Aside from the overcrowding during holidays, I was quite satisfied with everything else!
Baotu Spring, the first of China's 72 famous springs, was once named the best spring under heaven by Emperor Qianlong.
The park boasts beautiful scenery, deep springs, ancient architecture, and a rich cultural atmosphere. Nearby attractions like Daming Lake and Wulongtan are all worth visiting.
Baotu Spring: The heart of Jinan City is inexhaustible boiling between the world and the earth, and Baotu Spring is flowing day and night. Three clear springs are like boiling, spraying thin from the deep bottom of the water, the water is rolling, crystal clear, as if the life and vitality of the earth are pouring out from the depths of the earth, and never stop. The stone of Qianlong Yubi "the first spring in the world" is on the side, silently witnessing the millennium of this natural wonder. Standing on the side of the spring, the sound of water rolling like boiling water, the cool water mist coming, the refreshing coolness dispels the noise, only this pure and powerful breath between the world and the world. There is more than a sudden spring in the park. Washing Yuquan is clear like a mirror, Jin Line Spring is strange and interesting, Du Kangquan legend is long...More than 30 famous springs have different postures, like pearls scattered in the garden. There is also a quiet and elegant Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, and the Qingzhao legacy still exists, adding book ink to this beautiful place. You can cast a coin to make a wish, or taste a clear spring water bubble into the aroma, listen to a long charm of Lu opera singing spring water has already infiltrated the daily life of Jinan people. Baotu Spring is not only a scenery, but also Jinan flowing soul. Three springs of water are crystal clear, rushing, as if the breath of the whole city is lifted. If you come to Jinan, please come in the early morning when there are few people, and feel the constant heartbeat of this "first spring in the world". Its weight and clarity are worth your special visit.

I haven't been to similar attractions, but it's worth a visit. It's cool inside. I recommend buying a ticket with a sightseeing bus because it's still a long way to walk to the underground entrance. Rafting is also fun. You need to buy a raincoat because you may get wet at the last minute.
It's fun. It's very cool inside. It's suitable for summer. It's best to buy the sightseeing bus ticket because walking is really long, hot and tiring. Rafting is also fun. You need to buy a raincoat. You may get your clothes wet at the last minute.

1. The service was excellent. Someone from the scenic area contacted me the day before to explain how to get my ticket and whether I needed a shuttle. 2. I arrived after 8:30 AM and the bus left as soon as it was full. 3. We went to the peak in the opposite direction, avoiding the usual peak times. There were no lines at any point, making the experience truly wonderful. 4. The gravel road was difficult to navigate, but thankfully there was a scenic area bus to the peak. 5. The intervals between peaks ranged from 20-50 minutes, with 40-60 minutes allowed for each peak. The driver would briefly brief everyone and wait until everyone was present before leaving. 6. Fasten your seatbelt; I felt a jolt of movement throughout the entire trip, almost being airborne several times. 7. The hike lasted from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with the bus parked at the temple entrance. But my legs still felt like they weighed me down. 8. The scenery was pleasant, and the temperature at the top of the mountain had dropped. We visited in late July, especially at the North Peak, where the temperature was about 10°C lower than at the base, so a fleece-lined jacket was recommended. A light jacket would suffice for the other peaks.
A Two-Day, One-Night Self-Driving Guide for Babysitters
When traveling with parents, the principle is to take it easy and enjoy the scenery. Self-driving is truly convenient, but be sure to reserve a vehicle in advance (see the previous article for a complete guide to reserving a vehicle).
Mount Wutai is truly stunning! Pilgrimage to the various temples in the core area, explore the architecture, history, and murals. The surrounding scenery is also breathtaking. It's truly a sacred place where history, culture, faith, and natural beauty blend seamlessly. A recommended itinerary is at least two days. Two days is the minimum; it's only enough to explore the core area. If you have the time, a week or so of stay will allow for a more in-depth experience.
About attractions:
The Mount Wutai scenic area is incredibly vast! Xiaohongshu has different descriptions and recommendations for different temples. The B&B owner recommends the following:
Luo Temple: Named after the son of Sakyamuni, it houses a blooming Buddha statue.
Guanghua Temple: The most beautiful Tibetan Buddhist temple on Mount Wutai.
Dailuoding: Known as the "Little Chaotai," you can choose to climb the stairs or the ramp, allowing you to admire Pusa Ding across the way.
Pusa Ding: A royal temple, also requiring stairs.
Go!
Wuye Temple: The most popular temple on Mount Wutai, be sure to arrive early.
Shanhua Temple: I stumbled into it by accident and had a delicious vegetarian meal! (There are 20 yuan per person and 38 yuan per person, depending on the queue location.)
The Great White Pagoda is under renovation, but I have no regrets and will definitely come again.
On the first day, I visited Shuxiang Temple, Dailuoding, and Zhenhai Temple, and then returned to Huyingou.
On the second day, I drove to Guanghua Temple, Pusading, and then the Outer Ring Road to enjoy the natural scenery. This way, I separated the two temples that require climbing, making it more manageable for the elderly and more relaxing.
About Transportation:
Besides driving, public transportation within the scenic area is very convenient and free!
Buses 7 and 8 operate 24 hours a day. There are frequent services during busy days, but waiting times can be time-consuming at night when traffic is light.
About Accommodation:
There are several areas to choose from! Huyingou and Yangbaiyu are both very convenient for food and accommodation. Huyingou is close to the South Gate parking lot, while Yangbaiyu is closer to the core scenic area. Among the express hotels, Hanting is located within Huyingou; the popular Yinlong Villa and Yunlong Hotel on Xiaohongshu are both in prime locations.
About Dining:
There's a vegetarian Dicos within the scenic area! There are also many other dining options, and some temples offer vegetarian meals, which you can enjoy. Overall, it's a well-established scenic area, with no worries about food and accommodation. Regarding the pilgrimage to the peak: You can directly purchase a ticket for the main pilgrimage, and minibuses will take you from peak to peak. There are also many hikers.

