Climbing a mountain for an hour can consume 600 calories. Generally, people who often climb mountains need four or five hours to arrive, so they should be fully prepared. People with poor physical strength or who have never walked the mountain road need 7 or 8 hours to reach the top of the mountain.
Mount Tai, also known as Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue and Taiyue, is one of the five mountains. Located in the middle of Shandong Province, it spans Tai 'an, Jinan and Zibo with a total area of 24,200 hectares. Jade Emperor Peak, the main peak, is 1, 532.7 meters above sea level. Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as a paradise "directly to the throne" and became a sacred mountain worshipped by the people and emperors. There is a saying that "Mount Tai is safe and the world is safe". From Qin Shihuang to Qing Dynasty, 13 emperors went to Mount Tai for meditation or sacrifice, and 24 emperors sent officials to sacrifice 72 times. There are more than 20 ancient buildings and more than 2,200 stone tablets on the mountain.
