There is no so-called best, only what is most suitable for you. Taishan has its own characteristics throughout the year. For different people, there will be different "best travel times".

Summer is a rainy season, and so is Mount Tai. If the weather clears up after the rain in Mount Tai, you can see the spectacular sight of rainbow clouds in the sky and waves of clouds below your feet. But this is more difficult, because many people may choose to give up climbing when it rains, so only a few people can see the most beautiful scenery.

The average temperature in spring and autumn is around 10 degrees, which is relatively pleasant. However, the wind and sand are stronger in spring, so autumn is more suitable to go to Mount Tai than spring. In addition, there are relatively few winds and rains in autumn, and there are no clouds in the sky. It is the golden season for mountain climbing to watch the sunrise. At this time, many people may choose to travel on the National Day, but there are too many people on the National Day. Even watching the sun is not much fun. You can only see endless heads of people.

In winter, the weather is relatively cold, but there are more opportunities for sunrise at this time. If you arrive when it snows, the scenery will be even more amazing.
