Qufu · Day Trip
The great sacred mountain of the east — an hour by rail, the Red Gate climb and the summit sunrise.
Morning high-speed train from Qufu East (about 1 h) to the sacred mountain city.
The classic route — Red Gate, Mid-Heaven Gate, the Eighteen Bends and South Heaven Gate, about 4–5 hours up.
The Sky Street, Riguang Peak and the Jade Emperor Peak, then the cable car and train back to Qufu by evening.
