Best Time to Visit Taishan Mountain
High season is from May to October when the weather is warmest with spring and autumn being the busiest – especially during the national holidays. During the off-season things will be more relaxed and the skies are clearer, but you'll be digging into your backpack for more layers. Wool sweaters, socks, hats and windbreakers will prove a godsend in this heavenly venue as the weather can change rapidly – and being so close to heaven, the summit is quite chilly.
What to Pack
Carry lots of layers, a flashlight, a small first aid kit, a pocket knife, lots of snacks and a pack of disposable wipes for dirty hands and tables.
If you're lucky you might be able to catch a reenactment of the ancient and elaborate ceremonial offerings to Heaven and Earth. |
