"Before visiting Mount Tai, I read numerous hotel reviews and ultimately chose this one. After my stay, I can only say: I stumbled upon a treasure! Located in the city at the foot of Mount Tai, it's incredibly convenient for climbing to the summit to watch the sunrise, exploring Tai'an's old town, and sampling the local delicacies. It's a perfect ”travel stopover” for your Mount Tai trip!
The hotel is located directly on the Caiyuan Gate, Tai'an's iconic landmark. My first impression of the hotel was its cleanliness and sleekness. The reception desk is small, but spotlessly clean, with candy bars and tea available. Check-in was super fast. They also have a laundry room, vending machines, and even provide free hiking poles before your hike—details that clearly show their dedication to service.
The highlight is the room! The space I stayed in was incredibly well-utilized. The light wood walls and floors, paired with simple furniture, create a warm and bright atmosphere. There's also a tea bar and a convenient sink. The view from the window was amazing. Pulling open the curtains, I could vaguely see the city and distant mountains. During the day, sunlight streamed in, brightening the room. At night, when I wanted to rest, I could sit on the small chair by the window and enjoy the night breeze. It was incredibly comfortable. The bedding was crisp and soft, and the mattress was incredibly soft. After a tiring day of hiking, I just sank into bed and didn't even bother to turn. I slept soundly until dawn, feeling completely refreshed! The small desk and chair in the room were also very practical, making them convenient for eating and working. The chair was comfortable, and the details were thoughtfully thought out.
The surrounding amenities were even more impressive! Just downstairs was a snack street with Tai'an specialties like xiaolongbao (small dumplings), roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo), and pancakes. I enjoyed a variety of dishes along the way, and after a full breakfast, I felt energized before climbing Mount Tai. The hotel is also not far from Ginza Mall and RT-Mart. If you don't want to walk to the Hongmen trailhead, a taxi is about ten minutes away. There's also a bus stop across the street, making transportation very convenient. It's also very close to the high-speed rail station, only a dozen minutes away. After climbing the mountain in the evening, I strolled back to the hotel, grabbing some barbecue and fried skewers for a late-night snack. It was a great way to digest the food while enjoying the vibrant nightlife of Tai'an. It was a truly blissful experience!
This stay was truly fantastic. Whether you're looking for a good rest or want to efficiently plan your Mount Tai itinerary, this is the right choice. I'll definitely stay at this hotel again when I return to Tai'an!"
