Favorite thing: Here's a picture of me (front row, far left) with a bunch of American students I met on the way up to the South Gate to Heaven. It was good to meet them and chat with them as I was climbing on my own and it helped having them to talk to whilst taking your mind off climbing up. I think it's wise to try and climb with someone else instead of doing it by yourself.

Favorite thing: Tai'An is the town located at the foot of Tai Shan. If you take a train like I did, you would probably got off the train at Tai'An train station. From there, walk to the bus stop and get bus no.3 to the foot of Tai Shan.
Tai'An has nothing much to offer travelers. The only one attraction in Tai'An is "Dai Miao Temple'. It is located almost at the center of the town and surrounded by tall city wall. In the ancient time, all emperors will start their journey to Tai Shan by having a praying ceremony in Dai Miao Temple first.

Favorite thing: On the way up or down at TaiShan, you will come across these porters who carry heavy items to the top of Tai Shan. These 8 strong men were trying to haul a praying table to the mountain. It must be super heavy!

Fondest memory: We're lucky we saw this, as it just rained the day before, and in fact it still felt cloudy and misty when we climbed up.

Fondest memory: Sunset is much easier to catch than sunrise. No waking up early!
