Finally punched in the red door of Taishan, it is really an unforgettable travel experience, you must share it with everyone. The historical and cultural atmosphere is strong. The red door is the beginning of the classic hiking route of Taishan Middle Road, with a deep historical and cultural heritage. From the moment you step into the red door, it seems to have traveled back to ancient times. The ancient buildings such as Guandi Temple and Wanxian Building along the way are scattered and carrying the traces of the years. Every stone monument and every carving are telling the story of the past, which makes people sigh the wisdom and skills of the ancients. Here, you can deeply feel the footprints and feelings of emperors and literati Moke on Mount Tai since Qin and Han Dynasty. It is really a wonderful journey of dialogue with history. The natural scenery is beautiful. The red door is beautiful along the way to the top of the mountain. The mountains are densely vegetation, the trees are lush, and the sun shines through the gap of the leaves, forming a patch of light, as if in a fairy tale world. The clear streams are flowing in the mountains, and the sound of the streams is crisp and pleasant, adding a spiritual beauty to the whole mountaineering process. And as the altitude rises, you can enjoy the mountain view from different angles, from the beauty of the foot of the mountain to the majesty of the mountain top, every place is intoxicating. The mountaineering experience is excellent. For those who like to challenge themselves, climbing from Red Gate is a great choice. The whole journey is9.5 kilometers, 7863 steps, although the process is full of hardships, but when you step by step to the top of the mountain, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable in words. On the way to the mountain, you can also see many mountain pickers, and their tenacity has also given me a lot of encouragement. If you have limited physical strength, you can also choose to take a sightseeing bus to Zhongtianmen, and then continue to walk or transfer to the ropeway, which can save energy and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Complete supporting facilities The supporting facilities around the Red Gate are very complete, and the visitor center provides a variety of intimate services, including consultation, storage, etc. There are commissaries and supply points every short distance on the mountain road, which can be easily purchased for water, food and other necessities. There are also many toilets. Although the sanitary condition of some toilets needs to be improved, they can basically meet the needs of tourists. In addition, the transportation near the Red Gate is convenient, whether it is by bus or taxi, it is very convenient. In general, Taishan Red Gate is a great tourist attraction integrating history and culture, natural scenery and mountaineering experience. I highly recommend everyone to come here to feel the charm of Taishan, I believe you will definitely be worthwhile!
Enter the Taishan Scenic Area from the entrance of Tianwai Village. There is no ticket gate. Check the ticket directly at the bus, even with the gate + ticket. It takes about 20 minutes to reach Zhongtianmen. Tucao is at the entrance of Tianwai Village. There are too few places for private cars to park, most of them are fenced.

I went there on Saturday morning, because the primary and secondary schools were not on holiday yet, so there were not many people. There are the original beer-making process, as well as the current fully automatic beer production process equipment. During the visit, beer will be given away at two places. At the end of the visit, there will be various special beers and beer beans and other items related to Tsingtao Beer for purchase. You can learn about the development history of Tsingtao Beer and the production tools, which is quite interesting. The visit takes about one to two hours.
Great, second visit to Qingdao, parked the car underground, came up from underground, walked a few steps, only paid for my own tickets, those who are old enough are free, and asked for explanations. Not bad, not bad. You need enough tickets to go to AB Hall, but not inside the courtyard. The courtyard landscape is very good, you can take pictures.
Everyone who tasted the beer said it was delicious, but I didn't drink it because I had to drive. I bought a box of high-end,

After three visits to the Three Confucian Temples, I felt that I had gained a lot. Therefore, I strongly recommend following a tour guide to visit the Three Confucian Temples (especially if you are with children). Otherwise, you will just wander around aimlessly for a long time (unless the parents are also very good at talking), and you won’t know what you are doing. Thanks to the tour guide sister for taking us to touch history and travel through the era of saints
Very beautiful, magnificent, worth a visit! Recommend everyone to go... There are a lot of meals inside to meet various needs! The scenic traffic car is also good! The elderly and children are not tired when traveling, and they have learned a lot of knowledge!

There are also military theme cultural and creative gadgets. It is very attractive. I like to sit on the deck and blow the sea breeze. Then I watch the fireworks at night!

🌊 Lianyungang Liandao, a spontaneous trip🏖️
✨Hello everyone! I am your little cutie. Today I am here to introduce you to our beautiful Lianyungang Liandao! 🌈
.
🎉As an inland person, I have always been yearning for the sea. This time I finally had the opportunity to come to the beautiful coastal city of Lianyungang. How could I miss Liandao? So, our family of three embarked on this spontaneous trip!
.
🌅We set off at around 8 o'clock in the morning, and after a 2-hour drive, we finally arrived at Lianyungang Liandao Scenic Area. As soon as we entered the scenic area, we were deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of us. The blue sky and white clouds, the rippling blue waves, the sea and the sky are one color, as if we were in a beautiful painting.
.
🚢We couldn't wait to rent a small boat and go out to sea. It was really very comfortable and relaxing to ripple on the sea, feel the breeze, and listen to the sound of the waves hitting the hull. Moreover, we also saw beautiful seagulls on the sea!
.
🏝There are many attractions on the island worth visiting, such as Suma Bay, Jinyu Bay, Wushizi, etc. Among them, Suma Bay is the most beautiful one. There are long sandy beaches, clear waters, mysterious ancient battlefield sites, and beautiful sunsets to enjoy. We played on the beach, picked up shells, and watched seagulls. We had a great time.
.
🍽️Of course, how can a trip be without food? In Lianyungang Liandao, we tasted the local seafood feast, which was really delicious. Especially the fresh seafood pancakes and grilled oysters, which were simply delicious!
.
🌙When night fell, we sat on the beach, watching the beautiful sunset and feeling the breeze of the sea. It was really an indescribable enjoyment.
.
💖This trip to Lianyungang Liandao was really enjoyable. Not only did we enjoy the beautiful sea view, but we also tasted the local food and spent an unforgettable holiday. If you also like the sea, then you must not miss Lianyungang Liandao!

