Before the climb, I heard there wouldn't be a sunrise for several days, and the tickets were sold out after a few people hiked in the middle of the night.
I started my climb from Hongmen at 5:45 and reached Yuhuangding around 10:00.
It wasn't hot without the sun, but it was still quite cold at the top.
I hated the porters the most. They carried things down the mountain and yelled at tourists to make way. The 115 yuan ticket was just a matter of watching their faces.
Mount Tai is worth recommending a visit🤙👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!

I didn't get a daytime ticket, so I ended up choosing an evening ticket. The evening was quite special, with parades and games. The Sheniu Club had a lot of fun. The coins I won could be exchanged for beer or used to buy things.
The place is worth of visit. It tells you how this Tsingdao beer started and the progress history. The museum also demonstrated how the beer been processed and got a chance to taste the beer.

Yangkou is the best choice for enjoying the mountain and sea scenery in Laoshan Scenic Area. Traffic jams during peak season are a real headache. To save time, I parked the car more than a kilometer away from the scenic area entrance and walked into the mountain... There were too many people at Mitian Cave, and conservatively estimated that the queue would be at least an hour. Therefore, I didn't choose to go to Tianyuan here, which is a bit regrettable...
It's a place worth visiting, the scenery is very beautiful. The fairy mountain on the sea makes people open-minded. The overall service is good. It would be better if there were more shades in the waiting area and the cable car.

We took a cruise to Liugong Island. The scenery on the island was pretty good, but the sun was strong and the ultraviolet rays were too strong, so we had to pay attention to sun protection. We also visited the Sino-Japanese War Military Museum.
It's worth going, very educational, the scenery on the island is also beautiful, and it's fun to feed the seagulls on the boat. The only problem is that the weather is too hot and there are too many people during the summer vacation, so I didn't see many places carefully. You can reserve a day to take a slow walk.

Nice for a family day out. Lots of things for kids to see and do.
I read tons of travel guides before visiting Polar Ocean Park, but none of them were helpful. Arriving at 8:30 a.m., it was packed. The ticket gates really need to be improved. There's no separate flow for those who buy tickets at the gate, which significantly delays entry. The lines were incredibly annoying. Everything we could see indoors was blurry, and the animals were cute, but we needed to see them through the crowds. We were thinking of exploring the outdoor area first before heading back inside, just briefly enjoying the Ferris wheel and the sea lion show. It was so hot, the performers and the sea lions were working really hard, and we, the spectators, felt a bit disappointed that the ride was so short and too hot. Also, it's best to sit in the middle section, as the actors are there to see the show. Even the front rows on the sides didn't offer much. The 5D ride and story are outdated, making them only suitable for younger children. Adults and children in third grade and up shouldn't queue. After the outdoor area, you can't go back inside directly; you have to queue through the main entrance. My child didn't want to wait in line, so we didn't experience it. I wonder if we'll let him do it again.

Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area is very worth a visit. It is a place where the eight immortals cross the sea, a place where the mirage is infested, and a place with fairy spirit. Standing at the top end of Penglai Pavilion overlooking the sea and sky, the scenery there is beautiful, Saturday and Sunday 8:50 there is a city gate ceremony performance, it is worth enjoying. The night view of Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area is also very beautiful. Every night at 19:00, Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area and Eight Immortals Cross the Sea Scenic Area. The lights of Sanxian Mountain Scenic Area are lit at the same time. The whole scenic area is like daylight, plus the sound of waves in the sea water, making you feel like entering a fairyland.
Penglai Pavilion is very, very worth a visit. Before I went, I checked the guide. Some people said that taking the round-trip cable car saves time and effort, while others said it is not worth it because the distance is very short. However, the temperature was 37 degrees Celsius on the day I went, and taking the cable car was simply beautiful. It was such a wise choice. The scenery was beautiful and the round-trip angles were different. It was easy to take a few photos without sweating. There was also a slight sea breeze, which was very comfortable. I think this is a choice that varies from person to person, but the feeling of taking the cable car, whether it is a one-way or round-trip, is very good. I visited Penglai Pavilion for more than four hours. The main reason for the long time was that I watched 3D movies and visited the Dengzhou Museum.

Overall, it was a good experience. Even if you're quick, it takes most of the day. The package is a good value, and there's a lot to do, including animal shows, a cable car ride, and a boat trip. It's a 22-year-old, 5A-rated hotel, so the facilities are a bit dated. Parking is charged hourly, and you don't need to redeem your ticket on Ctrip. You need to scan a QR code at each museum and attraction. A recommended order for visiting is to see the first dolphin and beluga whale show at the Polar Museum at 9:30. Then, don't rush to visit the Polar Museum and go directly to the Happy Theater for the 10:20 sea lion show. Then, return to the Polar Museum, which will finish around mid-morning. After lunch, go to the Coral and Marine Museums. You can take the cable car to the Bird's Singing Forest. From the Bird's Singing Forest, walk 300 meters to the cruise ship pier for a boat trip. If you drive to the South Gate, you can take a taxi back to the pier, or walk back if you're not in a hurry.
The dolphin show is very popular and always full. If you don't go early, there will be no seats. We waited for the show to end and went in directly, but it was full in a short time. There is a mermaid photo booth in the venue. It is 99 yuan, including costumes, makeup and photos, and all the negatives are free. The little girl couldn't resist it. The assembly line operation is very good and beautiful. The water show is also wonderful, but the water area is not large and not very clean. The children had a lot of fun playing in the sand.

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.
