I'm not afraid of trouble, I'll do you a favor and make a friend.
1. The weather has been pretty good lately, sometimes it rains, but mostly sunny, good for hiking or traveling
2. It shouldn't be raining too much over in the northeast, so I guess you'll be safer if you take the train to Taishan, the train's safety factor is not a problem.

3. Get off the train at Taishan Station (note: not Taian Station) in Tai'an City, Shandong Province, in front of Jinan Station, right?
4. To bring a change of clothes, bring enough money, have a hobby of photography and photography with equipment, souvenirs, if the sunrise has some significance, but it is best to look for those stalls of the photo, spend some money. Because the general uneasy filter, then the effect is very poor! Other things this side can buy, if you are not afraid of tired mountaineering if you bring a backpack, when climbing the mountain put water and food.
5. Because it is the peak season, Mount Tai tickets are now 125, with your own student ID is half price 60 plus 1 yuan (or 2 yuan I can not remember) insurance. It is recommended to start hiking from the red gate, because that is the most classic route of Taishan. The scenery along the way is okay. The ropeway is 45 a piece, no half price. Mount Tai on a **** should be two ropeways, one is from the door directly to the South Heavenly Gate, the other is the Peach Blossom Yu side of the (this from the climb on the mountain can not sit). Sit or not sit depends on the physical strength. I didn't go to any of the other small attractions, so the entrance fee is just this much, not much. The key is other things like accommodation at the top of the mountain, eat, take pictures of what cost a lot of money.
6. The speed of the average person, about 6 hours from the red door to the South Heavenly Gates, do not go in detail, in fact, depending on your own interest in which, like to see what look at what, do not look at anything, that waste of time and also waste of physical strength!
Other about you to Tai'an can first not go to Mount Tai, experience the local customs, taste the famous snacks, and stroll around the street what all, you can get off the train to live a little, find a suitable hotel, and then understand the surrounding terrain, familiar with the familiar weather, feel the route to Mount Tai and so on. Of course you want to know more I can also tell you, time is limited, I do not say too much here.
I can also recommend a few good hotels and snacks for reference!
After going to Taishan you can go to Shandong Yishui underground gallery and underground Grand Canyon, which has rafting and caves and whatnot, also quite GOOD, national AAAA level scenic area (Taishan is AAAAA) to see if you are interested in, want to go if it's not very simple, but from Taishan is quite close, 3 hours of driving it. I also know the route, let me know if you want. Anyway, be sure to bring enough money!
