I bought a ticket for around 11 p.m. to go up the mountain. I started climbing from the Red Building entrance and reached the top of the mountain around 4 a.m. The night view was beautiful, and there were a lot of people. You just need to be physically fit and know your limits.
Starting from Hongmen (Red Gate) is the most classic hiking route, with numerous historical and cultural sites along the way. Depending on individual circumstances, the entire hike takes 3-6 hours. Alternatively, you can take a cable car from Zhongtianmen (Middle Heaven Gate) to the summit.
Tickets can be purchased directly. Wear comfortable shoes; other equipment like hiking poles is up to you.

In winter, Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden not only features the still-brilliant International Chrysanthemum Exhibition, but also offers hundreds of immersive performances daily, two themed interactive events with thousands of NPCs, a Chinese-style amusement park, and many other exciting activities, fully recreating the prosperity of Bianjing (Kaifeng) in the Northern Song Dynasty and the charm of Song culture.
It's a traditional-themed cultural scenic area with dozens of performances, including several highlights such as the horse battle where Yue Fei defeats Xiao Liang Wang with his spear, the naval battle where the Jin army attacks Bianjing, traditional intangible cultural heritage acrobatics, and themed parades. The downside is the separately charged evening performance, "A Dream of the Song Dynasty in Bianjing," which reportedly features over 1000 performers. Perhaps due to its outdated design, it lacks originality and contemporary innovation, and compared to shows like the Fantasy City Theater in Henan, it doesn't justify the price. On the other hand, the chrysanthemum exhibition was fantastic; it was the first time I'd seen colorful chrysanthemums, and overall, it was a great experience.

The beauty of Baotu Spring surpasses even that of Jiangnan.
The scenic area isn't large, but the three gushing springs are unique.
They're breathtaking against the backdrop of the blue sky.
The spring water is crystal clear, and the rocky paths are perfect for taking photos.
There's also a memorial hall dedicated to Li Qingzhao and Wang Xuetao. Wanzhu Garden is also worth a visit. The entrance fee is 40 yuan. Jinan should really promote the unique culture surrounding these springs.
We went during the off-season, so we didn't see anything. It wasn't particularly exciting at all. The weather was very hot, which is understandable given the season, not the fault of the scenic area.
The scenic area is very considerate; they even set up a water play area for children. Thumbs up! Definitely worth a thumbs up!

Three days for 100 yuan is a great deal! No pressure, lots of interactive NPCs, perfect for relaxing or bringing kids. The price is really unbeatable; we had a fantastic time and will definitely come again.
I've been here a few times before, and it's getting better and better! I got an annual pass, and it was worth it! Now there are dedicated free parking lots, and there's also a free shuttle bus to the scenic area, which is very convenient and hassle-free! There are performances everywhere in the scenic area, and many NPCs to interact with, making it very lively! You can also earn silver coins, which can be exchanged for items.

I spent the entire day, from 9:30 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening, inside that place called Henan, surrounded by tall yellow walls, binge-watching shows in a rush. It was an experience that was well worth the money.
It's definitely worth a visit. There are three major plays: "Ice Fantasy" is suitable for all ages and tells the story of ancient people in Henan; then there's "Li Family Village" and "The Train Station," both quite touching. The train station is a moving theater, which is very interesting. The rest are smaller theaters, each with its own strengths and weaknesses; I didn't quite understand some of them.

The immersive performance was excellent! The holographic performance is also well worth seeing! Kaifeng Prefecture isn't very large, so walking around isn't tiring! There was also a lot of interaction with the audience! Kaifeng is a treasure trove, definitely worth visiting again!
Kaifeng Prefecture, located on the north bank of Bao Gong East Lake in Kaifeng City, Henan Province, covers an area of over 60 acres. It was an important institution in the Northern Song Dynasty managing the capital and surrounding areas, and was hailed as the "Premier Prefecture of the World." It is now a Song Dynasty cultural theme park.
Kaifeng Prefecture, also known as the Southern Office, was initially built in the first year of the Liang Dynasty's Kai Ping era (907 AD). Due to war and flooding by the Yellow River, the original Kaifeng Prefecture no longer exists. The current Kaifeng Prefecture is a cultural tourism area modeled after the Song Dynasty Kaifeng Prefecture Office, officially opened on August 14, 2003. Kaifeng Prefecture has nine functional areas, including the Prefecture Office Culture Area, the Bao Zheng Culture Area, and the Taoist Culture Area, and also hosts live performances such as "Welcoming Guests at the Opening Ceremony" and "The Case of Chen Shimei." Kaifeng Prefecture is easily accessible and has a superior location, making it a great place for leisure and sightseeing. I highly recommend it.

