| Heavenly Street (tianjie), once perhaps named for its wealth of historical and religious treasures, is today something of a tourist trap. This Disney- style area is where you can pick up t-shirts, souvenirs and other Taishan memorabilia and also have a break and something to eat in one of the restaurants on the street. Given the bad weather conditions that typically prevail up here, and the fact that the goods for sale all have to be carted miles up this steep mountain, the street is a reflection of just how important tourism and all that it symbolizes is to locals around these parts. |
