If it's your first time in Tai'an, open the city the way locals do: start at Red Gate on the Central Route at dawn, climb step by step to the summit of Mount Tai, and watch the sea of clouds roll in at South Gate of Heaven; in the afternoon, step into Dai Temple to touch 2,000-year-old cypresses and steles; when night falls, the Fengshan Grand Ceremony lights up the valley. Three days and two nights to collect Tai'an's most iconic sights at once.
