Hidden Gems of Mount Tai | Secret Spots Known Only to Locals

Local Treasure! The Hidden Jiuzhaigou at the Foot of Mount Tai—A Guide to Hiking in Caishi Creek 📍 Location: Inside the Peach Blossom Valley Scenic Area of Mount Tai 🚗 Transportation: 30-minute taxi ride from Tai'an city center / Self-driving directly to the parking lot 🎫 Tickets: Free (Included in the Mount Tai Scenic Area ticket priced at 115 RMB, advance booking required) 🌟 Must-Visit Highlights 1️⃣ 2.8 Billion-Year Geological Wonder The creek bed is adorned with colorful rocks resembling a spilled palette, and the "Five Generations Together" rock layers tell the story of Earth's evolution! If you're lucky, you might catch the enchanting sight of "fish playing among colorful stones" as red-scaled fish dart between the rocks. 2️⃣ Springtime Exclusive Romance In April, Peach Blossom Valley transforms into a "Ten-Mile Peach Forest," with pink and white petals drifting into the stream. The atmosphere is heightened by Flower Goddess parades and Hanfu photography contests, perfect for capturing stunning ancient-style photos. 3️⃣ Off-the-Beaten-Path Hiking Route Recommended route: Peach Blossom Valley entrance → Caishi Garden → Long Bay → Peach Blossom Source. This 12-kilometer wooden walkway offers fewer crowds and breathtaking views! Along the way, you'll find the Red-Scaled Fish Museum and geological science boards, making it an educational trip for kids too. 4️⃣ Hidden Viewing Spots • Yuanbao Rock: A giant rock shaped like a gold ingot, perfect for photos with Golden Rooster Ridge! • Pegasus Pool: A natural "Pegasus" pattern formed in the creek—be sure to find the right angle for a close-up shot! ⚠️ Important Tips ❗️ April is rainy; wear non-slip shoes! Be cautious as the wooden walkway can be slippery. ❗️ Red-scaled fish are protected animals; fishing or feeding is prohibited. ❗️ No dining options within the scenic area; bring your own food and water.
