Mount Tai in Shandong | A mountain that is definitely worth climbing

Purchase tickets in advance on Ctrip What to wear when climbing Mount Tai? What should you bring? Short sleeves, shorts (depending on the weather, it's very hot at the foot of the mountain, according to what the geography teacher said, 'the temperature drops by 0.6°C for every 100 meters of altitude increase' it's a bit cold at the summit, you can wear long pants if needed, bring a thin jacket to wear at the summit), soft-soled shoes, ID card, sunglasses, earphones, power bank, bread x2, Yibao water x2, toilet paper, 5 yuan banknotes Get off at the train station, you can take the tourist bus route 5 to Hongmen or Tianwaicun (but the bus schedule is the same as the train's, the train is delayed by 4 hours, I arrived at Taishan Station at 10 o'clock, the next one is at 11 o'clock), or go to the bus stop across the street to take the K11 or K2 bus, I bought Tickets for 6 am-12 pm, I waited a few minutes for the bus and it didn't come, so I took a taxi to Hongmen Go straight to the visitor center, follow the signs, it took about 17 minutes to get to the ticket checkpoint (there was an announcement outside saying that after 12 o'clock they wouldn't let you check tickets, I don't know if it's true or not, I left the visitor center at 11:10, scared me to hurry to the ticket checkpoint) Take occasional photos in front, all the good scenery is in the back. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach Zhongtianmen, where you can choose whether to take the cable car or not. From Zhongtianmen up is the Eighteen Bends, quite steep, very hard to climb, I saw many people who didn't have the physical strength to climb a section of stairs, stopping halfway to rest, causing 'traffic jams'. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen, all uphill and quite strenuous. Once you reach Nantianmen, you're almost at the top. Go find various scenic spots to check in. Wandered around the mountain for an hour and a half (there were too many people taking photos at the Wuyue is the Most Revered Stone, couldn't squeeze in, so I simply went down the mountain) Return the same way, from Nantianmen down to Zhongtianmen, it took 1 hour and 20 minutes. I stored my luggage at a small shop next to the train station. The visitor center at Mount Tai and the small shops at the foot of the mountain also have storage, but I don't know the specifics. It's recommended to buy a walking stick, it's better for leveraging. The supplies on Mount Tai are similar to those at the foot of the mountain, water is 2 yuan a bottle, grilled sausages 10 yuan for 3, there are also noodles, pancakes, etc., no need to worry about food. In summary, the trip to Mount Tai was very satisfying, despite being tiring, it was worth it!
