Must-Visit in Tai'an|The Autumn of Dai Temple is a Chinese Romance Etched in the Bones
Only climbing Mount Tai when you come to Tai'an? Then you're really missing out!
Dai Temple, at the foot of Mount Tai, is the true hidden treasure in the city. Red walls and yellow tiles reflect the golden ginkgo leaves, sunlight filters through ancient cypress trees casting dappled shadows, every step feels like walking into an ancient painting.
You can feel the profound culture of Mount Tai without climbing the mountain, touch the characters on the thousand-year-old stone tablets, watch the flying eaves and dougong brackets amidst the incense smoke, even the wind carries the scent of history.
When tired of walking, just sit under the corridor, watch pigeons fly over the rooftops, listen to the distant bell chimes, and the pace instantly slows down. The photo opportunities are absolutely perfect—just stand casually in front of the red walls, and the atmosphere is instantly elevated, no need to find an angle.
Friends visiting Tai'an, be sure to set aside half a day for Dai Temple to experience this unique tranquility and solemnity of the ancient city~
