Questions about Mount Tai

Friends who plan to visit Mount Tai should pay attention to the following points: 1. There are several different time arrangements for going to Mount Tai. Generally, we go up the mountain in the evening, watch the sunrise at Riguan Peak in the morning, and some go up the mountain to see the scenery during the day. The most test of physical strength and endurance is to start climbing at night, watch the sunrise at the peak of the sun in the morning, and then watch the scenery when you go down the mountain. Of course, you can also play in the mountains during the day, live in the mountains at night and watch the sunrise, and go down the mountain the next morning. As long as you have enough money. 2. The roads in Mount Tai are not very dangerous, and are basically composed of steps. Flat shoes are most suitable. The section from Shanmen to Zhongtianmen is easier to walk. After Zhongtianmen, the slope began to increase, and the section from slate plate to Nantianmen was steepest. The worse gate is not the place to watch the sunrise. There is still a long way to watch the sunrise from Nantianmen to Riguanfeng. Although very gentle, but also very tiring. There will be toilets along Mount Tai, but there is no flushing, especially for girls. From the moment you enter the mountain gate, there will be several large and small temples. If you don't want to worship Buddha, just follow the footsteps of the road. Some people who look like workers will blindly say, "Entering the temple is the way up the mountain, and the steps are the way down the mountain." Don't listen to them, it's actually the same. 6. The mineral water on Mount Tai is not expensive, except Zhongtianmen, the rest is 2 yuan a bottle (the price on May Day should be cheaper at ordinary times), so you don't have to carry too many mountains from the mountain. 7. It is necessary to rent a cotton-padded coat to climb the mountain and watch the sunrise at night. Generally, you can rent a cotton-padded coat when climbing to Zhongtianmen, but remember not to rent it in Zhongtianmen, which is extremely expensive. It's windy in Zhongtian Gate. If you go up at night, you'd better not stay in Zhongtianmen. Take a picture and continue. You can see many families renting cotton-padded clothes less than 500 meters ahead. General asking price 10 yuan (you can bargain if you rent an extra piece), and no deposit is required. One in 30 yuan, Zhongtian Gate, and one in 40 yuan. The cotton-padded jacket was returned the next day. If you pay the deposit, remember to keep the deposit slip. Also, when returning cotton-padded clothes, carefully check the pockets of clothes and don't return your own things together. (I just returned the flashlight for going up the mountain, which hurts ...) 8. On the way up the mountain, there will be many Buddha statues and bodhisattvas in the middle of the steps to give money to the people who go up the mountain. It's up to you to give it or not. What I want to say is that friends who go up the mountain at night must pay attention to their feet. Stepping on god is no joke. You'd better try to walk on both sides of the steps. 9. At the end of the day, many people who take one-time snapshots will shout and take you to take a shortcut to watch the sunrise. Of course, you have to give him some money. In fact, their paths are not much different. When you go down the mountain, you will find what they call a shortcut to the right. 10. The quickest way down the mountain is to take a cable car from Nantianmen to Zhongtianmen, and then take a bus from Zhongtianmen to Tianwai Village at the foot of the mountain. The whole journey takes about an hour, including the time to buy tickets and wait for the bus. 1 1. There are very few trash cans on Mount Tai, so when you go up the mountain, you should bring two more plastic bags and throw the garbage into the plastic belt. If you encounter a trash can, throw it away. 12. Finally, there is the cost of climbing Mount Tai. Take a taxi from Taishan Railway Station to Taishan Gate 10 yuan, and take a bus 1 yuan per person. The full price of Taishan tickets 125, and the half price of student tickets is 60 (generally cheaper during May Day and November). However, when buying student tickets, we must pay attention to the fact that the student ID card must be checked when entering the mountain, and it is also checked by the armed police. As strict as the national examination, the steel seal, registration stamp, photos and time are carefully checked. Insurance is voluntary, 2 yuan per person. The mineral water on the mountain is said to be a bottle of 2 yuan, but the rest is not clear. It will definitely be higher than the normal price, but it will not be too outrageous. The cost of entering the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha may depend on your Buddha's life. I bought three sticks of incense from the foot of the mountain and carried them all the way to the mountain. This is also a sincere prayer. There is a hotel on the top of the mountain, but I heard that it costs 300 to 500 a night. I don't know what the conditions are. There is also a camping tent for rent, a double person for one night is about 100 (I have never rented this either, but a friend who has been to Taishan told me). Downhill cable car (Nantianmen to Zhongtianmen) 45 yuan/person, no student ticket (similarly, uphill 45 yuan/person). Take a bus from Zhongtianmen to Tianwai Village at the foot of the mountain, per person 18 yuan. There will be a bus every 5 to 10 minutes during the day.
