This article is all you need for traveling to Mount Tai

Hiking Mount Tai to watch the sunset🌅 5h round trip climbing➕photography strategy📷 Stop climbing at night!!! It's really not cold climbing Mount Tai during the day in winter! You can save on accommodation fees at the summit without suffering! As a woman who grew up in the Qinling Mountains, I adhere to the principle and spirit of hiking up and down. I put on full makeup, ran fast, and managed to climb, take photos, and save time without missing a beat🥰 (Friends with bad knees should not imitate me) ⌚️My climbing time: Arrived at the Hongmen climbing entrance at 13:00, reached Zhongtianmen at 14:30, Nantianmen at 16:00, and Yuhuangding at 16:30 to wait for the sunset 🕙It took about 3.5h to climb up and 1.5h to climb down 🎫Tickets: Adults 115 (ID required) Students 57 (ID➕student ID or information from the student network required) Seniors over 60 free (ID required) 🧤Some personal experiences after climbing: 1. The prices in Mount Tai are really friendly, at most 1-3 yuan higher than in the city area (if it's too expensive, don't buy it), there are food and water sellers every short distance, and there is a 711 in the scenic area, and surprisingly a KFC halfway up the mountain 2. Mount Tai scenic area is now equipped with ground lights, so friends who climb at night or worry about it getting dark when descending no longer need to bring headlamps and flashlights 3. If you're afraid of getting tired, try to go light. There are shared power banks along the way in the scenic area (10💰/hour), and there is a luggage storage at the Hongmen entrance 4. The best spot to watch the sunset is at Yuhuangding 5. For clothing👟hiking shoes➕quick-dry base layer➕fleece/plus velvet hoodie➕shell jacket, I also brought a down liner, it's not cold at all climbing during the day, I only put on the hard shell jacket after passing Nantianmen, and wore the down jacket after reaching the summit 6. Other items, such as gloves, hats, and hiking poles, I suggest bringing them. The wind is very strong at the summit, and hiking poles are more useful when descending 👀Lazy person's route: If you just want to climb the mountain easily and enjoy the scenery, you can take a bus🚌➡to Zhongtianmen (one-way 35💰)➡️take the cable car from Zhongtianmen (one-way 100💰)➡️arrive at Nantianmen➡️walk to Tianjie, Yuhuangding to enjoy the view➡️then return the same way However, please note that the cable car seems to stop running at 17:30, and the bus should be around 20:30, so please arrange your time accordingly
