The top of Mount Tai is 1,545 meters. The moment I climbed to the top, my heart became calmer.

The sign for the highest point of Mount Tai (1,545 meters above sea level) is in the temple at Jade Emperor Peak. Only when you get here can you be considered to have truly reached the summit!

I didn’t take any photos of Jade Emperor Peak, but I must have been there.

It is the highest point of Mount Tai, the Jade Emperor Temple, where there is a stele without words. The temple is not big, but the view is really first-class.

It is said to be the top of Mount Tai. However, the feeling of being on top and overlooking all the other mountains is still outweighed by the sunrise. The view is indeed good.

Although it is the highest place, it is blocked by the weather station and Gongbei Stone in front, which is not conducive to watching the sunrise. But it is good to see Bixia Temple and the sea of clouds, and the weather station is also worth seeing.

Yuhuangding is the highest peak of Mount Tai. From here you can see all the other mountains below.

The highest point. A small scenic spot in Mount Tai, with no outstanding features.

The top of Mount Tai, but unfortunately the location of the landmark is not very conspicuous

We first took a cable car, then walked on the cliff plank road for more than an hour, and finally reached the highest peak of Shenlong Ridge, Yuhuangding, with an altitude of 1,629 meters. The view from the top was breathtaking!

Yuhuangding is a good place to pray

Although my friend told me not to climb to the top of Mount Tai, how could I not go to the Jade Emperor Peak after finally climbing it? Looking down from the top of Mount Tai, the mountains are green and undulating, majestic and magnificent, and all the mountains are small! It is unforgettable! 👍

After passing Tianjie, we continued walking forward, and we reached the most concentrated area of Taishan stone carvings, which are said to be left over from the Tang Dynasty. We continued walking forward for a while, and then we reached Yuhuangding, the highest point of Taishan, where there is a small Taoist temple dedicated to the Jade Emperor.

The successful climb to the top is very beautiful. The clouds are beautiful and the scenery requires luck.

We were determined to climb to the top, Yuhuangding. It was really dark, and we groped our way forward. I thought, we had enough time, so we should go to Yuhuangding first. I want to emphasize that the wind on Yuhuangding was very strong, it seemed to be level 10. At this time, we were a little sleepy and tired, so we found a relatively sheltered place to sit down, but it was still very cold. We sat there for about 20 minutes.

Yuhuangding is 1532.7 meters above sea level. It is majestic and rises from the ground. It is known as the "No. 1 Mountain in the World". The deity enshrined here is the Jade Emperor, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, who is in charge of the three realms.

It was close to dusk when I went there, and the weather was quite cold. The scenery was OK

There is a Taoist building on the top of Yuhuangding. In the center of the building is a small stone. This is Yuhuangding. . . .

The highest point of Mount Tai has average scenery and low temperature, so you must wear more clothes when waiting for the sunrise.

Yuhuangding is the top of the main peak of Mount Tai, and the scenery is great

The highest point of Mount Tai, but there is only a very simple small temple, and a collection of various famous inscriptions. I found that the tops of the Five Sacred Mountains are quite sloppy, with few buildings, and they mainly rely on the scenery to make a living.

It is the highest peak of Mount Tai. There are not too many people there, but the view from a distance is nice.

No matter what method you use to climb Mount Tai, you will still be impressed by the majesty of Mount Tai if you can reach the Jade Emperor Peak.

The top of Mount Tai is not far from the South Gate of Heaven. It is worth climbing up! It was a bit foggy during the National Day holiday. It should be nice to watch the sunrise tomorrow.

I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains.

The highest peak of Mount Tai is 1545 meters. Climbing up is still a great sense of accomplishment.

Emperors of all dynasties built altars on the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven. The highest point of Mount Tai has now become a place for people to climb and look far into the distance, overlooking the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland. The stone tablet outside the palace gate of the Jade Emperor Peak, without a single word on it, also makes people linger and speculate.

After more than five hours of climbing, we finally arrived at Yuhuangding.

Yuhuangding is named after the Jade Emperor Temple on the top of the peak. In the center of the temple there is a top stone with a stone tablet on it, engraved with two lines of words "Top of Mount Tai" and "1545 meters".

There is also a graphic on the "Top of Mount Tai", which is the true shape of Mount Tai. It looks like a word but is not a word, and looks like a picture but is not a picture. According to literature records, it is the secret text of the gods and the talisman of the Taoist Taishang Laojun. It has the special meaning of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, eliminating disasters and increasing blessings, and warding off evil spirits. The symbol of the true shape of Mount Tai has been worshipped by emperors, Taoists and the people of all dynasties.

This symbol is very similar to the character "泰" in the Chinese character "太山", which means great luck in the "Book of Changes" and Feng Shui. "When 太山 is safe, the world is safe" and "the country is peaceful and the people are safe" are based on this meaning.

The highest point of Mount Tai is Jade Emperor Peak.

There is a temple on the top of Jade Emperor Peak - Jade Emperor Temple.

There is a stele in the Jade Emperor Temple - a stele without any words on it.

I don’t know what to say, the routine is so complicated.

The ten yuan noodles were not cooked with water and soy sauce.



It's better to bring your own food when you go out.

The highest point of Mount Tai, 1,545 meters above sea level.

Jade Emperor Peak is the highest peak of Mount Tai. There is a monument with the elevation in the Jade Emperor Temple. The surrounding scenery can be seen beautifully from the shade on the side.

You must go to the highest point of Mount Tai. On the way there is the stone carving of "Five Sacred Mountains" on the five-yuan RMB.

The top of Mount Tai is unfortunately shrouded in fog and you can’t see anything. There is a platform of huge rocks, which is still very steep.

