The mountain was an important object of the cult worship of mountains even before 219 BCE, when the Qin Emperor paid tribute to the mountain to inform the gods of his success in unifying all of China. Watching the sunrise and catching the spectacular sea of clouds are common activities that visitors engage in. You are also encouraged to explore the ancient sites, engravings, and religious temples to understand the role of Mount Tai in China's long history.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: Last winter vacation, I and my parents had a wonderful time on Mountain Tai, the most famous of the five great mountains. It is located in Tai'an where my grandpa and grandma live. On the foot of Mountain Tai, there is a deep pool called Black Dragon Pool. Its water was dark green. It looked like a mysterious prince. There is a legend that the water of Black Dragon Pool can flow into the Baotu Spring in Jinan. If you throw a coin into this pool, you can find it in Baotu Spring. We played there for a long time with happiness. Then, we took a bus to the beginning of the hike. To climb on the top of the mountain, it was a long way ahead of us. Though much energy was burned, we don't feel tired. The beautiful scene on the top of the mountain gave us motivation. Finally, we got the top of the mountain. The road behind us seemed to be almost flat. Wow, a fantastic painting appeared to us. There was sea of clouds. The fog covered the mountain, and there was a faint view of the rolling hills and the looming cable car. What an amazing scene it was!

Artist-lulu: The bamboo forest secret is actually only a small section to take pictures. If it is not far from the tofu street, "Yes" can be seen, but "Bypass" is specially/special ｛ to appreciate the bamboo ｝ I don't feel much need. I don't need ～ It's easy to get lost, drive to the navigation and leave the channel, and scare to death in the mountains. Can't turn around "The road is small ～ really small, only one car deep and wide" navigation to "Kiko there", along the road to see the "Bamboo Forest Secret" direction, there is free parking next to it, see it is right, just a few seconds to get off the bus to the bamboo forest Secret ～ If you look at google map will guide "Eagle's Hometown Camping Area" is wrong. Fortunately, when you meet the locals, drive us, or you will drive to cry. 😭🥺

Reviews from Real Guests:

ニーハオ: On the next day of the mountain climbing, there were many other people who were not able to climb small stairs due to muscle pain. It became a natural and harmonious atmosphere while laughing at each other. Taizan is a great place to see and there are valuable excavated items such as stone monuments that Lishi dug, and sightseeing with mountain climbing is good. It seems that you can enter this place by the ticket of Taishan, but I didn't know it, and I left it at the hotel, so I bought the ticket again. I have been sightseeing leisurely, but I spent 1 days until evening. There are many hotels nearby, so it is a very convenient city to match Mt. Tai
