Tai'an has combined its premium cultural and tourism resources to offer new experiences and leisure offerings. For the upcoming May Day holiday, the city has introduced 46 tourism activities and special offers, aiming to boost consumption and provide memorable experiences for both locals and visitors.

Activities include intangible cultural heritage shows, hanfu parades, folk interactive events, and music parties, with discounts available on scenic admissions, hotel benefits, and shopping deals.

During the holiday, visitors can immerse themselves in diverse cultural experiences, enjoy savings, explore Tai'an's natural beauty, discover its profound history, and feel the local flavor—all while experiencing the unique charm of "peace and prosperity under Taishan Mountain".

Taishan Mountain, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, is celebrating spring with its annual crabapple blossom festival. The mountain is covered in pink-and-white crabapple flowers, creating a dreamy scene where blossoms bloom in the clouds.

The festival blends nature with traditional culture by integrating hanfu, poetry, and photography into a series of immersive activities. A key initiative includes recruiting 100 hanfu enthusiasts for a free guided tour on May 10, offering selected participants complimentary entry and cable car rides.

For Taishan Mountain ticketing, a real-name reservation system is in place. Visitors can book tickets up to seven days in advance via the official "china-taishan" WeChat public account or through Taishan Mountain's official accounts on e-commerce platforms such as Meituan, Douyin, Ctrip, and Tongcheng. Travel agencies should use the group booking section on the Taishan Mountain official website. Those planning multiple entries within three days need to make a new reservation for free re-entry.

Come discover the breathtaking beauty of Taishan Mountain's crabapple season and experience Chinese traditions in full bloom!
