Mount Tai: Reaching the Peak and Overlooking All Mountains. Climbing Mount Tai, Feeling the Majesty of Heaven and Earth.

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.

The ancients did not deceive me, after returning from the Five Sacred Mountains one does not see the mountains

Mount Tai / Taishan Steps and steps

We climbed Taishan in January the temperature was cold especially at the top of the mountain. We climbed the route from the Red gate/ Hongmen gate this took us around 2:45hrs to reach the top with some small breaks along the way. Once at the top there is load of great view points and options for food. There is around 7000 steps up to the top but then we got the cable car and the bus back down.#newyearadventure #mountainview

Sunrise & Sunset @ Taishan Mountain

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

Zhanlu Terrace, Taishan Mountain Top

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

Taian is really too low-key, the first place on the budget list is really cost-effective!

Opened in 2023, there are schools nearby. Last time I came to take an exam with my partner, it was really close to the exam site, and I could take the exam as soon as I came out. It was really great, and the Hongmen Mountain Climbing Entrance is nearby. After the exam, I went climbing with my partner, and I fell in love with it. Pros: ✔ The room is large, with a refrigerator and direct drinking water ✔ The bathroom is separate from the shower, and the shower has a top spray ✔ There is a smart toilet ✔ Good service attitude, every waiter serves with a smile Cons: It was so cheap that I didn't believe I had booked such a cheap room until I got downstairs. Summary: It's a great deal, I'll come back next time I come to Taian!

Standing on the top of the mountain, I suddenly feel enlightened. The wind in the mountains always makes me feel free and relaxed. If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain. Sharing the 5 most beautiful mountains I climbed this year⛰️ · ❶ Shandong - Mount Tai (P1) "Climb to the top of the mountain, and see all the other mountains below." I climbed Mount Tai at night just to see the sunrise before dawn. When the morning light appeared and the sun shone through the clouds, the tranquility and mystery on the top of the mountain was a feast for the eyes. 5 hours of climbing and 2 hours of waiting were worth it when I saw the sunrise‼️ ❷ Anhui - Mount Tianzhu (P2-P4) "Mount Tianzhu rises to the clouds, surrounded by mist like smoke." Mount Tianzhu is really beautiful and spectacular, with its strange peaks, beautiful waters, secluded caves, and gorges. The scenery is no less than that of Mount Huangshan‼️ ❸ Jiangxi - Guifeng (P5, P6) "The strange peaks and ridges of Guifeng are not found in Yandang." Xu Xiake was right. The Danxia landscape and strange rocks here are really amazing. No wonder it is a World Natural Heritage site‼️ ❹ Jiangxi - Mount Sanqing (P7, P8) "After seeing the Five Sacred Mountains, the best scenery is in Mount Sanqing." Mount Sanqing is really beautiful, with its rolling mountains, rock formations, sunrise, and sea of clouds. You must climb it once in your life‼️ ❺ Anhui - Mount Qiyun (P9, P10) A seriously underrated Taoist mountain, with its unique Danxia landform, rich history and culture, and ancient village built on the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist all year round.
