Tai'an is more than just Mount Tai. Today, I'm recommending some delicious food and refreshments for after your hike. 1️⃣ Taishan Fried Chicken I recommend two fried chicken restaurants. I prefer the chain's green peppercorn fried chicken, which is fragrant and numbing with the green peppercorns. I also try the authentic Taishan fresh peppercorn chicken, which a local took me to. It's incredibly spicy and numbing, and the portions are generous! 2️⃣ Shandong Cuisine Lu Cuisine Roots. I really like their Taishan pancakes with green onions. Paired with peanut, fish sauce, and scallions, they're delicious. Other Shandong dishes are also affordable. 3️⃣ Old County Yamen Cuisine. The Old County Yamen is a large courtyard with many delicious restaurants nearby, such as Fan Ji Rice Noodles, Boshan Meat Pancakes, and the Greedy Snacks Collection Store. 4️⃣ Dai Temple You can buy the internet-famous "Grandpa's Taishan Stone Cang Dang" here! They're affordable and make a great souvenir! 5️⃣ Taishan Cultural and Creative Center At the foot of Mount Tai, I bought some fridge magnets at the Taishan Cultural and Creative Center. They even offer stamps! Climbing Mount Tai at night

Two days and one night for 300 RMB per person, with excellent meals every time. Locals will visit again and again 😭😭 - ⭕️Must-see attractions ▪️Transportation: Take the 🚄 bus to Taishan Station, which is much closer to the scenic area than Tai'an Station. ▪️Route: I took the Tianwai Village route, arriving at the foot of the mountain at 10 AM and taking the scenic area bus up the mountain. ▪️Visiting order: Tianwai Village Visitor Center ➡️ Scenic area bus (20 minutes) ➡️ Zhongtianmen ➡️ Cable car (10 minutes) ➡️ Nantianmen ➡️ Hiking (25 minutes) ➡️ Bixia Temple ➡️ Hiking (10 minutes) ➡️ Wuyue Duzun ➡️ Hiking (5 minutes) ➡️ Yuhuangding ▪️Duration: The entire journey takes 6 hours. It's easy to walk and stop, and even beginners, seniors, and children can reach the summit. ⚠️Here are my personal suggestions: 1️ ⃣ Trekking poles are a must for girls! They're great for photos at the summit and provide a base for support while climbing, otherwise you'll have back pain the next day. 2️⃣ Bring your ID, a power bank (10 yuan/hour on the mountain), lightweight sportswear, and non-slip sneakers. 3️⃣ A bottle of water per person is sufficient; you can buy them on the mountain for 2-5 yuan per bottle. 4️⃣ Check the weather before your trip. If rain is forecast, bring a raincoat. Wear sunscreen if it's hot. 5️⃣ The last cable car trip down the mountain is at 5:30 PM, so plan your trip in advance to avoid missing out. ⭕️ Must-try souvenirs ✅ Mr. Stone's Oven (Taishan Cultural Tourism Theme Store) The bakery on the first floor and the teahouse on the second floor are perfect for a break after climbing. 📍 The viewpoint at the entrance of Tianwai Village is fantastic for photos and the sunset is also fantastic! I ordered the fireside hot tea set. Paired with Chinese pastries, it's both beautiful and delicious. The Taishan stone, Taishan water, and Taishan spirit are imprinted on the pastries. Good luck peanuts, persimmons... symbolize good fortune, who wouldn't love that? 🈶️ 17 varieties in total!! They're both realistic and adorable. Taking a few before leaving Mount Tai is so meaningful!! ✅ South Gate of the Dai Temple Those who love the stone talismans and Taishan Goddess's blessing sachets can buy 3 for 10r each, much cheaper than at Mount Tai! ⭕️Must-try snacks 👉🏻Old County Yamen Food Street ✅ Guohua Noodle House A time-honored Taishan specialty! 8rmb for a self-service noodle soup and a main course. The chicken noodle soup is lighter, and there are 789 main courses. ✅ Small Tofu Pudding This shop has been around for over 20 years. The owner makes tofu with Taishan water every day. A bowl of iced tofu pudding is so refreshing on a hot day! 🈺6-15 pm ✅ Fan Ji Rice Noodles A long-standing rice noodle shop! Their signature kimchi rice noodles are delicious, perfect for noodle lovers! ✅ Huan Xi Fried Food Shop The skewers are sprinkled with dry noodles, so they're not greasy at all! Vegetable and tofu skewers are only 1r ✅ Noodle Boy The signature mixed noodles are incredibly delicious! I couldn't get enough from my takeaway on the first day, so I went back the next day. ⭕️Must-Visit Night Markets ✅ Beixin Night Market (8 Naihe East Road) The most comprehensive night market in Tai'an! It has everything you need for food, drinks, and fun! It's bursting with the vibrant atmosphere! A must-visit night market for Tai'an residents!

Do you only know to climb Mount Tai when you come to Tai'an? Then you are at a big loss! As one of the birthplaces of Shandong cuisine, the food here hides too many surprises~ I have sorted out 6 restaurants that I have personally tested and never missed, foodies, please mark them! 👇 🔥【Roots of Shandong Cuisine (Puzhao Store)】 Entering the store is like entering the Taishan Folk Museum! Old farm tools are hung on the wall, and the waiters are wearing coarse cloth shirts. The atmosphere is directly full~ You must order Taishan fried chicken, the chicken is stewed to crispy and boneless, and you can eat three bowls of rice with the soup! There are also hardcore specialties such as fried mountain scorpions, which dare to try new things. You must try it! 🍖【Eight Plates】 A fly restaurant that locals have eaten since childhood, you must queue up at mealtime! The grilled ribs are the soul player, the skin is crispy and the inside is juicy, sprinkled with sesame and fragrant~ Paired with a bowl of hot and sour tripe soup, it is greasy and warms the stomach, and the average cost is 30 yuan per person, so you have to lean on the wall to eat! 🍯【Zui De Yi・Stir-fried Chicken with Camellia Oil (Wanda Store, Tai'an)】 This is the best value for money! The signature fried chicken with camellia oil is substantial, attractive in color and aroma can instantly whet your appetite. The drunk pork ribs are wrapped in golden sugar coating, and the sweet and sour juice bursts in your mouth when you bite it. It's really amazing with rice~ You can take the self-service fruits and snacks in the store as you like, just go for it if you are a student! 🌶️【Guohua Noodle House】 The morning of Tai'an people starts with a bowl of noodle soup! The beige soup is filled with shredded chicken, sprinkled with coriander and white pepper, and you will feel warm after taking a sip~ Remember to pair it with the freshly baked oil cake, soak it in the soup and eat it until you lick the bowl! 🥮【Hua Rongzhe Green Bean Cake (Tai'an Store)】 A popular pastry that always has a long queue every time you pass by! The mung bean pancake has a thin crust and a lot of fillings. It is as dense as a cloud when you eat it, and the sweetness is just right. It is even better to eat it after refrigeration. It is so refreshing to have a piece in summer. It is very suitable to bring two boxes as souvenirs! 🍜【Fan Ji Rice Noodles】 This old street rice noodle shop has been open for more than 20 years. The kimchi is an exclusive secret recipe! The sour and crispy kimchi is paired with Q-elastic rice noodles. The soup base is boiled with big bones. It tastes so fresh. Add a fried egg to absorb the soup. Who knows this one! 💡Tips: Tai'an cuisine is salty and fresh. You can ask the boss to put less salt when ordering dishes. Don't forget to bring two packs of Taishan pancakes as snacks after eating. Roll them with green onions and sweet noodle sauce. They are so fragrant that you can't stop eating!
