Mount Tai's Winter Rime Ice Spectacular

The summit of the Five Great Mountains is a must-see. Plus, the wind was so strong online, so the family, young and old, opted for a lazy hike: a shuttle bus and cable car, then a short hike on their own. The shuttle bus cost 40 yuan, one way! That's a rip-off for just a short distance. The cable car cost 100 yuan one way, so we had to buy a new one for the return trip. The weather wasn't great, sometimes cloudy, sometimes sunny, and everywhere was crowded. It felt like we'd just had to be there.
Mount Tai is worth climbing. For those who are up for a challenge but have limited abilities, I recommend hiking up and taking the cable car and bus down. I started with my kids at 8:15 AM and reached Jade Emperor Peak at 4 PM. We didn't need to bring food or drinks, as they were heavy. We stopped along the way, bought water at food stalls, and then bought some food a few hours later, which wasn't expensive. However, I recommend arriving early, as after reaching Nantianmen, there are several scenic spots on the summit, and visiting them all takes at least an hour. Since we wanted to take the cable car down, which runs until 6 PM, we needed to allow at least an hour to queue, which wouldn't be enough time to visit all the attractions.

Baotu Spring really exceeded my expectations. Although there were many tourists, when your eyes touched the spring water, all the sounds around you disappeared. The whole scenic area was a blend of flowing spring water and lush woods. It was wonderful!
Located on Baotu Spring Road in Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, it faces Quancheng Square to the east and Wulongtan to the north. It's the first of Jinan's 72 famous springs and a representative of artesian karst springs, sourced from the Ordovician karst aquifer south of the city. Well worth a visit!

The scenic area is well planned, with performances one after another. If you watch them all, you really won't have enough time. The Jingdong Defense War and Yue Fei's spear-to-kill Liang Wang are worth seeing, but you won't be able to see them if it's too crowded late. The snacks inside are rich and inexpensive, and the overall impression is very good.
Qingming Shanghe Park has many performances and a large park, making it worth a visit. The "Dream of the Capital of the Song Dynasty" performance is magnificent and rich in content, and is recommended. In the summer, during the daytime, there are cooling sprays. Popular performances such as "Iron Flower" and "Yue Fei Challenges the Young King of Liang" are recommended to arrive early to reserve seats.

This was my kids' favorite scenic spot on this trip. They couldn't get enough of it in just three days, and even after leaving for several days, they kept nagging about going back. The scenic area really offers performances of all sizes, and the quality is excellent. The NPCs are very engaging and interactive. It's absolutely worth it, and the ticket price is very affordable. Five-star rating.
In the central Water Margin and Xianxia areas, there must be a stage within a hundred meters, and there must be a performance on the stage, no matter how many or few spectators there are. Moreover, the performances are not repeated, and there will be different performances at different time periods. Many times, when we walk around after watching a performance, there will be a different performance when we come back, so we will not be bored at all.

The park is clean and tidy. Although the weather is hot, the waiting time is acceptable. Most of the park has sheds to shade the sun.
A breathtaking experience! This immersive journey through the loess labyrinth interweaves grand narratives (famine, sacrifice, and resilience) with microcosmic details (such as those of Lijia Village and the train station), striking the heart. It deeply reveals Henan's memory of suffering and resilience, and passionately celebrates the cultural roots and endless vitality of the Central Plains. Innovative in form and powerful in emotion, it evokes a profound resonance of land, history, and life.

Hiring a guide is a must for this scenic spot. Although the guides were a bit pushy at the entrance, they were paid for in person and provided excellent explanations. They also provided good answers to questions that went beyond the outline. The Confucius Temple is worth a leisurely stroll; it felt like every stone slab had a story. By the time I reached the Confucius Mansion, I was a bit exhausted and only had a quick look. From there, I walked east and, near the intersection with the Yan Temple, I found a teahouse on the second floor of the Ctrip Experience Center for some refreshment. The teahouse offers a view of the Yan Temple, a perfect tranquil spot amidst the bustle.
Personally, I think the ticket price is a bit expensive, but the tour guide I bought on the Ctrip app was very good. The explanation was both interesting and informative, and he took great care of everyone throughout the trip. The price-performance ratio was super high. Although the weather was very hot, I enjoyed the whole tour very much, and it was worth the trip.

Route A is a clockwise tour of the Baquanxia Scenic Area. You will take a sightseeing bus, walk through the time tunnel, take a cruise, walk about 2 kilometers to the canyon section, take a cable car to the top of the mountain, walk or take an aerial bus to the Sky City, take the elevator, and take a sightseeing bus out of the scenic area. The ticket price is a bit more expensive, but the tour is more relaxing.
I entered the scenic area around 2pm. There was basically no queue. Except for the cable car and elevator, the scenery was beautiful, especially the valley section was cool. It was not difficult and suitable for all ages. It was just that it was very troublesome to scan your ID card every time you took a car. It is recommended to scan your face to take the car, boat, cable car, and bus. It is very convenient.

I went to Kaifeng to check in at Kaifeng Mansion. I hired a tour guide at the door for 80 yuan so that the children could learn more about history. I watched almost all the performances inside according to the schedule, but there were too many people in the peak season and I didn’t watch the greeting at the door. I feel that this season is more suitable for visiting in the afternoon and evening.
This is one of the smaller parks in Kaifeng, but it still offers quite a few performances. Since the venue doesn't clear at night, it's a good deal if you can also see the night show with a regular ticket, but you won't be able to see the live version of "One Lantern."
The most exciting show is the one at the martial arts arena, but I recommend the others as well. It's probably the most informative of the three major parks in Kaifeng, so those interested in history and culture should visit Kaifeng Mansion.

The hotel is very cozy, with complete facilities. It is very comfortable to watch TV on a large screen. The boss is very good and kind. I am very satisfied and will come back next time.
The Han Tomb is quite large, and the burial objects inside are relatively complete and spectacular. There are also the Imperial Edict Museum and Dianshi Garden next to it. The big bell in Dianshi Garden is not fun at all (it’s super interesting, okay), and I only hit it about a dozen times 😗

The islands are as unique and beautiful as pearls scattered across the vast blue sea. Strolling through this island chain, every step is filled with poetry and the distant horizon. (〃'▽'〃)
It is very convenient to use. You can get off at each stop to browse, but the route will be adjusted during holidays. It is recommended to consult the scenic spot in advance. The entire Liandao environment is beautiful and the water is very clear.
