Mount Tai, hailed as the 'Chief of the Five Sacred Mountains,' is a magnificent peak that offers endless awe with its towering grandeur and profound historical and cultural heritage. The climb feels like a journey through time, from the undulating stone steps to the pine and cypress-lined paths, every inch of Mount Tai is steeped in ancient atmosphere. Whether it's the grandeur of the Middle Heaven Gate or the magnificence of the South Heaven Gate, I felt the vastness and majesty between heaven and earth. The most unforgettable moment was reaching the Jade Emperor Peak at dawn and witnessing the sunrise over Mount Tai. At that moment, the rosy light pierced through the clouds, draping the mountain in a golden veil, illuminating the world in a brilliant glow. This breathtaking natural beauty evokes the ancient sentiment of 'Reaching the peak and overlooking all mountains.' This journey to Mount Tai was not just an exploration of nature, but also a reflection on oneself and culture. The beauty of Mount Tai lies not only in its scenery but also in its thousand-year history and culture, making it a journey of spiritual elevation.

　ウィキペディアによれば、"岱庙（daimiao、岱廟ダイビョウ）は、泰山を祭る廟である" 単純明解です。 　秦の始皇帝の時代から歴代の皇帝が泰山登山の前に立ち寄り、儀式を行ってきた場所で、泰山登山の出発地です。 　園内には、中国3大建築遺跡の一つである、宋天贶殿があります。(3大は他に、北京紫禁城、曲阜孔廟大成殿でどちらも世界遺産です) 　場内からも泰山が見ることができ、これから登る人は、必ず登ってやると奮起し、登った人はよく登ったと自分を褒める場所になるのではないでしょうか？ 　石碑なども多数あり、じっくり回るのが良いかもしれません。自分はこれから泰山登山で気持ちを奮起させてしまったので、ゆっくり見ずに出発してしまったのが、今としては残念です。 　外国人はアプリで事前登録する事ができませんが、2023年3月まではタダで入る事ができ、自分の時は検査もなかったので、そのまま入れました。 #泰安 #泰山 #岱庙 #岱廟 #宗天殿#秦始皇帝

Exploring Taishan Mountain, Shandong: Sunrise and Sunset. One of the best thing to enjoy at Taishan Mountain Top is to watch the sun. Many tourists climb the mountain during the night to arrive just in time to watch the sunrise. Some hotel arrange morning call and brings guests to watch the sunrise. There is more than one place to watch sunrise and sunset. Jade Emperor Peak (Yuhuang Ding) 玉皇顶, the summit of Mount Tai and the highest peak at the altitude of 1545 meters, is one this thanks to its 360 degree view. Another spot is the Sun-Viewing Peak 日观峰 a 30 meters corridor located in the southeast of Jade Emperor Peak. Also the Zhanlu Terrace 瞻鲁台 a long platform from where Confucius saw his Country. All of the are very crowded, need to go there early to get a good spot. I did choose the Sun Viewing Peak for the reason that I wanted not to shot the Sun but the Jade Emperor Peak at Sunrise with the special light (unfortunately the sky was not clear so not great shot!) #tripblazers #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #lucaworldtraveler

Exploring Taishan Mountain, Shandong - n.8: Zhanlu Terrace 瞻鲁台 It is a long flat terrace where three characters "Zhanlutai" are engraved on the platform, implying that Qufu of the state of Lu which is the home state of Confucius can be seen from here. This is the place where the story tells that Confucius went and saw his country and said: “The world is small”. One the top spots in Taishan Mountain Top. There is a gate to pass through to access the platform, a round shape gate for scenographic shots. This is also one of the best place to watch the sunrise…it is very crowded…go there early! #fallingforfall #tripblazers #mytripvlog #lucaworldtraveler

Exploring Taishan Mountain, Shandong - n.4: Nantianmen Gate (South Gate to Heaven) 南天门 1460m asl also named Heavenly Gate Pass, is located at the end of Eighteen Twistings, at 1460 meters above sea level, built by Zhang Zhichun, an abbot in 1264, decorated by red walls and yellow glazed tiles on the roof and stone arched doorway. The cableway station is 10min away. After so many stairs is a great achievement to arrive here, the most difficult part is done! You are finally at the mountain top. Looking back from the gate there’s an amazing view over the thousands steps climbed. #fallingforfall #tripblazers #mytripvlog #lucaworldtraveler

#passionpassport Besides historic relics, this mountain boasts unique natural scenery too. The lofty peaks, deep valleys, spectacular waterfalls, enchanting rocks and the centuries-old pines and cypresses will undoubtedly encourage you linger with no thought of leaving. The four wonders here are Sunrises from the East, the Sunset Glow, the Sea of Clouds and the Golden Belt along the Yellow River. It would be a great pity to miss the four wonders. We went there on New Year evening to see sunrise. It got very cold on the top so wear accordingly. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration #traveladdict

