Tai'an

Home of Mount Tai, first of the Five Great Mountains, Tai'an offers sunrise climbs and imperial Fengshan ritual culture, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Tai'an lies in central Shandong at the southern foot of Mount Tai, a city built around its mountain. Mount Tai is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for both culture and nature, where emperors through the ages performed the Fengshan sacrifices, and there are many stone inscriptions along the way. You can hike to the summit or take the cable car, and watch the sunrise and sea of clouds from Jade Emperor Peak. At the foot of the mountain, Dai Temple is where Mount Tai was worshipped through the ages, with magnificent architecture. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for climbing, and in summer you can climb at night to escape the heat. The Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway has a Tai'an station, and the trip from Jinan is also easy.
