In front of the red gate, there are small stalls on both sides.

All kinds of mountaineering supplies are available.

Just as he was about to walk inside, an old lady suddenly stopped Lu Ke and sold him a bundle of trekking poles in her hand.

It is said to be a trekking pole, but in fact it is a straight and hard bamboo pole cut to about the same length, and the price is very cheap, five yuan.

Looking at the old man's aged figure and rickety waist, although Lu Ke felt that such things as trekking poles were dispensable, he still bought one.

The old man smiled happily after seeing Lu Ke scan the code, picked a bamboo pole and wiped it clean from beginning to end before handing it to Lu Ke.

However, Lu Ke never heard the prompt sound of "five yuan in the account" from the old man, so he made sure that his money had indeed been paid.

Putting the trekking pole on his mobile phone, Lu Ke walked towards the gate of the scenic spot.

Although it is not a holiday with a large number of tourists, there is still a long queue when buying tickets.

After paying the money and buying the tickets, Lu Ke walked along the line to the gate.

On both sides are many reminders to strictly prohibit high incense and beware of mountain fires.

Lu Ke really saw a lot of Gao Xiang who was stopped and confiscated.

This incense is really outrageous!

The longest was more than three meters long, thicker than Lu Ke's arm, and he leaned against the wall and posed in a pile.

"Good guy, it seems that the gods on the mountain are not small." Lu Ke was speechless for a while.

didn't choose to take the car directly to Zhongtianmen, it's not that he is reluctant to pay for the ticket, it's just that Lu Ke wants to try how difficult it is for this person to suffer Taishan.

Although it was night, there were really a lot of people going up the mountain, but most of them were in groups of three or five, and there were not too many people like Lu Ke who were alone.

At first, the ascent was very gentle, but when it came to the Zhongtian Gate, it was more like a leisurely walk to climb the mountain.

Start from the Red Gate all the way to Zhongtian Gate.

Rao is Lu Ke, whose physical fitness is very average, also walked down smoothly.

Just as Lu Ke continued to march upward with the idea of "this Taishan is nothing more than that", he finally encountered difficulties.

This section of the road from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen reflects some of the charm of Mount Tai.

Since it was a night climb, Lu Ke simply gave up watching the surrounding scenery along the way.

One is that the big night is not very real.

The second is that it is a cultural landscape such as stone tablets and stone carvings, and there is no certain knowledge base, and it is just a lively sight.

There is no resonance without background in the brain, at most it is to take a photo and send it to the circle of friends.

After walking up from Zhongtianmen for more than half an hour, Lu Ke had to stop and rest.

Although he had slowed down a bit, his body was indeed weak.

And the most important thing about mountaineering is not to squander your physical strength too much in the early stages.

Once the body is overdrawn, it is difficult to recover even if you rest.

In other words, it's easy to drop the upper limit of the stamina bar.

He put the bamboo pole on his side, sat on the stone by the side of the road and drank a few sips of water, watching the shadow of tourists walk in front of him from time to time.

Although it was lively, Lu Ke's heart was extraordinarily calm.

After resting almost, he walked back to the mountain.

From time to time, you can come across stalls selling various items along the way.

Watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, mineral water, drinks.

It's just that as Lu Ke goes higher, the price of this item also rises.

The two-dollar bottle of mineral water has been sold for five yuan.

After walking up for a while, he finished drinking the bottle of water he had brought.

Lu Ke reluctantly walked to the stall on the side.

The mineral water here suddenly became three pieces.

It's only one piece more expensive than the bottom of the mountain.

Lu Ke understood that it was not far from Nantianmen.

Looking at the time, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning.

Lu Ke had already spent six hours in the mountains.

Thinking about the online guide, it usually only takes about six hours to reach the top, and Lu Ke has not yet reached Nantianmen.

Sure enough, it was correct to set off in advance, and Lu Ke had a good understanding of his "unusual".

After walking for more than ten minutes, Lu Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Why is this road, all the special steps have to be paved on my face?"

