If you are deciding to climb the Tai Shan Mountain, strongly advise you to bring water and buy a cane. They sell them everywhere. Pack light snacks and writing material. Be advised it is a long and treacherous journey to the top. You can also rent a long greem army jacket a little over halfway up. The temperature really drops at night. If you have a light wind breaker is much better. Wear good climbing shoes. They are steps made of stone. Not exactly perfect like in your home.
