The park is quite large. Entering from the east gate, you can take a shuttle bus up to the halfway point and walk down. The Buddha Palace and Buddha Pagoda are the main tourist attractions. The Buddha Palace is magnificent; you can visit the first floor first, then go to the underground palace, especially the fifth and fourth underground floors, which are well worth a visit. The Buddha Pagoda offers panoramic city views. Ticket prices are relatively high.
It was impressive. Although it's a man-made attraction, the price was a bit high. The most frustrating thing was that the route signs in the scenic area were too confusing and there were too few staff members, so we took a lot of wrong turns.

I recommend buying tickets in advance for better discounts. The experience was great; it looked crowded, but the crowd control was good. During the National Day holiday, there were NPC Q&A sessions. The beer samples were incredibly delicious!! I recommend going in.
Definitely worth visiting if you travel to Qingdao! The tour is quite fun. You get to learn about the history of the museum and also Qingdao itself.

A highly recommended attraction. The guide on the rowing boat was very detailed and engaging, explaining the origins of Yangzhou's Slender West Lake and allowing you to appreciate the scenery while learning about its history. The views along both banks were also beautiful, showcasing the picturesque beauty of Jiangnan.
This is a hidden gem of a guesthouse with incredibly attentive service. The room was clean, the decor and furniture were new, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. It's conveniently located, right on the street, and easy to find following the signs. It's also very close to Dongguan Street, making it easy to find places to eat.
The host's four cats are absolutely adorable… I forgot something on the day of my visit, and the owner quickly reminded me and helped me mail it. I would definitely choose this place again if I have the chance to visit Yangzhou again ദ്ദി˶•̀֊•́)✧

If you're not going to the Jufeng Scenic Area, you don't need to buy a combined ticket.
I stayed at a guesthouse in Qingliuhe Village and visited both Yangkou and Jufeng Scenic Areas over two days, both involving pure hiking uphill, which was really tiring for my legs.
Regarding the Jufeng Scenic Area, I don't exercise much, and it took me five and a half hours to get back to the cable car. The 40 yuan downhill cable car is definitely worth it; once you get down the Bagua Gate, you can't go down the steps anymore.
Autumn is a great time for hiking, and Laoshan Scenic Area is a fantastic destination.
There are plenty of parking lots near the scenic area, and parking is free.
The hike takes about an hour.
There are many guesthouses and restaurants around the scenic area.

Buying tickets through Ctrip was very convenient. When I went the next day, it happened to be during a primary and secondary school autumn outing. The entire zoo was full of primary and secondary school students. They were so cute, even cuter than the animals.
It's improved since I visited many years ago; the facilities and shops are more complete, the environment is better, and it's more interesting. However, it's just far too crowded; I didn't see many animals. I recommend visiting during off-peak hours.

Yuantouzhu truly deserves its reputation as a dazzling pearl on the shores of Taihu Lake. Its scenery combines natural beauty with cultural charm, captivating visitors and making them reluctant to leave. Yuantouzhu perfectly blends the natural beauty of Taihu Lake with its long history and culture. Every visitor can find their own tranquility and beauty, truly deserving of the title "the most beautiful place on Taihu Lake".
I went to Yuantouzhu without doing any research, and it was a wonderful surprise. I never expected to see so many seagulls. It wasn't too crowded on a weekday, and apart from waiting about 20 minutes for the return ferry, everything went smoothly.

We took the kids there over the weekend, and it was a lot of fun. Although the hotel is a bit old, it was still very clean. Our housekeeper, Ms. Wang Ying, contacted us in advance to decorate the room and prepare fruit and snacks. The kids were hungry in the evening, so each of them had a milk and biscuits – so thoughtful! Breakfast was very crowded… While the selection wasn't huge, the quality was decent; the noodles and donuts were delicious. I highly recommend this hotel; it's excellent.
I went on Friday, and it was packed with people. There were queues for almost every attraction. The facilities are outdated, but the dinosaur museum was quite nice and worth a visit. The dinosaur research center was closed for upgrades.

