Scaling the Tai Mountains

Cable car ride

Walking up to the peak

Locks of prosperity and love

We didn't trek up the Tai Mountains. We actually took a cable car up there. The peak is 1532.8m high. We were lucky as the weather that day was fine and it was not really that cold. I didn't know the Tai Mountain that I'm visiting is actually the mountain that is related to these 2 famous Chinese proverbs 有眼不识泰山  and 稳如泰山.

I've always enjoy trekking but it's a pity this time round we can't trek as I was bringing a lot of students who are not familiar with trekking. Nonetheless, it was a good trip up. Up in the mountains there were some interesting sites such as the temples the emperor used to pray in the past and the heavenly street. Heavenly street is actually a street up in the mountains rumoured to be the road that led the celestial deities to the heaven.