📍Tuishan Han Tomb
Known as the Oriental Pyramid and the real version of Tomb Robbers' Notes, the Guishan Han Tomb is truly a place where you can feel the wisdom of the ancients!
🕋Built in 127 BC, the horizontal cave cliff-style tomb is built on the mountain and was excavated by hand. It took 13 years to complete. It is the tomb of Liu Zhu, the sixth king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty. The corridor is 56 meters long and has a total area of more than 700 square meters. There are 15 tombs in total. According to the living conditions of the King of Chu, the front hall, armory, stables, music and dance hall, washroom, and carriage and horse warehouse are all available.
🎭The front hall of the King of Chu is located in the center of the entire tomb. It adopts a pillar structure, and the central stone pillar is exactly on the central axis of the north-south corridor. There is a shadow mural of "King of Chu Welcoming Guests" on the north wall of the coffin chamber of the King of Chu. This shadow was gradually formed after the tomb was opened, and there is no trace of water seepage outside the shadow, which is puzzling.
🏺The unearthed national first-class cultural relic Liu Zhu silver seal, with the two characters "Liu Zhu" in small seal script, is the private seal of King Liu Zhu of Chu. The singing and dancing pottery figurines are all women, with their sleeves swinging with the dance posture, dancing gracefully, recreating the grand scene of singing and dancing performances in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
❓ Mystery of precision: The two corridors were excavated along the center line, with a maximum deviation of only 5 mm. If they were extended infinitely to the west, their intersection would be located in Xi'an, 1,000 kilometers away. According to the technical level at that time, how to build such a corridor is still a mystery.
❓ The mystery of the stone plug: The southern corridor is blocked by 26 stones, divided into two layers, with 13 stones in each layer, each weighing 6-7 tons, and the seams between the stones are so tight that even a coin can hardly be stuffed in. How the ancients transported these huge stones and stuffed them into the corridor is puzzling.
🎫Adults: 78, students under 1.4 meters are free of charge
⏰Visit for about 1 hour
Xuzhou is the birthplace of the Han Dynasty, Chu and Han competed to be thrilling, all for Xuzhou left a lot of valuable historical and cultural heritage, and there are many mystery that has not been uncovered so far, "Guishan Han Tomb" is the most classic part of it. In the long time without large mechanical engineering equipment, it is a miracle to build such a project, and two basic parallel, long ramps, if infinitely extended, their intersection is actually ancient Chang'an, that is, Xi'an now, How did such a intersection thousands of miles apart be calculated? And the whole turtle mountain is almost a huge rock, except that the ramp cannot be entered, the ramp is full of tons of stuffed stones, how the "touching gold captain" can pull the stuffed stones, successfully stealing the tomb, can not explain. When I first saw it a few years ago, I was very shocked. This time I came to see it again, and it was equally shocking! At present, everything in the tomb has been imitated, and the real product has either been stolen or preserved in the Xuzhou Museum.

There is a bus nearby but it is good to have a storage point but it is not convenient to store. There are many people in management. The general theater feels not particularly good-looking. Holidays basically queue for a long time to eat or cultural and creative. There is no special feature. Although the park is large, the air conditioning in the rest place does not feel much. Generally not recommended
The performance is particularly good-looking, the scenery is beautiful, the national show is praised, the actors are very good, I like it very much, all kinds of performances are constantly, everyone goes to rush, the price of things in the scenic spot is fair, the cultural and creative store is also very good, rush!

Qingdao Badaguan Scenic Area is definitely the most literary and petty bourgeoisie place in Qingdao. Eight streets are named after "Guan", such as: Shanhaiguan Road, Juyongguan Road, etc., each street planted a different sidewalk tree, and there are different scenery throughout the year. In the German-style bungalows and gardens in the Badaguan Scenic Area, there are many elegant, fresh and refined coffee shops, order a cup of coffee, you can sit for an afternoon. Unfortunately, after May 1, the tourist season is coming, the car can not enter, but fortunately there are several coffee shops on the coastal side outside. Sitting under the banyan tree, facing the sea, blowing the sea breeze, very good and very fragrant!
It feels like walking inside without spending money can end soon. The cheapest Huashi Building is good, and it is the second beach. You can spend more money to play, it rained for two days, it’s good to go in and go around.

The monster is very responsible and seriously dancing. The scenery on the top of the mountain is good. I saw a few monkeys on the road. Since it was a bus, the monkey was too dared to get close. Going to the water curtain hole, you have to climb a lot of stairs yourself. The driver's driving skills are good, and the elderly are afraid.
When I came to Lianyungang, I didn’t go to Huaguo Mountain. I felt that I would miss something if I didn’t look at Sun Wukong’s hometown. I chose to take the car down the mountain with my baby. When I arrived at the Shuiliandong Scenic Area, I was afraid that I would go to the Shuiliandong in about 15 minutes. I could see the cute little monkey when I left the water curtain hole!
