibapan. If you can't see clearly at night, just take a look. In fact, none of these scenic spots are interesting. Mostly inscriptions and allusions. You can see it when you want to. There's nothing to say in this paragraph. Take your time. There will be many regular replenishment breaks in the middle. The steps are narrow in some places, please be careful. If it really doesn't work, you can climb zigzag or touch the guardrail. Eating food, such as instant noodles, is not recommended in this process. You can feel the coolness here, but don't rent a coat, because you still need to climb all the time, stop to rest occasionally, and sweat most of the time, so don't find fault with your coat.

Shibapan → Nantianmen

Eighteen *** 1630 steps are very steep, and generally there will be buffer zones every 100 or so. Suggest Qi Xin to work together. If you have to rest in the non-buffer zone, it is recommended to hold the guardrail or try to lower the center of gravity. If necessary, you can help climb the mountain with your hands.

About 500 steps away from the worse gate, there will be a slightly larger flat land. Not surprisingly, many people will gather here. Mainly a vendor here will constantly remind us that it is only 30 minutes away from the top of the mountain, and it is very cold and windy. Whether you spend or not, just rest here and go up then.

Then I will also focus on this place. First of all, the stall owner didn't lie. The top of the mountain is really cold and windy, so it is more painful to go up early, so I suggest taking a rest here. Climbing here also has a certain height, overlooking the lights of the city. If you are as lucky as me and travel with a considerate, generous and healthy partner, then you can sit on the steps and rest on his shoulders. You can look up at the starry sky or overlook the city with your eyes open (whether the starry sky depends on your personality). Ah, I am so happy to say.

Hungry people can eat instant noodles here, but we didn't eat. After sitting for a while, most people will feel cold, because the wind blows out and the temperature keeps falling. This stall owner will try his best to let you rent a coat. The language is similar to "I will rent it soon", "Hey, that young man, don't rent it right away" and "The more you sweat now, the colder it will be". If you have brought your own ultra-light down jacket or other clothes, you can wear them now. If not, you will face a difficult choice:

It's really cold to sit here and rest. I'm afraid it's uncomfortable to wear nothing.

But the rest of the road is steep and difficult to climb. Wearing a coat will obviously increase the load and make it uncomfortable to continue sweating.

Warning! If you want to take the cableway down the mountain, don't rent it here, or you can't return it. I put on my down jacket tactfully. If you don't have it, my suggestion is: buy a bowl of instant noodles, so that you can get a vip rest area to take shelter from the wind and have a good rest, then don't rent it and continue serving. Of course, if you feel really cold, you can rent it. Again, it's ten dollars to rent a coat here, but it's still ten dollars at the top of the mountain.

Although the vendors keep saying that the remaining road is only 30 minutes, the steepness behind it has never been experienced. Some people may not be able to get to Zhong Zhen in 30 minutes. In addition, there is still a long way to see the sunrise when we get to the top of the mountain, so please be sure to leave at least 1.2 hours before sunrise. If you want to stagger the breakfast rush hour, please do it early.

500 steps from Nantianmen

Arrive at Nantianmen

Nantianmen (sunrise)

Congratulations, you have reached the top of the mountain. But the revolution has not yet succeeded. Those who insist on not having coats here can rent it now, or 10 yuan ~ step into Tianjie first. The catering here is still relatively cheap, and there is a store called 10 yuan/person. After sunrise, everyone will get together for breakfast. If you want to stagger, now is a good time (provided you come early enough). Then follow the crowd. There are two places here, "Jade Emperor Peak" and "Sun Peak". Don't make mistakes. The map of the scenic spot is very messy. It is recommended to use Gao De. The data is accurate, concise and clear. After a short trek, you will be close to the Sun View Peak. At this time, you can find that the rocks along the way are full of people. Please ignore them (although it's not sunrise here, the white cracks in the sky before sunrise are still pretty, after all, it's open and the place to watch the sunrise is narrow). Continue to go inside until there is no road, that is the place to watch the sunrise. The sun rises in the east, not in the north.

If you really can't find a place, you can follow the vendors who shout for help taking pictures. But it is not recommended to buy photos. As mentioned above, the sunrise on Mount Tai is not common, and their photos all have fixed ps templates, which can be synthesized directly in case of bad weather. Personally, I feel that this completely loses the meaning of travel, and it is a disrespect for nature.

Dawn before sunrise

Sunrise in a cloudy world

After sunrise

After watching the sunrise, I suggest going directly to Yuhuangding next door, where there is a stone "exclusive to five mountains", which is a five-yuan position. Even during off-peak hours, many people take pictures. Let's measure it ourselves. Then you can go down to Tianjie. You can eat what you haven't eaten, and rest and relax here for a while. Then you can consider going down the mountain.

wuyueduzun

go down the mountain

You can take the ropeway to Zhongtianmen (100/ person) or go back the same way.

For those who return by the same road, it is steep at first. It is recommended to hold under the railing, take your time, control your speed, and don't let your legs get weak. If you have acrophobia, please overcome it yourself.

It is especially recommended to go down to the beginning of the 18 th plate at one o'clock. It is recommended to walk on the left and observe the outside of the railing from time to time. Soon you will find a small ramp outside, parallel to the step road. It is recommended to take the ramp (don't walk with the elderly). Because I've been down a lot before, my legs are basically numb, and it's easy to fall if I go on like this. Walking on the ramp can change the way you exercise your legs, and secondly, you can jog all the way to speed up (if there are not many people at the peak). After running for a while, you will find that the road on the slope ahead becomes looming. At this time, there is a stone on the right that can be used as a foot pad, so climb again (be careful to use your hands and feet when climbing) and return to the stairs. (Actually, you don't have to climb back. There are some ramps, but this one is not easy to walk. )

Review the end of eighteen episodes.

When you get down to Zhongtianmen (which is also the end of the cableway downhill), you can choose to take a tourist bus down to Tiandi Square (30 people) or continue to return to Hong Men. Because there is no scenery to see behind, coupled with physical fatigue and rising temperature, we chose the tourist bus. Getting off the bus is the main road, and we are back on the earth ~ (the downhill time varies from person to person, and most people can get off before 1 1am. Because we have no rest after sunrise, we go downhill quickly, and we have already left the scenic spot after 8 o'clock).

postscript

Climbing Mount Tai at night has many advantages. You will be surprised at how you climbed such steep steps at dawn. Although it's a pity that there was no sunrise this time, I'm really glad that you came because of the beautiful halo in the morning sky and the looming mountains under your feet.

digress (from the subject)

I think you won't be disappointed after seeing the Zen ceremony in Tai 'an. In addition, there is a special party in Tai 'an. Since I have been to Wuhu, I won't go. Those who are interested can also go.

Jinjiang Inn [Taishan Street Store] is recommended for accommodation. Walk to Wanda about 1.4km, close to Taishan, Daimiao, Fangte, railway station (non-high-speed rail) and other places. The transportation is developed, and there is a direct bus to high-speed railway station.

Bus and Didi Express are recommended as the means of transportation, and taxis are said to be trapped out of the city, especially those who claim that 10 yuan is at the entrance of high-speed railway station to go directly to Mount Tai.

Finally, thank you for letting me rest all the way.

(Well, my photography skills are poor, the pixel of my mobile phone is too low, and the algorithm optimization is too poor. Actually, he is very handsome. )

And two sister papers.

This photo is so bad that I'm afraid they'll kill me if I let it out. I won't let go.
