Zhihu, what are the taboos for climbing Mount Tai?

Mount Tai is a famous scenic spot in China. Among the many famous mountains in China, although the elevation is not outstanding, the scenery is not as beautiful as Huangshan Mountain. But it was loved by many people in ancient times. Ancient emperors chose Mount Tai as a place to worship Zen, and even ancient literati preferred it. When Confucius climbed Mount Tai, he expressed the feeling that "Climbing Mount Tai made the world small", while Du Fu left a magnificent poem of "Climbing to the Top, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.". . There are many stone carvings left by ancient literati in Mount Tai, so there is no mountain in China that can compare with the historical and cultural heritage of Mount Tai.

As a historical, cultural and natural landscape, a scenic spot with double world heritage is now loved by many tourists, and Mount Tai is also listed as one of the must-see attractions for many tourists. Visitors who have been to Mount Tai know that many free travellers will choose to climb Mount Tai at night. In the process of climbing Mount Tai in the morning, we will meet many tourists who climb at night on the road and come down from the top of the mountain after watching the sunrise. It can be said that climbing Mount Tai at night has become a major feature of Mount Tai. But I still advise you not to climb Mount Tai at night for the following three reasons.

1, climbing Mount Tai at night will miss a lot of cultural scenery. Visitors who have been to Mount Tai have realized that the natural scenery of Mount Tai is not outstanding, but the magnificence of the northern mountains. The most important thing to visit Taishan is to feel the humanistic knowledge of Taishan stone carvings. Most tourists climb Mount Tai at night, starting from Hong Men, the most classic climbing route of Mount Tai, and the stone carvings of Mount Tai are basically on this route. This hiking route is very long, even if you choose this route to climb the mountain during the day, it will take four hours, let alone at night. So tourists who climb Mount Tai at night will feel very tired. After watching the sunrise, many people go down the mountain directly by cableway. Even if you follow the original road down the mountain, you won't be in the mood to appreciate the stone carvings and miss the historical and cultural attractions of Mount Tai.

2. Climbing Mount Tai at night has a bad view, which will increase the risk of injury. People who often climb wild mountains and hike know that there is a hidden rule in the outdoors, that is, never walk at night unless you have to. Mount Tai, as a mature scenic spot, although the infrastructure in the scenic spot is perfect and there are street lights on the climbing route at night, I still advise tourists not to climb at night. If you choose Red Gate to climb at night, it will take 5 to 6 hours to reach the peak, so many people choose to start climbing in the early morning. The period after midnight is the most sleepy time for us. Coupled with poor eyesight at night, people's reaction ability is relatively slow. In particular, 18 sets of Mount Tai, the steepest road section, are easy to fall and get injured with a little carelessness, which increases the risk probability.
