It’s not too late to climb Mount Tai at the age of 30 (how to avoid hurting your knees?

The main point is that you rely on your legs to go up the mountain and rely on the cable car to go down the mountain 😅 🔸Take the bus from Tianwai Village to Zhongtianmen 🔸Climb from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen-Yuhuangding🧗🏻‍♀️ 🔸Nantianmen Cable Car to Zhongtianmen 🔸Take the bus from Zhongtianmen to Tianwai Village The whole journey from Zhongtianmen to Yuhuangding and then down to Zhongtianmen takes five hours. Including time for rest, taking photos, eating and drinking I think this arrangement is more friendly to beginners or people like me who have bad knees. Tips🔖 🔸Not being a special forces soldier, I stayed near Hongmen for one night. There are relatively many homestays near Hongmen 🔸If you don’t have frequent hiking or mountaineering needs in the future, you don’t need to spend money to buy trekking poles. Some homestays can provide them for free. 🔸Is it better to climb at night or during the day? They each have their own characteristics. I am past the age of night crawling 😅. But if you want to see the scenery, it is definitely better to climb by day. 🔸Sunscreen❗️Sunscreen❗️Sunscreen❗️Must use waterproof and sweat-proof ones 🔸At least bring two bottles of water (or energy drinks) 🔸You can bring more biscuits, beef jerky and other energy supplements (better than bringing sesame cakes) 🔸There are fewer people at around 8 am than at noon, so it won’t take too long to queue up for the cable car or bus. I didn’t expect that when I celebrated my workout partner’s 31st birthday, I also fulfilled my long-cherished wish of climbing Mount Tai for the first time. Then I set a goal and hope to check in all five mountains before I turn 40🤔
