1) 岱宗坊-红门线登山起点

Tai Mount Archway, start point of the Red Gate Route to the summit of Mount Tai

 

登临泰山有四条游览线路：

红门游览线(徒步)：最经典，以人文景观为主

天外村游览线：最省时，先坐车到中天门，然后可坐缆车

桃花峪游览线：最便捷，全线可坐车游览

天烛胜境游览线(徒步)：最绿色，以自然景观为主

there are 4 routes to the summit of Mount Tai: 2 by foot and 2 by car or cable

 

这次上山经红门游览线，下山取道天烛峰景区。

四条登山线，俺已尝试了三条，还有一条桃花峪留着来年再游...

this time, I took the 2 routes by foot and among the 4 routes, I have tried 3 already, for the last route I will leave it for the coming years ...

 

红门游览线登山由此开始。red gate route starts from Tai Mount Archway

 

早上7点多钟出发，不紧不慢，10点钟左右到达中天门，到达南天门的时间是下午1点半左右。

start about 7.00 am, have a stop now and then for shooting and eating or drinking, arriving the Midway to Heaven about 10.00 am and it was almost 2.00 pm when arriving at South Gate to Heaven

 

俺的计步器记录（到达山顶酒店时的数据）为22377步，10.416英哩，16.782公里，1246.9卡

（速度较慢，有行李，负重上山）

readings on my pedometer: 22377 steps,10.416 miles, 16.782 km, 1246.9 cals

(quite slow since i was heavily loaded with my luggage)
