Climbing Mount Tai in one day

Climbing Mount Tai in one day is really beautiful, but the process is quite a test of leg strength! I started from Red Gate and hiked for 4 or 5 hours to reach the top. I thought of giving up several times in the middle 🤣. Finally rushed to Nantianmen, immediately bought a cup of milk tea (Shanghai Auntie! Taishan also has a branch 🧋), drinking instantly revived ~ ~

Stay at the hotel for a while, then go out to feel the sunset on Mount Tai, full of fairy spirit, 100 points of photo-taking experience🌄. The next morning, I rushed to Jade Emperor Peak again. I thought I would see a fantastic sunrise. Unfortunately, the weather was known to be cloudy and drizzly. As it was, God wished me. However, many early risers still insist on waiting for sunrise, admire! Night climber is really another level👀.

👔 Dressing/equipment tips
- Day climbing: long sleeves + rush jacket outer shell, comfortable casual pants
- Night/morning: long sleeves + rusher jacket + fleece outer shell, wide pants + leggings
- Must bring: hiking poles, raincoat. The weather at the summit can change at any time. It can mutate into rain even if there is no rain in the forecast!

🍚 Supply information
There are enough supply points, don't worry too much ~ water and food prices are more expensive (10 dollars 4 bottles of water VS. 5, 6 dollars big rest points), you can walk a little farther and buy. The mainstream is grilled sausage and bubble noodles ~ Sky Street snacks are still ok, Sky Street restaurants are more expensive.

🧘 Finished climbing stretching technique
Remember to stretch after climbing! Bed stretching followed by search did 29 minutes, hot compresses on legs and legs before bed, woke up the next day without pain at all ~ sooo good!

🚡 The next morning, take the cable car down the mountain and visit the Dai Temple (Address: Dongyue Avenue, Tai'an City). It is recommended to have a tour guide, without will miss many historical stories.

[Taishan Accommodation Recommendation]
Shenqi Guesthouse (Taishan Hilltop Hotel):
- Extremely recommended queen view room, out is the fairy mountain cloud sea view; super close to Yuhuang Peak, a few minutes to reach. The hotel has its own sunset photo spot, so it's super convenient to take photos! Breakfast is qualified, compared to the price of meals at the peak of the mountain is cheap.
- The only drawback: the hygiene situation is not proportional to the house price, some bathroom underwater smell, open the window ok, close the window has a slight smell 😅.

📍Shenqi Guesthouse Address: Daiding District, Tai'an City (near the main peak of Mount Tai)

[Tai'an Specialty Food]
- Lu Caigen Tai'an Breakfast (Address: Daimiao Street, Tai'an City): Super many authentic breakfast options, Tai'an specialty beef fried buns, picker's strong dumplings, door buns, sugar fried cake get! The waiter will also explain the source of the dish. After eating, you will learn a lot ~ push the sugar fried cake!
- Ah Yuan Fish Sauce Hot Pot (Address: Dongyue Avenue, Tai'an City): First time trying fish hot pot, first drink fish soup, then eat fish meat (so tender!), fish congee as an ending, full. The fried fish strips and fish skin are worth an encore!



The whole trip push a wave, feel the extreme nature + authentic food + cloud sea wonderland hotel at once ~ have the strength to climb up every day, life list to fill it!