Family, you absolutely can't miss the Underwater World when you come to Qingdao, especially that nearly 100-meter-long underwater tunnel!
It's really amazing! Tickets are available now!
Here's a guide for you:

Ticket Purchase Guide
Tickets can be purchased in advance through the official WeChat account or major travel platforms.
A general admission ticket is 170 yuan, with student discounts available. There might be queues at the ticket counter, so buying in advance is much more convenient.
Itinerary
We recommend starting with the Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, where the colorful jellyfish under the lights create a dreamlike scene, perfect for taking photos. Next, head to the Seal Pavilion to see the adorable seals. Now for the highlights: the Marine Life Pavilion and Whale Pavilion have many precious specimens, where you can learn a lot about the ocean. Then, there's the incredible underwater tunnel! Stretching nearly 100 meters, walking in feels like being surrounded by fish from every angle, with sharks, turtles, and rays swimming right beside you—the feeling is indescribable. It's also a great place for taking photos; even a simple shot on the escalator has a great atmosphere.
Finally, head to the freshwater aquarium to see some unique freshwater creatures.
Show Times: Don't forget to check the times for the mermaid show and the shark and human show; they're spectacular. Arrive half an hour early to secure a good front-row seat.
Qingdao Underwater World is located on Laiyang Road in the south of the city, adjacent to Luxun Park, offering convenient transportation. The museum is divided into an intertidal zone, an underwater tunnel, and a ship cabin exhibit. The tunnel is 82 meters long, with moving walkways gently navigating the area. Manta rays, turtles, and sharks circling overhead create a striking visual experience. The Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, with its changing lights, creates a sense of immersion in the blue starry sky, perfect for photo ops. The shark-man dance and mermaid show are performed three times daily, with lively commentary that will keep children captivated. However, during National Day, crowds are high, and there are often three layers of mobile phones stacked against the glass, so avoid visiting during peak hours. Some tanks have scratches on the glass, which can be detrimental to the viewing experience. The export goods area is long, making it easy for children to cling to toys. Tickets are 170 yuan, and you can save 20 yuan by purchasing in advance on the official website. It's cheaper than Polar Ocean World, but the animal species are slightly smaller. It's recommended to enter at 9:00 AM, right when the gates open, to experience the tunnel first and then the show, which takes two hours. Overall, the museum has a 4-star rating and is suitable for families and couples. Remember to bring a jacket, as the temperature inside the museum is a constant 22°C.

Ocean Park is amazing! The marine life is lively and adorable, the dolphin show is spectacular, the immersive underwater tunnel experience is fantastic, the environment is clean and the service is attentive. Adults and children alike had a blast, and it's definitely worth visiting again and again!
The marine world is truly breathtaking! Schools of colorful fish dart freely in the crystal-clear water, as if you've entered a dreamlike blue planet. The dolphin show is lively and adorable, displaying perfect chemistry with its trainers, drawing cheers from the audience. Strolling through the underwater tunnel, sharks and turtles swim gracefully overhead; the awe and emotion of that moment are indescribable. This is not only a paradise for children but also awakens a sense of awe and love for nature in adults. Highly recommended for anyone eager to explore the mysteries of the ocean!

The Temple of Confucius, as the material embodiment of Confucian thought, not only bears witness to the profound shaping of the Chinese nation by Confucian culture, but also reflects its inclusiveness that transcends racial boundaries, enabling Chinese civilization to continue and develop.
Truly awe-inspiring!
Met a beautiful woman while getting my ticket checked—refreshing and efficient.
As expected of a top-ranked hotel on Ctrip, this hotel was the perfect choice for a family trip with our elders. From the ambiance to the service and dining, everything exceeded our expectations – a 10/10! Built by the lake, the hotel exudes the unique elegance of Jiangnan. Opening the window reveals shimmering lake views, and a gentle breeze carries the fresh scent of water. The grounds are dotted with pavilions and terraces, winding paths through lush greenery, and wide, smooth walkways with plenty of wooden benches, making leisurely strolls and sightseeing effortless for our elders. The tranquil atmosphere, away from the city's hustle and bustle, ensured our elders slept soundly every night. The rooms were excellently soundproofed, with warm, soft lighting that wasn't glaring. The furniture had rounded edges, and the bathroom thoughtfully included a non-slip mat, a bath stool, and safety handrails. The vanity height was also adjusted for our elders – these age-friendly details ensured their safety. The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of fresh, odorless ingredients with mild seasonings, perfect for our elders' palates. The buffet dinner featured local lake delicacies and authentic Hangzhou cuisine, with a diverse selection of seafood, grilled meats, and desserts. The ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The dining environment was elegant and quiet, with spacious tables that allowed seniors to move around easily. The staff promptly refilled tea and changed plates, making the experience effortless. Special praise goes to Ms. Xu, the Guest Relations Manager, who arranged a room on a lower floor near the elevator before check-in. As a benchmark hotel in Zhejiang, the Xizi Hotel perfectly met all the needs of traveling with elderly guests, thanks to its lake views, age-friendly details, high-quality food, and attentive service. Ms. Xu's professionalism and dedication made this trip to Jiangnan exceptionally comfortable and smooth.