The guided tour package was definitely worth it; the tour guide was fantastic, contacting us a day in advance to let us know the meeting time and place for the next day. The explanations on the day of the tour were very detailed, and she also explained the nearby Imperial Edict Museum and Dian Shi Garden very thoroughly. Oh, by the way, the entire scenic area is quite large, so I recommend allowing at least half a day and wearing very comfortable shoes to prepare for a lot of walking.
It's fun, and the ancient tomb feels incredibly realistic. The location is a bit remote, which is understandable. If the tortoise-shaped seal on the souvenir item could be made a little more appealing, it would be even more desirable.

The scenic area is well-developed and managed. We took a bus to the beach, then another bus to visit the peacock garden, and then to another beach. After getting off the bus, we walked back to the first beach along the 2.5-kilometer boardwalk. Then we took another bus directly back to the visitor center. The scenery is beautiful and well worth a visit.
The islands of Lianyungang are exactly my type—nestled between mountains and the sea, with beautiful reefs. The coastal boardwalk is a scenic walking trail I've been longing to explore. If you have enough time and your physical condition allows, hiking instead of taking the shuttle bus is also a great option.

Thousand Buddha Mountain in Jinan: - Rich in Historical and Cultural Heritage: Thousand Buddha Mountain is one of Jinan's three major scenic spots, a blend of various cultures including the culture of Emperor Shun and Buddhism. Xingguo Temple, built in the Sui Dynasty, and Wanfo Cave, housing over 2,800 Buddhist statues from the Sui to Qing Dynasties, are located on the mountain. Lishan Academy is a Taoist architectural complex. This unique coexistence of Buddhism and Taoism allows visitors to experience a profound historical and cultural atmosphere.
- Combining Natural Landscapes with Urban Scenery: At 285 meters above sea level, Thousand Buddha Mountain is not particularly high, but from the summit, one can enjoy a 360° panoramic view of Jinan, including attractions such as Daming Lake and Baotu Spring. The scenery of "half city mountains, half city lakes" is captivating. In autumn, the mountain is ablaze with red leaves, reflecting against the ancient temples, creating a picturesque scene.
Thousand Buddha Mountain is not high, and hiking enthusiasts can enjoy the beautiful scenery while climbing. It is a Buddhist holy site with lush vegetation. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire city. The sunset is especially beautiful. You can also see the myriad of grottoes, which are 1:1 replicas of grottoes and Buddha statues.

I went there around 3:00 PM on National Day. I didn't check the schedule and just wandered around the park, catching whatever I could. I saw a performance called "Defending the Last Chicken of Langya" and a juggler. That evening, I went to see the National Show Langya, which was truly wonderful. I went straight to the Water Show. The line was incredibly long, and once inside, only seats were left at the side, but that was fine; I could see everything. I only saw the first act of Langya. I watched acts two, three, and four from the periphery. It rained intermittently, and I left the park at 9:30 AM, missing the final fireworks display.
Visiting at night is recommended! Linyi's Langya Ancient Town is a captivating cultural and tourist attraction. Its fully immersive concept recreates the splendor of Langya. Its seven themed areas, each with its own distinct character, feature exquisitely restored Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, including government offices and academies, creating a sense of time travel. The scenic area offers a wealth of cultural experiences, including intangible cultural heritage crafts and calligraphy workshops, allowing visitors to experience the heart of history. The entertainment industry is a highlight, with over 100 performances, such as "National Show Langya," performed daily, combining audiovisual effects with stunning real-life scenes. Furthermore, the scenic area offers affordable prices, and the snack alleys are filled with the lively atmosphere of life. However, during peak season, tickets for popular performances are hard to come by, and some areas can feel overly commercial.
