Mount Tai Trip

I visited Mount Tai again, and I still chose to stay at the summit. Firstly, watching the sunrise🌅 and sunset🌇 is best done from the summit. This season, some of the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain have bloomed beautifully. Apart from the pine trees🌲, the peaks are gradually waking up from their winter slumber. There's a significant temperature difference between the foot and the summit of the mountain. To watch the sunrise, you need to get up at 04:30 and set off at 05:00. The times for sunrise and sunset can be checked on mobile apps. Hotels offer wake-up calls and guided services. It's recommended to bring a down jacket for warmth. It's best to wear your own clothes, although you can rent military coats on the mountain. Hygiene might be a concern, but they are fine for emergencies. After all, don't catch a cold. Given the limited conditions and difficulty in transporting goods to the mountain, don't be too picky. Hotel facilities vary, so it's best to check in advance or ask. There's no problem with food and drinks at the hotels, but you can't take a shower. Bring your own toiletries, although some are provided, it's still recommended to bring your own. There are restrooms and televisions📺 with quite a few channels available. Check the cable car operating times in advance. Going up the mountain is fine, but if you miss the last cable car, you'll have to stay on the mountain overnight. Also, make sure to check which cable car is operating and which is under maintenance to avoid wasting time on a detour. This time, I could only take the cable car at Peach Blossom Valley because the others were under maintenance. Information can be found on the official WeChat account Cable car operating hours 07:30-17:00 Cost for ascending 100, descending 100, Entrance ticket + bus ticket 150