Bowing your head is a step, looking up is also a step, and looking up is still a special step.

Looking up higher, Lu Ke saw a small stone gate, less than two meters wide and more than two meters high, placed in the middle of the mountain road.

There seem to be words on it.

When he finally got closer, Lu Ke took out his mobile phone and turned on the flash to see that there were three big red characters on the stone door - Sheng Xianfang.

Looking up through the Shimen Lu Branch, which stood in the middle of the road.

Yes, just this way, I'm afraid I can really ascend to immortals.

In front of us is the biggest challenge of the trip to Mount Tai.

After that, hundreds of stone steps are closely connected and straight up.

Lu Ke followed the faint light of his predecessors in the darkness, and could see the pavilions on the mountain.

It's just that the road in front of me is really a little scary.

The road is no longer like the previous mountain road, spiraling up with steep and slow times.

There is nothing else going up from Shengxian Fang, it is just a step, a step close to a forty-five degree angle all the way up.

It seems to imply the ascension of immortals.

It's just that Taishan, who suddenly straightened up, really suffered a weak chicken like Lu Ke.

From Shengxian Fang to Nantianmen, there are a total of 478 steps, the distance is 140 meters, and the altitude climbs 90 meters.

Lu Ke, who is not very good at mathematics, does not know much about the Pythagorean theorem, but it does not prevent him from intuitively feeling the horror of this road - a few meters in front of him, a girl in a cotton jacket is shrinking in her boyfriend's arms and crying loudly.

Apparently not cold.

He smiled bitterly, feeling his legs, which were already a little weak, becoming softer because of fear.

Lu Ke took two deep breaths and gritted his teeth to push it up.

After walking out of the one hundred and eighty sections, Lu Ke sat on the stone steps.

This world will not love anymore.

There are still a large number of refugees sitting on the ground like Lu Ke, and even when Lu Ke walked up, he found that both sides of the stone steps were already full of people, and only a few people-wide empty seats were left in the middle for the ruthless people to go up the mountain.

While soothing his restless and trembling legs, Lu Ke watched from time to time as one or two ruthless people walked the entire mountain road and boarded the Nantian Gate in one breath.

Each step is very short, and it is not easy to find a comfortable place to sit.

Lu Ke, who was stretching his half-ass, rested for a while, and then continued to move forward.

By this time, the old man who sold his trekking poles had become a savior in Lu Ke's heart.

If it weren't for the fact that this trekking pole gave Lu Ke a way to use his hands to borrow strength, Lu Ke would really have to try the method of climbing on all fours.

Maybe someone will take a picture and post it on the Internet.

[Shocked, there are tourists who open the dragon's spine on the stone steps of Mount Tai! 】

Dozens of knots later, Lu Ke stopped again.

He's in a wonderful state right now.

It doesn't take three to five minutes to sit down and rest, and my legs don't feel tired at all.

But as soon as you get up, it doesn't take a few steps, and your legs will tremble.

More than 400 steps took Lu Ke more than half an hour.

When he finally climbed the Nantian Gate, Lu Ke was like a world away.

There are more shops on the Nantian Gate, and the whole is much more lively than on the mountain road.

After all, it is a location that can be reached directly by cable car.

The lights are bright and the materials are abundant.

There is a hotel with a restaurant.

By this point, the temperature had become colder.

Relying on climbing all the way up the mountain to get exercise, he didn't feel much at first, but after sitting on the Nantianmen for a while, Lu Ke had to rent a military coat.

There is no time limit for 50 yuan per piece, but a deposit of 100 yuan is required.

Lu Ke paid the money and wrapped himself in clothes.

I don't know how many years of clothes have been circulating here, and I guess I haven't washed them, but as soon as I put them on, I can smell the smell on my face.

It was sour, Lu Ke could only say that fortunately, his nose was not too sensitive.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Lu Ke didn't stay at Nantianmen for long, and prepared to continue up the mountain.
