During the 2-day and 1-night trip, the driver, Master Zhang, was very nice. He played music when asked and stopped to take pictures when asked. He was very easygoing. I was very lucky to meet him during the Everest trip. Goodbye, Jianghu.
Mount Tai is a place for those who are stubborn. It is more tiring than climbing Mount Huangshan. The legs are sore on the steps that I doubt my life. It is best to wear knee pads or patellar braces so that the knees can be more stressed. I was lucky to see the sea of clouds and the sunrise. It was really beautiful.

Standing by the main pool of Baotu Spring, the most captivating sight is the three streams of water—wrapped in tiny, silvery bubbles, bubbling up from the bottom like three everlasting snowflakes, their impact creating a gentle, crisp sound, and the air is filled with the refreshing coolness of the spring water.
Getting closer is even more stunning: the water is so clear that you can even see the pebbles at the bottom. The three streams rise and fall, yet never cease to flow. No wonder the ancients said, "The water surges like a wheel." This vibrant energy seems to have gathered all the spiritual energy of Jinan into this pool.
I searched online for a long time, comparing many options, and finally booked this hotel the day before arriving in Jinan. I was so lucky! The hotel is in a great location, close to all the attractions. Baotu Spring is just a two-minute walk away, and I can walk across the street and return to the hotel at night after a nice stroll. It was very convenient. The room was very clean and tidy, and I loved it. The shower head had a great, powerful water flow, which was very comfortable. There was a washing machine and dryer on the first floor. The hotel staff were friendly and polite. This hotel experience was a perfect score. I will choose this hotel again next time I visit Jinan. The front desk staff were excellent, and the hotel environment was truly comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, and the warm lighting gave it a cozy feel. The hotel facilities are very complete, including laundry facilities and breakfast. I wanted freshly cooked noodles, and the braised dishes were also very good. There were two kinds of braised dishes, and I loved the fried eggs.

Who in my family understands this? 😍 The Tsingtao Beer Museum is truly worth a visit!
As soon as I entered the museum, a strong sense of history washed over me. The museum details the development of Tsingtao Beer from its founding in 1903 to the present day. The antique brewing equipment, faded photos, and precious documents transported me back to the days of beer brewing. I could almost see the workers busy at work in the workshop and hear the rumbling of the machines.
What surprised me most was being able to observe the entire beer brewing process up close. From malt selection and saccharification to fermentation and filtration, every step was imbued with technology and craftsmanship. The instructors were both professional and humorous, making the complex brewing process easy to understand, making even a beer novice like me fascinated.
The interactive experience area was even more fun. I personally participated in beer brewing games and tasted freshly brewed raw beer. The taste is rich and mellow, with a delicate foam that instantly bursts onto the tongue. Every sip is filled with the aroma of malt and the refreshing aroma of hops—it's simply divine!
The museum's cultural and creative products are also incredibly unique. The various souvenirs bearing the Tsingtao Beer logo are both beautiful and practical, and I couldn't resist buying quite a few.
This trip to the Tsingtao Beer Museum not only gave me a deeper understanding of beer culture but also left me with wonderful memories. Highly recommended for anyone who loves beer and history!
The 60 yuan ticket to Hall AB is worth visiting. After all, it is a must-see place for tourists. You can see the history and architecture of Tsingtao Beer. The German architecture is very distinctive. There is also a production line that is currently in use. You can see the final packaging process and have two glasses of beer to try during the process. It tastes very good.

From the Laoshan (Dahedong) Tourist Service Center, take the scenic area sightseeing bus directly to Taiqing Palace Station. Walk along the Shanhai Wooden Plank Road towards Taiqing Palace. Then take a bus or walk for 30 minutes to the Taiqing Cableway entrance. Take the cableway up to visit Mingxia Cave, Shangqing Palace, Longtan Waterfall, and other attractions. Be careful as cats are present on the way to Shangqing Palace and may try to scratch you. Return to the cableway and take photos of the distant Qingshan Fish Village from inside the cable car. It's best to choose a cable car with open windows. After exiting the cable car, walk to the observation deck. The return bus will be at the cableway entrance.

Qingdao Underwater World was so much fun! I learned a lot and saw lots of cute and interesting marine life. I even watched divers feeding fish and turtles. The interaction was so fun. The underwater tunnel was amazing. Although I was traveling alone, it's really a great place for family fun. Five-star recommendation!
My dears, we've discovered a treasure trove—the aquarium! This trip truly captivated me with the wonders of the ocean! As soon as I stepped through the aquarium's doors, it felt like I was enchanted, instantly disconnected from the bustling world outside. The first thing that caught my eye was the breathtaking "Deep Sea Screen," filled with all sorts of bizarre fish swimming through it.

The scenic spot tickets I bought this time were absolutely worth it. The scenery is beautiful, and the mountains and rivers are breathtaking. The product description is consistent with the actual product. The customer service is patient and the delivery is fast. The price-performance ratio is very high, and I will come again in the future.

Guishan Han Tomb is a must-see attraction when visiting Xuzhou. It is the eastern burial place of King Liu Xiang and his wife. It is divided into north and south chambers. The ancient wisdom and ingenuity are beyond compare. Many utensils inside are well preserved. The drainage system of the tomb is unique. It is more cost-effective to join a group tour on Ctrip. By the way, you can also visit Dianshi Garden and Imperial Edict Museum. It is said that they are the collections of folk collectors for many years, and the number of collections is astonishing.
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.

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.

The mountain isn't big, so kids had no trouble climbing it. Going down the mountain and sliding was fantastic. There are no discounts for the cable car tickets, so they're quite expensive at 50 yuan each.
We even caught a Peking Opera performance of Bao Zheng, which was great.
The Four Caves of Vientiane is a separate, man-made attraction, which is quite unusual. It's heavily advertised, but you need to buy a ticket to enter.
Thousand Buddha Mountain offers reasonable adult admission prices, and the scenic area boasts beautiful scenery and rich cultural heritage. Ticket verification was quick and easy, and entry was smooth. The trails are well-maintained, and the attractions along the way are well-informed. Overall, Thousand Buddha Mountain offers excellent value for money and is highly recommended for those who enjoy both natural beauty and historical culture.