Feel the grandeur of Mount Taishan, the "Chief of the Five Sacred Mountains," in the cold winter wind. Experience the magnificence of "viewing all the other mountains in a single glance" at the top of the steep and towering Mount Taishan. ❣️ Trip Preparation: Plan Carefully for a Happy New Year 👀 Book Accommodation in Advance 😃 Mount Taishan is a popular tourist destination during the Lunar New Year. We recommend booking accommodation in advance. 💙 Buy Tickets on WeChat 😜 Follow the "Mount Taishan Scenic Area" WeChat official account, go to the "Ticket Reservation" section, and select a suitable route (including a one-way bus ticket). Ticket price reference: An adult ticket plus a one-way bus ticket from Tianping Lake to Zhongtianmen is about ¥150 (subject to change during the Lunar New Year). Tip: We bought tickets for 8:00–12:00. We recommend buying tickets for 7:00–9:00 to avoid the crowds. The entire journey can be divided into two sections: Hongmen–Zhongtianmen–Nantianmen. Zhongtianmen is about 2–2.5 hours into the first half of the journey. The second half is steeper with more stairs and takes 2.5–3 hours. 🧗‍♀️ Climbing Routes: Classic Route: Daizong Archway ➡️ Hongmen Visitor Center (buy tickets to enter the mountain) ➡️ Hongmen Palace ➡️ Wanxian Tower ➡️ Doumu Palace ➡️ Jingshi Valley ➡️ Hutian Pavilion ➡️ Huima Ridge ➡️ Zhongtianmen ➡️ Kuaihuo Three Miles ➡️ Yunbu Bridge ➡️ Wudafu Pine ➡️ Eighteen Bends ➡️ Tianjie ➡️ Bixia Temple ➡️ Cliff Inscriptions ➡️ Chief of the Five Sacred Mountains ➡️ Jade Emperor Peak. Convenient Route: Tianwai Village Visitor Center (buy tickets to enter the mountain) ➡️ Longtan Reservoir ➡️ Bailong Pool ➡️ Heilong Pool ➡️ Bamboo Forest Temple ➡️ Huangxi River Reservoir ➡️ Fanzi Cliff ➡️ Aolai Peak ➡️ Zhongtianmen (take the cable car) ➡️ Nantianmen ➡️ Bixia Temple ➡️ Jade Emperor Peak. Other Notes: Clothing: It is cold in winter, so a windbreaker or thick down jacket is needed to protect against the mountain wind. Choose windproof and lightweight clothing to make climbing easier. Windproof hats, scarves, and gloves are essential. Gloves are very useful when holding onto the mountain or handrails. Wear hiking shoes or sneakers that are lightweight and warm. Bring a hiking stick, which is very useful. You don't need to bring a lot of food and drinks, as carrying a heavy load is tiring. Food is also available on the mountain, although it is a little more expensive. If you are bringing children, you can bring some food.

It was very hot during the climb, so quick-dry clothes, pants, and socks are a must. You will sweat while climbing, but your clothes will be dry when you reach the top. Clothing: quick-dry clothes, pants, fleece, waterproof pants, wool socks, down jacket, and non-slip shoes. I couldn't find the bus stop after arriving at Mount Taishan, so I took a taxi for CNY 7 to the old county government office and had Guohua Sa Soup. The self-service soup was CNY 8 per person. The soup was okay, but everything else was too salty. After eating, I walked to Dai Temple, which took about 10 minutes. The ticket was CNY 20 per person, and a tour guide for less than 9 people was CNY 160. We spent more than an hour in Dai Temple, entering from the south gate and exiting from the north gate. After exiting, we walked straight to Hongmen. We found a dumpling restaurant halfway and had lunch. The owner refilled our cups with hot water. After resting, we set off at 1 pm and walked for about 10 minutes to Hongmen. Tickets were CNY 115 per person and CNY 57 per student. It took us 2.5 hours to get from Hongmen to Zhongtianmen. We went to Jingshiyu halfway, which took half an hour. The kids were exhausted. We arrived at Zhongtianmen at 3:30 pm. According to the guide, food is cheaper if you walk further, but we were too tired to notice. We bought an apple, a cucumber, and two oranges for CNY 45, a Shandong pancake for CNY 15, and a hand-grab pancake for CNY 15. We got free hot water because we bought something. The Shandong pancake was different from what I imagined. It was hard and needed to be pulled hard to bite off. After resting for half an hour, we decided not to take the cable car and continued climbing. The good thing about traveling in winter is that there are not many people. We met a few people along the way, and we cheered each other on. It was a great experience. It was dark later, and we couldn't see the stone carvings, which was a pity. Looking back, we saw the lights of thousands of homes. The light from Nantianmen guided us, and we climbed happily. We arrived at Nantianmen at 8 pm. We booked a special room at Shenqi Hotel for CNY 669. The room had good air conditioning, but the water flow was small. We ordered a two-person set meal for CNY 188, which was delivered to our room. Maybe I was hungry, but it tasted good. The cabbage and tofu soup was delicious, and I drank two bowls after eating. The next day, it was foggy and smoggy, so we didn't see the sunrise. We didn't see the sunrise, sunset, sea of clouds, or Yellow River Golden Belt on this trip, but we did worship the Old Lady of Mount Taishan. I will come again.
