Blood and sweat experience summarized from climbing Mount Tai with kids 5 times🔥
Parents, just copy this directly📝
✅Must-have checklist
🔹ID card❗️❗️❗️
🔹Power bank (taking photos and check-ins use a lot of power)
🔹Goggles (photo magic! Great for pictures😎)
🔹Quick-dry clothes + windbreaker (strong wind at the summit can cause colds)
🔹Hiking shoes (breathable sports shoes are best)
🔹Tissues and wet wipes (towels on the mountain are expensive and rough)
✅Thoughtful tips
✨Mask and hat are essential (to protect against wind and sand)
✨Skip Snickers (there are plenty of snack stalls on the way)
✨A hiking pole is handy (cheap and useful)
✨Flashlight is a must (safety first on night paths)
✨Five yuan cash (for checking in at the "Supreme of the Five Sacred Mountains" stone!)
✅Warm suggestions
🌡️Rent a coat for 30 yuan/person (a must if you have low stamina)
💊Yunnan plaster (a lifesaver for leg pain after descending)
🌧️Disposable raincoat (weather changes quickly)
🥤Bring just one bottle of water (2 yuan on the mountain, very reasonable)
📱Check the weather forecast! (Sunrise is easier to see after rain)
💫Start from the Red Gate at 9-10 PM
Climb slowly for 5-6 hours to catch the sunrise perfectly
Remember to keep a good attitude
Seeing the sunrise is lucky
If you don’t, come again next time❤️
