At 3:00 p.m. on the 36th day of spring tour, after touring Daming Lake, drive away from Jinan, go up the ring expressway in the south of Jinan, then take the Beijing Taiwan Expressway to the west of Tai'an, drive 90km, stay in Wanchao Intercontinental Hotel of Taishan (stay for 2 days, exchange Ctrip points), and visit Taishan all day the next day.

Mount Tai is located in the middle of Tai'an City, Shandong Province. It stretches more than 200 kilometers from west to east along the South Bank of the Yellow River. The main peak, Yuhuangding, is 1545 meters above sea level, enjoying the reputation of "the first of the five mountains" and "the first mountain in the world"; Mount Tai has a long history and many cultural relics. It is the place of worshiping heaven and worshiping Zen for Chinese emperors and the spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation. It is listed as one of the first batch of 5A scenic spots in China by UNESCO's "natural and cultural heritage".

At 8:30 in the morning, we drive 5 kilometers from the hotel to Tiandi square of tianwai village. We buy tickets of 62 yuan (half price for the elderly), and another ticket of scenic spot (30 yuan for one way). We take the scenic spot bus to Zhongtianmen, then take the cableway to Nantianmen (100 yuan for one way up), and then walk up the mountain to visit Yuhuangding. Along the way, we also visited Tianjie, Bixia temple, dongshenmen, weileixuan, gongbeishi, etc.

After visiting Yuhuangding, walk from Shibapan to Zhongtianmen, and return to tianwai village by scenic bus.

Leave the scenic area at 5 p.m. and drive back to the hotel. The charge of Taishan parking lot is a little expensive. It's 8 yuan per hour. We spent 64 yuan on parking.
