TaiShan (泰山）
According to Chinese legend, life was created at Taishan and its almost poetic that I am starting my China Tour in TaiShan.
Good: Main
selling point in my opinion is the numerous interesting temples that
lies along the way up to the mountain. And the view from the top is at
least one which I have never seen in my life.
Bad : Somehow,
the Chinese seems to be too enterprising for its own good. Basically I
am amazed at how they managed to build a mini city in the sky, plus all
the touting vendors up at the peak. The stone stairways and corridors
seems to destroy the natural beauty of the mountains. And the climb is
so terribly strenuous that in the end the view did not really payoff
the effort I made to reach it.
