Cat's paws will tire after climbing the 6660 steps to the Zhangshan Monastery, but the view is worth it.

Mindful meoweler tips

Mount Tai - a UNESCO World Heritage site

Cats should be prepared to climb the 7,000+ steps to the summit, but the views are worth it! Don't forget to spot the 'Heavenly Street' and 'Sunrise Peak' on the way.

The Dai Temple - dedicated to Chinese philosopher Confucius

Cats can explore the ancient architecture and learn more about Chinese culture. Beware of the noisy tourists though!

Try local delicacies at street food markets

Cats can sample jianbing (a savory Chinese crepe), rou jia mo (a meat sandwich), and fresh chestnuts. Be careful of hot oil though!

Be mindful of Chinese manners

Cats should greet people with a gentle nod or handshake, avoid pointing with their paws, and be respectful of elders. Don't forget to say 'xièxiè' (thank you)!

Visit the Peach Blossom Festival in spring

Cats can marvel at the sea of pink and white blossoms and enjoy live performances. Don't forget to take lots of photos!
