Taishan Night Climb Tested! These Hidden Tips Make Bringing Kids Ten Times Easier​

Successfully unlocked the Taishan night climb with a 6-year-old! Compiled an exclusive parent-child guide, the little one walked the entire way by themselves, sharing super practical and thoughtful advice~ 👶 Double the parent-child time ✅ Reserve 7-8 hours for the child to climb, walking and playing makes it easier ✅ Starting the climb at 8 PM is best! We left at 10 PM, a bit rushed, but luckily the kid slept halfway ✅ Bring a thin down jacket for the kid! The wind is very strong waiting for the sunrise at the summit, warm patches on the back are very effective 🎒 Hidden skills for children's luggage The middle locker at the train station can fit a child's suitcase plus mom’s bag! Bring a folding stool for the kid (15 yuan at the foot of the mountain), unfold it to sit during breaks, much more comfortable than stone steps 🍼 Smart food arrangements for kids Thermos with hot water! Buy corn/sweet potatoes (5 yuan) along the way, kids love them. There’s hot porridge for 10 yuan at Zhongtianmen to warm the stomach, and tomato egg noodles for 25 yuan before Shibapan with a big portion, so the kid can eat well before the final push 🚸 Optimized parent-child route ✅ Let the kid play for half an hour at Zhongtianmen, buy a glowing wristband (5 yuan) to use as a hiking stick, super fun ✅ Nantianmen children’s rest lounge is 30 yuan per person, with heating! But you have to carry the kid to the sunrise spot by 4 AM ✅ Secret spot: 20 meters to the right of the Yuhuangding restroom is a small platform, the kid can sit on the suitcase with an unobstructed view 🐾 Parent-child version of the descent plan Decisively skip the cable car queue! Walking down to Zhongtianmen with the kid takes only 1.5 hours (at a slow pace), the bus is 40 yuan with half price for kids, the kid slept the whole way down without fussing ✨ Must-have gear for bringing kids Folding stool + flashlight headlamp + child harness! Rent a military coat at the summit (30 yuan) to wrap the kid in your arms. After descending, head straight to Wanda Baby King, 50 yuan for 2 hours of play to burn off energy successfully Seeing the kid point at the sea of clouds and shout "Sun, wake up!" in that moment, all the hard work was worth it! Save this exclusive guide, your little one can also become a little mountain climbing warrior⛰️
