Climbing Mount Tarzan to eat pancakes is perfect! An ordinary pancake on the top of Mount Tai sells for 15 yuan a piece! Much more expensive than down the hill. But most tourists say: not expensive! And good value for the money. Why?
Speaking of Shandong Taishan, what are the specialties? It is estimated that the first thing that many people think of is Tarzan pancakes! Climbing from the Dai Temple to the top of the Jade Emperor, it is said that there are 6666 steps. Climbing to the top of the mountain was cold and tired, and my eyes were hungry!
At this time, if you can hold a hot pancake that has just come out, wrap it in shallots, sauce, ham sausage, crouch on the top of the mountain and blow the cool breeze, eat pancakes, and look at the scenery... It's even more enjoyable than eating "Full Han Full Table"!
Tarzan pancakes are small, but they are very large! It is said that the famous Shandong pancakes originated in Taishan at the earliest, and have a history of more than 1,000 years, and are listed as the first intangible cultural heritage of Taishan City.
There is a saying in Shandong: "Pancake roll everything". It is said that all Shandong women will use "tweezers" to make pancakes, and they are also very round. Using the local spring water and noodles of Taishan and rolling up the locally grown shallots, it is the most authentic Taishan pancake.
It is worth mentioning that the pancakes on the top of Mount Tai are about 15 yuan a piece, and even ordinary mineral water and old Beijing popsicles are much more expensive than those sold under the mountain! But most tourists still find it good value for money and not expensive at all.
I think: first, it is probably because everyone is very tired from climbing the mountain, their stomachs are very hungry, and they feel delicious and delicious; second, they see countless sweaty "mountain pickers" on the way to the mountain, and naturally experience the hardships of "hard work". Every labor and effort deserves to be understood and respected.
Interestingly, it is said that because they often eat hard pancakes and especially exercise the chewing muscles of the face, most of the girls and boys in Shandong are boxy "National Character Faces"! Look at the face shape of the Shandong friends around you, do you think this statement makes sense?
