A "Lu" Flower (II) - Mount Tai, Shandong

Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue, Taiyue, these names are not unfamiliar to everyone, right? That's right, it is one of the Five Sacred Mountains, known as the "First of the Five Sacred Mountains," "The Most Revered of the Five Sacred Mountains," and "The First Mountain Under Heaven." It is referred to by scholars both in China and abroad as the "Olympus of China." Mount Tai has many titles. Its titles don't end there, there may be more than you think. Mount Tai has inherited 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, symbolizing the prosperity of the nation and the survival of the people. It is the spiritual home of the Chinese nation, a microcosm of Eastern culture, a place of "harmony between heaven and man," and carries rich geographical, historical, and cultural connotations. It was regarded by the ancients as a paradise "directly connected to the throne of the emperor," a sacred mountain worshipped by the people and a place where emperors offered sacrifices. There is a saying, "When Mount Tai is stable, the world is at peace." Looking up, the road ahead stretches to the end. Narrow, steep, swaying, winding. Step onto the road ahead, mountains and rivers, twists and turns, winds and waves, forming ridges and peaks. The greatness of the mountain reveals one's insignificance. The vastness of the mountain makes one feel the fleeting nature of life. Therefore, it is better to have no taboos than to be bored. See the world, see all beings, see yourself. 📌TIPS: 📍Location: Search for Mount Tai in navigation. 💰Tickets: CNY 115/person 💠Cable Car (One Way) Zhongtianmen - Nantianmen CNY 100/person Taohuayu - Nantianmen CNY 100/person 💠Scenic Area Shuttle Bus: Tianwaicun - Zhongtianmen CNY 35/person Taohuayu - Taohuayuan CNY 35/person 🅿️Parking: The parking lot near Mount Tai Scenic Area charges by the hour, as follows: 🌀‌Hongmen Area‌: ‌Hongmen - Ecological Parking Lot‌: Small vehicles CNY 5/hour during the day, CNY 2.5/hour at night, maximum daily charge CNY 40.‌ ‌Hongmen Tourist Center - Underground Parking Lot‌: Small vehicles CNY 2.5/hour, maximum daily charge CNY 40.‌ ‌Hongmen Indoor Parking Lot‌: Small vehicles CNY 2.5/30 minutes, maximum daily charge CNY 40.‌ 🌀‌Tianwaicun Area‌: ‌Tianwaicun Parking Lot‌: Small vehicles CNY 5/hour during the day, CNY 2.5/hour at night, maximum daily charge CNY 40.‌ ‌Mount Tai Scenic Area Tourist Transfer Center Parking Lot‌: Small vehicles CNY 5/hour during the day, CNY 2.5/hour at night, maximum daily charge CNY 40.‌ 🌀‌Taohuayu Area‌: ‌Taohuayu Parking Lot‌: Small vehicles CNY 5/hour during the day, CNY 3/hour at night, maximum daily charge CNY 40.‌ 🌀‌Other Parking Information‌: ‌Tai'an Municipal Government Parking Lot‌: Free ‌Forestry School Playground Parking Lot‌: Free These charges may be adjusted according to actual conditions, it is recommended to check the latest charges when you go. 💟A Few Words: In winter, the biggest fear when climbing is sweating, as wet clothes can cause colds if not changed in time.
