Reviews & Amenities
Top Descriptions
| Not far from Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius, Tai’an is a fairly unassuming city in central Shandong province. In fact, if it weren’t for one attraction in particular, most tourists would probably just pass on through, either north to Beijing, south to Nanjing or east to Qingdao. But that attraction – Mount Tai (Taishan) – is one of the holiest of such mountains in China. It is a place of continual pilgrimage, and a worthy attraction for any tourist. Otherwise, expect a mid-level city that’s a little more attractive than most thanks to its mountainous backdrop, but just as difficult to get about if you don’t speak the language. |

Top Tips
| You’re probably visiting to climb Mount Tai (Taishan). Consider doing the Tai'an to Taishan Summit Hike. Even in the winter, this hike is doable – perhaps prettier in fact. |