Climbing to Jade Emperor Peak to watch the sunrise is a very good choice. The viewing location is very good. It is the highest point of Mount Tai. The scenery will be even better when the weather is warm!

Yuhuangding, the highest peak of Mount Tai, is also the final destination of the climb. Reaching Yuhuangding means victory. Overlooking all the mountains is the feeling at this moment.

I’ll tell you a secret: the best place to watch the sunrise is actually inside the Jade Emperor Temple on Jade Emperor Peak.

The highest point of Mount Tai, standing here you can overlook the beautiful scenery around the top of the mountain. If there is less fog, you can see the bottom of the mountain. If there is fog, the scenery is also good, and the sea of clouds is also beautiful

A famous scenic spot in Mount Tai, the scenery is infinitely beautiful, and the ever-changing clouds are very beautiful.

The highest point of Mount Tai, Yuhuang Peak, is adjacent to Riguan Peak.

Now it's a high mountain with an iron chain and there are so many locks hung everywhere, it's annoying.

"I will climb to the top of the mountain and see all the other mountains as small". The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist. The cold is overwhelming.

At that time, I didn’t know if I was crazy for having to climb Mount Tai at night. But fortunately, there were crowds of people climbing Mount Tai at night, so I was not that scared. There were people all the way up the mountain, as if everyone wanted to see the sunrise on Mount Tai. However, it is very difficult to catch a sunrise with a big sun on Mount Tai. There are only a few times a month. I guess the sunrise below me is the most common.

It took us about 5 hours to hike up to Jade Emperor Peak. There were not many opportunities to take photos. It can be said that you can stand on the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains.

It is the highest point of Mount Tai, with an altitude of 1,545 meters. Even if you reach Nantianmen and then go to Yuhuangding, it still takes a lot of time.

Starting from Hongmen, it took 3 and a half hours to reach the top. My calf almost cramped when I reached Tianjie.

After reaching the summit, I rested and took lots of photos the next day, even though it was very cold.

In fact, when you reach Jade Emperor Peak, you no longer care about whether the scenery is beautiful or what you can see, because you have already successfully reached the summit. It is a challenge to yourself and a victory over yourself. At this time, when you stand on the top of the mountain and look at the scenery below, and feel the cool breeze on your face, you feel that it is worth climbing the mountain for so long.

Finally reached the top, so happy, my leg is half broken

This name is really domineering, only Taishan would dare to use it.

The top of Mount Tai is a must-go. There are many people at the stone tablet on the top of the mountain. There is a supply store on Tianjie.

It took five hours to climb from Hongmen to Yuhuangding. It was really spectacular to stand on the top of Mount Tai. Looking at the clouds, what worries could there be?

The highest point of Mount Tai is the peak that everyone who climbs Mount Tai must reach. It is a bit cold on the mountain, so you need to wear a military coat in the morning.

Going up through Tianjie, the highest point is Yuhuangding. The top rock of Mount Tai is here, which means that only when you reach here can you say that you have reached the top of Mount Tai.

It is next to Guanri Peak. Although I didn't climb at night to see the sunrise, I started climbing at 10 am and saw the sunset. I didn't arrive at Yuhuangding until after 4 pm. The wind was very strong. Only when I reached the top of the mountain did I feel that all the mountains were small. I locked the safety lock for my family on the way up the mountain. I threw the key in the ravine. It was really tiring to hike up and down the mountain. My legs hurt for three days when I came back.

The commanding height of Mount Tai is a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset.

The highest peak of Mount Tai, it is really nice to see all the other mountains.

From the East Pavilion, you can see the "Rising Sun" and from the West Pavilion, you can see the "Yellow River Jade Belt". If you climb the entire route by yourself, you will have an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and pride. At the same time, it is also a good place to take pictures!

If you go to Mount Tai, you must climb it yourself to appreciate the natural beauty and experience the fun of climbing. Life is like climbing a mountain. You may reach the destination quickly by taking shortcuts, but it will be boring if you don’t experience the ups and downs.

The sunrise at Mount Tai is as beautiful as it is said to be, and the crowds are also as good as they say! The place where we stayed was called Xianju Hotel. The triple room was 360 square meters with a private bathroom and air conditioning, which was beyond our expectations. We thought it would be very expensive and the environment would not be very good!

When you arrive at Mount Tai, you must go to the Jade Emperor Peak. Here you can see the surrounding scenery and experience the feeling of looking down on all the mountains.

On March 3rd, the Jade Emperor Temple is bustling with incense and the surrounding walls are filled with various offerings.

The incense at Yuhuangding is quite popular, but I don't understand why there is a side hall dedicated to the Buddhist Guanyin.

This is the highest point of Mount Tai, with an altitude of 1,545 meters. Liangzi and I came here to carve a sign for our children.

The highest place in Mount Tai, how can you not go to Jade Emperor Peak when you come to Mount Tai?

Yuhuangding, the highest peak of Mount Tai, is 1,542 meters above sea level.

Yuhuangding is the highest point of Mount Tai. There is also a Jade Emperor Temple on top of Yuhuangding, where the Jade Emperor is enshrined. Although the temple is not very big, it is still very popular. Along the way, we saw devout people buying high incense from the foot of the mountain, which is the kind of very long and thick incense, and carrying it all the way up. There is a stone outside, which seems to be called the "Top Stone", on which the altitude of the top of Mount Tai is engraved. There is a circle of iron fences around the "Top Stone", which are full of iron locks, and I guess most of them are love locks.

The Qingdi Palace, which was rebuilt in 1997, consists of a mountain gate, a main hall, and east and west side halls. The main hall houses a white marble statue of Taihao Qingdi.
