Route

Hongmen Zhongtianmen Nantianmen Tianjie Zhanlutai Riguanfeng Yuhuangding

People with good physical strength can start from Hongmen at the foot of the mountain and hike the whole way without cable cars, with a climbing time of about 5-7 hours. In order to ensure that my physical strength can support my final climb to the top of the mountain, I started at about 21:30 p.m. with a little sports experience to the Hongmen Tourist Center at the foot of Mount Taishan Mountain to reserve enough rest time on the mountain

Tianwai Village - Scenic Area Bus - Zhongtianmen - Hiking or Cableway - Nantianmen

If there are elderly or children who are unable to walk the entire distance, they can also take the scenic area bus from Tianwai Village to Zhongtianmen, and then start hiking or taking the cableway from Zhongtianmen. The Zhongtian Gate is located halfway up Mount Taishan, so climbing from the Zhongtian Gate is equivalent to saving half of your energy

Time Schedule

Starting from the ticket checkpoint at 1.12 pm, arrive at Zhongtianmen at 1:10 pm, arrive in one breath, and have no breaks along the way. Drink water while walking. Severe physical exhaustion and weak soles of the feet. Tianmen rested for 50 minutes

From 2.2pm to 3:35pm, it took 1 hour and 35 minutes to travel from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen. During the journey, the speed noticeably slowed down and there were several ultra short breaks.

From 3:35 pm to 4:45 pm, Nantianmen - the best sun watching point (near Zhanlutai). I spent a lot of time shooting the night view of Tai'an City near Tianjie, taking a stroll and leisurely strolling around

In summary, it is not a problem for young men to reach the summit in 3 hours. Generally, for young and middle-aged women, 4-5 hours is not a problem at all

Clothing

1. Bring a long sleeved shirt in your bag and wear short sleeved and long pants on your body

2. Military coat, buy it at Tianjie after going to Nantianmen, the cheaper it gets as you walk into Tianjie

3. Strong and robust men, do not wear long sleeved shirts and do not rent military coats)

4. Sweat profusely below Zhongtianmen and wipe off sweat in a timely manner. There is a cold wind above Zhongtian Gate, and sweat has decreased.

Carry on items

1. There are two extra bottles of water, so you can buy them whenever you are thirsty. The average price is 2 yuan per bottle. It is not recommended to buy vendors' watermelons, cucumbers, etc., nor to eat. Climbing mountains after consumption is not good for the stomach. Unless the rest time is long

In February, down jackets are not enough, don't sleep on them, simple long sleeves are enough. Buying a military coat on Tianjie is too heavy!!! Returning from the mountain is also very tiring

3. It is recommended to wear a hat. After sweating, the hair becomes very wet, and blowing on the mountaintop can easily catch a cold

4. A cane, one for each person,; Lights are very important, at least one person in the same industry has them

5. Anti mosquito spray has some effects. It is good to spray it before going out, and you don't need to carry it
