Shandong burn incense and tell fortune.

It's cloudy and cloudy in recent days, and the sunrise is hard to meet. Many Tai 'an people have climbed Mount Tai five or six times and never seen the sunrise. When they can't see the sunrise, there will be a sea of clouds, which is also spectacular.

Most souvenirs are not made locally. You can buy some small ornaments made of resin, and the smaller Mount Tai Shi Gandang is also worth buying, which can ward off evil spirits at home. Ganoderma lucidum bonsai is very distinctive, only sold in some big stores, and the price is higher, so you can choose according to your personal situation. I suggest you buy some souvenirs for your friends in the big supermarkets (Ginza, Zhong Bai and Lianhua). Cheap ones are: Taishan pancake (in various flavors, packaged in a small box, beautiful and convenient to carry, four or five yuan a box), Taishan Lingzhi tablet (packaged artificially cultured Ganoderma lucidum slices, quite cheap, less than ten yuan); The high-end and beautiful ones are "Four Treasures of Mount Tai" (wild Ganoderma lucidum, Mount Tai ginseng, Polygonatum sibiricum, Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. ) in a password box, a box of 100 yuan.

You can bring your own if you burn incense. The price of incense is high, but "no one is forced to burn it." You can buy it at the foot of the mountain. Remember to bargain. Generally, three sticks of incense 5- 10 yuan can be obtained. You can also buy it at the top of the mountain. Now there are some incense sellers on the top of the mountain, which are not expensive. It can almost be won at the special price of 10 yuan. It is said that the incense you brought along the way is more effective, because it shows your piety ~ remember to ask before burning incense, some places are not allowed to burn it casually, and sometimes people will charge you money. Asking clearly will reduce unnecessary trouble.

Attached is the content of my reply to a friend's post about traveling, clothing, food, housing and transportation in Mount Tai the other day, hoping to help you:

Clothing: The temperature in Tai 'an is basically maintained at 25-25 degrees Celsius in July and August, so you can wear summer clothes. But the temperature on the mountain is low, and the climate and temperature between mountains are very different. In July and August, the temperature at the top of Mount Tai is around 10 degrees, so it is necessary to bring a coat, preferably a down jacket (the temperature at the top of the mountain is 10 degrees lower than that at the foot of the mountain, and it is windy and generally cold. Although there are military coats and down jackets for rent at the top of the mountain, they are very unclean and unsanitary. )

Gourmet: Tai 'an's catering industry is fairly developed, and its consumption level is acceptable, ranging from high school to low school. Generally speaking, food is not expensive, but don't eat in Taishan or restaurants near Taishan. Prices are generally expensive, especially at the top of the mountain. A bowl of ordinary Lamian Noodles sells 20 yuan, and fritters are sold by roots. The price can catch up with KFC's reassuring fritters. It is suggested to buy some portable food in the supermarket before climbing the mountain.

Accommodation: According to the ticket price and time, Taishan is now in the peak season (Taishan ticket peak season: 125 yuan/person (off-season: all day 1 person, and the peak season price is implemented from February1to165438+1October 30 every year). But it's not as terrible as my friends upstairs said, just a little more people than usual. The real peak season is May Day and November, and the 18th plate of Mount Tai is crowded with people. I'm from Tai 'an, and I went to play in the mountains at noon today. There are more tourists than half a month ago. Now it's summer vacation, so the tourists are mainly college students. Now come to Tai 'an, you don't need to book a hotel, there are many hotels in Tai 'an. There are high, middle and low-grade hotels at the foot of the mountain. Generally, the standard room of small and medium-sized hotels is 60- 100. Try not to stay in hotels near railway stations and bus stations. Generally speaking, it is easy to be slaughtered (as if this is the law all over the country). It is recommended to stay in some chain hotels, which are hygienic and safe and the price is acceptable. For example: Home Inn, Seven Days, Green Branch 88, Jinhua, Baidu Sunshine, etc. The standard room is also at 88- 190, and you can also take a shower and surf the internet.

Ok: In a big way, Tai 'an is adjacent to Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, in the south, with convenient transportation. From a small perspective, the city's traffic is also very developed. There are many buses and taxis. Taxis in Tai 'an are equipped with a meter that can print tickets, and the management is relatively standardized. Note: You have to go to "taishan station" by train. Tai 'an Railway Station doesn't need the city name as the station name!

There are several routes to climb Mount Tai. If you don't want to walk, you need to go up the mountain by car, and the prices vary from route to route. It's all about 20 yuan, so you can't climb to the top by car. You need to change to the ropeway at the end. Cableway one-way 80 yuan, round trip 140 yuan. You can climb the mountain from Tianwai Village, Hong Men, Taohuayu, Tianzhu Peak, Houshiwu and other places and routes. If it is the first time to climb Mount Tai, it is recommended to take bus No.3 from the railway station or take a taxi to Hong Men and climb from there. After all, it is the most classic route with the most scenic spots. The "Confucius Boarding Place" is there, and there are also many stone inscriptions along the way. If you go up the mountain from the Red Gate, you will pass Wanxianlou, Doumu Palace, Stone Valley (the place where the Tang Priest and his disciples basked in the scriptures mentioned in the Journey to the West), Zhongtianmen, Yunbuqiao, Wudaokou (Qin Shihuang had a strange dream after taking a nap under the tree), hope people loose, Shibapan, Nantianmen, Tianjie, Bi Xia Temple, Yuhuangding and other famous scenic spots. If you are young and strong, you can reach the top in four hours. It's easy to go down the mountain. You can take a cableway from Nantianmen to Zhongtianmen, and then take a bus from Zhongtianmen to Tianwai Village. The scenery along the way is also very impressive. In fact, walking down the mountain is very fast, much faster than going up the mountain. Four hours up the mountain and one and a half hours down the mountain are enough. When you come down from Mount Tai, you can go to Daimiao by bus or taxi.

As an Artest, I'll give you some useful suggestions:

1. Try not to shop, eat or stay near the station. Generally, there are many black shops and they are easy to be slaughtered. Things on Mount Tai are more expensive, so try not to eat or stay at the foot of the mountain or on the mountain. Shopping is ok, remember to bargain hard.

2. If you plan to watch the sunrise, you'd better look at the weather forecast in Tai 'an in advance, and then look at the weather forecast and humidity at the top of Mount Tai in the hotel when you arrive in Tai 'an (if the humidity is high, there will be clouds on the mountain, often sunny down the hill, raining halfway up the mountain and cloudy at the top of the mountain). You should start climbing from Hong Men at night 1 1. If you are in good health and can bear the load, you need to bring a thermos pot (it is cold on the mountain, so bring some hot water yourself), rain gear (the weather is changeable on the mountain), towel, coat, flashlight and wind oil essence (to repel mosquitoes). It is important to wear loose clothes and a pair of shoes that fit easily.
