Mount Tai's Winter Rime Ice Spectacular

The tour started with a meeting point to board a bus to bring us to the attraction entrance. Our guide Lianghua was punctual, gave us an introduction of the Mount Tai and brought us around. She was readily available to answer our questions and was helpful throughout the tour. The climb at the 18 bends was challenging yet satisfying. Over 3000 steps. The view at the peak was great and totally worth it. Amazing experience overall.
Overall, I like the cable car at Mount Tai, but the scenery at Mount Tai is really good. The price is not expensive, especially for the elderly, who are free or half price, which is very friendly. You don’t have to carry too many things up the mountain, and there are things for sale. I personally feel that it is not very expensive and within an acceptable range.

Stepping into Baotu Spring Park feels like stepping into a natural ink painting. Three clear springs gush endlessly, like jade liquid rising into the air and snow-capped waves surging, their endless vitality awe-inspiring! Surrounding the park are exquisite pavilions and weeping willows swaying in the water, perfectly blending the grandeur of northern gardens with the graceful beauty of Jiangnan scenery. Li Qingzhao's former residence, nestled within the park, adds a touch of cultural elegance. The water is crystal clear, revealing the bottom, and koi carp swim gracefully. Watching from the railing, your heart follows the tranquility of the springs, and your worries vanish. Admire the crabapple blossoms in spring and the chrysanthemums in autumn. The misty winter air, shrouded in mist, creates a truly dreamlike scene. Jinan's soul converges here, truly the most vibrant pearl of the Qilu region!
Baotu Spring is very beautiful in autumn. I was lucky enough to see the spring. It is worth visiting. Unfortunately, parking is a bit difficult on weekends. The scenic area's tour guide time is also a bit expensive compared to the tour guide fee.

It was really great. It vividly and realistically portrayed the historical development, production process, and production facilities of the Tsingtao Brewery. Each person also experienced two glasses of beer. The overall feeling was comfortable and relaxing. I will come again next time.
Stepping into the Tsingtao Beer Museum is like traveling through a century of Tsingtao Beer's history. The museum's rich exhibits vividly showcase the brand's development. The tasting area is a highlight. Take a sip, and the aroma of malt permeates your tongue as the beer flows smoothly down your throat. The delicious taste is intoxicating, truly captivating.

For first-time visitors to Laoshan, I recommend three days. It's truly vast. On the first day, visit Taiqing and Huayan, on the second, Yangkou and Jiushui, and on the third, Jufeng.
I personally think Laoshan is best suited for self-driving tours. The scenic bus stops directly at the parking lot, so you'll miss out on many scenic views along the way.
How can you visit Qingdao without visiting Laoshan? It's home to Laoshan, the most famous mountain on the sea and the highest peak on China's coastline. I did some research before going and found several scenic areas. My first visit, I chose Yangkou and Taiqing. The scenery was beautiful, and the cable car ride up wasn't tiring. Climbing up to Tianyuan, the view was breathtaking. There's a giant rock inscribed with the Chinese characters "Laoshan" (literally "Laoshan"), offering a panoramic view of the mountains, sea, and sky. I also enjoyed some Laoshan Baihuashecao water and Laoshan Coke, which were quite unique. The Baihuashecao water wasn't too bad, so I was fine. [Laughing and crying]

The view of the Ferris wheel on the sea is very beautiful. The other five venues are all very good. There is no need to queue for various projects. There are not many people and the experience is full.
The performances are rich, including the Sea Whale Show, the Beautiful White Whale Show and other 6 major performances, which integrate acrobatics, technology and marine culture and are highly entertaining. The venue facilities are relatively new, with a 360° fully transparent jellyfish tunnel, a 360-degree dome theater, etc., which can bring visitors an immersive experience. You can get close to polar animals such as polar bears, beluga whales, penguins, etc., which is very popular among children.

This trip to the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion was a truly enriching cultural experience, guided by our guide, Xun. His explanations were easy to understand and gave us a vivid and engaging understanding of Confucian culture. Free luggage storage was available before the tour, and a dedicated shuttle service was provided to return us to the departure point afterward, which was very convenient. The Ctrip staff were also very welcoming.
Qufu boasts the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Cemetery. I drove all the way from Beijing with my nearly 80-year-old parents to visit. Admission is free for those over 60, so I give Shandong a big thumbs up for its cultural tourism. It fulfilled my parents' wish to see the sage's office and residence. Perfect!

It is well worth a visit, as you can travel back to the Western Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago. Here, you can see the life view that death is as important as life from the layout of the 15 functional rooms of the King of Chu, marvel at the precision of measurement and positioning while walking along two laser-level parallel lines, and see the spatial mechanics of hollowing out half a mountain without collapse, as well as the underground canal system for drainage and moisture prevention.
Very good, very good value for money. I'd stay here again next time. The subway station is 500 meters away, and the high-speed rail station is about a ten-minute taxi ride away. I took a special express train for only 4.8 yuan. I wouldn't bother taking the subway. There's a commercial building downstairs, the room was clean, and the breakfast was really good. There's also a laundry room and a gym.

The sand is very fine and the water is quite clear. In the afternoon, the mountain blocks the sunlight, so it is not too hot. There are free swimming rings in Suma Bay. At night, when we arrived at Dashawan, there were bulldozer headlights for lighting, life jackets were provided, and lifeguards patrolled on motorboats to escort people who were out at night. The scenic area is very attentive. There was also a concert in Dashawan at night, and the songs were great.
Liandao Scenic Area, where mountains and sea meet, offers breathtaking scenery.
We recommend checking out Yangwotou, where you can not only see a stunning sunrise but also see a Nezha mural, which is incredibly photogenic. The coastal boardwalk offers picturesque scenery and is perfect for strolling and taking photos.
There are also some hidden dangers. Be careful not to trust the "wild guides" at the entrance to the scenic area, and don't buy the so-called "crystal bracelets" offered by the scenic area. They can easily lead to scams.
For a family trip, we recommend taking the scenic shuttle from the visitor center to Suma Bay, where you can take your children to see peacocks and play on the beach. Then, head to Dasha Bay to enjoy the waves and sand, and finally stroll along the coastal boardwalk to enjoy the refreshing sea breeze.
Suma Bay offers free sunshades, but there are paid showers, though the water is not hot.

Thanks to Ctrip for giving me the opportunity to see Jay Chou. It was a very touching trip. I hope I can get Jay Chou tickets on Ctrip again next time.
I saw Jay Chou's wonderful concert, and I'm grateful to Ctrip for helping me get the tickets.
