The most fascinating thing about Mount Tai is that it is the only famous mountain in the history of China that has been closed to Zen by the emperor. At the same time, Mount Tai is also a place where Buddhism and Taoism flourish, and it is a mountain that emperors of all dynasties worship. Wherever emperors went, they built temples and carved stone inscriptions, leaving many cultural relics and historical sites. Celebrities and grandmasters of all ages also admired Mount Tai and visited it in succession. There are more than a thousand poems and songs praising Mount Tai in the past dynasties. There are four wonders to visit Mount Tai: the sunrise on Mount Tai, the jade plate in the sea of clouds, the sunset glow and the golden belt of the Yellow River.

The best time to visit:
The best time to visit Mount Tai is from May to November, and the best time to watch the sunrise is in autumn. The sunset on Daiding is more attractive than sunrise. It is said that the Yellow River can be seen when the weather is fine. The scenery is amazing when it snows in winter. Don't give up climbing easily in rainy days. At this moment, the mountains often encounter the wonders of the sea of clouds, and it is even luckier if they encounter the sea of clouds at sunrise.
Precautions:
1. To go to Taishan, you should buy a return ticket as soon as possible. After all, Tai 'an is a small city, and there are many passing cars, so it is difficult to get a ticket.
2. If you are not very interested in cultural relics and just want to climb the mountain, it is suggested to start climbing from Hongmen.
3. At first, the mountain road was relatively flat, and there were many temples and inscriptions all the way. It is recommended not to spend too much time, leaving some energy and time behind.
4. Climbing the mountain must be down-to-earth and not too fast. This consumes the least physical strength. Eighteen plates are known as the ladder, with a vertical height of 4 meters. Looking from a distance, it looks like a belt hanging under the worse gate, which is a great wonder of Mount Tai. Although Zhongtianmen has a cable car to the finish line, if you miss this section, you will lose a lot of fun to climb Mount Tai.
5. If the physical strength is not good, it is suggested that the cable car go down to Zhongtianmen.
6. When climbing Mount Tai, you must bring more clothes to change. You sweat too much when climbing the mountain, and the top of the mountain is a little cold. Put on clean clothes to avoid catching a cold.
