The scenic transportation + cableway tour is easy and not tiring, saving time, completing the wish of paying respects to the Bixia Temple, climbing the Jade Emperor Peak, and enjoying the majestic Five Mountains. The fog gathers and disperses from time to time, but you can still feel the magnificence of Mount Tai!
I booked the trip about half a month in advance. Because I was afraid it would be too hot in summer, I chose to take a bus from Tianwai Village to Zhongtianmen before starting the climb. It was not hot or stuffy at all that day, and it was very comfortable. It took two hours to get from Zhongtianmen to Nantianmen.
It took another half an hour from Nantianmen to Yuhuangding. Although it was not as shaky as the Eighteen Bends, it still required some physical strength.
As the prices kept rising on the way up the mountain, the electrolyte water I bought at Zhongtianmen cost 10 yuan, and it became 15 yuan halfway up the mountain. The mineral water cost 2 yuan and 5 yuan, and gradually increased to 8 yuan and 10 yuan. But after all, it was on the mountain, so I felt that the price was acceptable. There were also cucumbers for 10 yuan for three.

Baotu Spring was once praised by Emperor Qianlong as the best spring in the world. I used to think it was just an ordinary spring. But when I actually saw Baotu Spring, I found out that I was wrong. The scenery here is really beautiful and gives people a comfortable and refreshing feeling.
Baotu Spring, Jinan handed the world live poetry. Three streams of clear springs leaped up, playing the millennium singing of "Water surges like a wheel" with the water level of 28.38 meters. On the edge of the blue stone column, the "first spring" of Qianlong's royal pen reflected the water light, and the spirit of Lao She's pens rushed here. Tourists compete for the scenery under the heat wave of 34℃, just to touch the soul of this "cloud and mist" spring - it is the cry of groundwater, the rhyme of "wash jade word", and the firework totem in the blood of Jinan people.

The package with the light and shadow theater is 30 yuan more than the ordinary ticket. Children will probably like it. It takes about 10 minutes to watch it. Hall A and Hall B are the core. The original beer included in the ticket tastes good with beer beans. It is worth a visit for the first time in Qingdao. In general, it is recommended to buy ordinary tickets, which are the most cost-effective.
During the peak tourist season of summer vacation, I thought it would be enough to buy tickets online one day in advance. However, I found that all the basic tickets (60 yuan) were sold out on all platforms, and the earliest tickets would be several days later. I saw that the 90 yuan tickets including the light and shadow theater were still available, so I quickly ordered two tickets. Compared with 6 years ago, the beer museum is indeed much more interesting. There is also a small supermarket at the exit selling peripheral products, and the prices are not cheap.

If you are traveling with the elderly and children, it is best to buy a cable car ticket. You can reach the top of the mountain in half an hour after getting off the cable car. It is very convenient to use it after swiping your ID card.
It is convenient to buy tickets and enter the park. You can just swipe your ID card. The student ticket is 80 yuan and you can use it immediately after purchase. The peak of Jufeng Line is 1030 meters above sea level. It takes about 2 hours to reach the peak on foot. It takes another two hours to go to Bagua Gate.

Going to Liugong Island by boat is suitable for patriotic education with children. As Weihai was experiencing high temperatures for a few days, it was very hot to walk under the sun, but it was quite cool to sit in the shade. There are not many natural landscapes on the island, and the cost performance is not high.
People over 60 years old are free of charge for tickets, and the round-trip ticket only costs half price, which is only 31 yuan. It is very friendly to us old people. The island has historical relics such as the Sino-Japanese War Memorial Hall, as well as natural scenery such as forests and pine waves. It combines rich history with beautiful scenery. It is a famous patriotism education base and is worth a visit.

I brought my children to the Polar Ocean Park this summer and gained a lot. We saw many marine animals, experienced the ice and snow world, watched a dome movie, and rode the Ferris wheel. The children were very happy and will come again next time!
It was a 4-hour non-stop ride. There were surprises everywhere and it was fun everywhere. I will definitely enjoy it slowly next time I come back in the morning. The shows were all very good. I especially liked the dolphin show, the mermaid show, and the white whale show. The various fish and jellyfish were very cute. The magic ocean was also quite shocking. The Ferris wheel was very stable and comfortable, but it was a pity that it was late at night and I couldn't see the beautiful scenery during the day.

As one of the four famous towers, it has a long history and rich cultural heritage, and is one of the important birthplaces of Taoism in China. The Penglai Pavilion standing on the rocks by the sea and the Houhai Beach at the foot of the mountain are worth a visit.

It's not very big, and the facilities are a bit old, especially the lights of many display tanks. But the overall play experience is still good, especially if you bring your children to play for half a day, especially the view of Fisherman's Wharf in the park is very photogenic
Come to Tiger Beach Ocean Park, you must see the dolphin show! The little guys jumped high and neat, and they clapped with the audience, and the cheers in the field never stopped. The penguins in the polar hall twisted and twisted, and the polar bears were lying on the ice in a daze, super cute. The coral hall is like an undersea garden, with various corals and tropical fish, and your eyes can't see it. Tired of playing, sit on the beach bench for a while, and eat a sausage with the sea breeze, which is beautiful all day.

Each pavilion is not far from each other. But the animals are monotonous. It's called a performance. But it's no different from the Sichuan-style face-changing I saw at Haidilao. I waited for nearly 40 minutes. It's not worth it. And each pavilion is very run-down. I still hope the moss can be cleared. At least I can see the animals.
We went there at about noon and came out after lunch. We took our time to look around. It was very popular science. I took my children to look carefully and happily. When we came out, we found Luxun Park. It is convenient for catching seafood and eating. Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied!! The staff is responsible and has a good service attitude!

Liandao is indeed a 5A-level scenic spot. Parking is free, the ticket price is close to that of swimming pools in the mainland, and the service facilities in the scenic spot are complete. I will come again if I have the chance.
I went there for the third time. It was very good. I took a small sightseeing bus. There were so many people. It was very comfortable to have a cool place with wind. It was not fun to be under the sun. The beach had sunshades, which was good.