The entrance fee, transportation, and Skybus ticket combined totaled 300, which seemed expensive, but it was definitely worth it. The entire scenic area is quite high-quality and uniquely beautiful! You could spend a whole day exploring it. When you're tired, you can stay in a B&B, enjoy some skewers and beer in the evening, and enjoy the mountain breeze. It was quite refreshing! The only negative thing was the parking lot outside the scenic area: it was shabby and dusty.
The quality of the scenic area is impeccable; it's absolutely stunning! While the fee is quite high, I think it's worth the 300 yuan, which is enough for a full day. If you're really tired, you can stay in a B&B near the scenic area and experience the mountain nightlife at night, with some barbecue and beer. My only complaint is the parking lot outside the restricted area; it's a bit shabby and dusty.

The mountain scenery is good, the mountain scenery is beautiful, and the mountain scenery is magnificent. It's fun, the children like it very much, and the mountain climbing is not strenuous. Although there are many people, the projects can be arranged. It's very filmy. I look forward to seeing you next time.
I bought a three-day ticket plus a package of Fantasy Liaozhai for 128, went up the mountain at 5:30 pm, and took a tour bus to Manshui Bridge for 10 yuan one way. The Shiyexian Village is very beautiful, and the atmosphere is full at night. There is a noodle restaurant with a nice owner, delicious noodles and not expensive. Fantasy Liaozhai is average, with no content.

I didn't realize the Five Balls were so huge... I rushed to the Box early in the morning to check in with the Mayday puppets, then headed to Chaoyang Park at 10 a.m. to enter Pop Mart. Afterward, I walked out the back door to check in at the Five Balls. It was a bit far, over an hour and a kilometer, but still closer than the main entrance. Afterward, I headed towards Blue Harbor for a shorter walk. I had no idea Chaoyang Park was so big, and the Five Balls were also so huge 🥕.
⚽ Xia Yanluyin: Chaoyang Park football field Manji 🌿 The breath of natural meadow stepped into the football field in the southeast corner of Chaoyang Park, and the heat wave came wrapped in the grass and cracked musk. The natural lawn is spread out into an emerald velvet blanket under the July sun, and when you step barefoot, the softness of the grass and the warmth of the soil spread from the soles of your feet to your body. The white skin on the side of the field cast mottled shadows, the twigs squeaked like tides, and every sprint stopped sharply, and the water splashed by the grass chips spun into a tiny rainbow in the sun. 🔥 The hot arena at three o'clock in the afternoon has become a hot melting pot. The teenagers shuttled like cheetahs, and the back of the jersey was dizzy and the deep blue sweat was opened; the fathers formed the "set sun red team", panting and staring at the passing route; The wooden chairs on the side of the field have long been occupied~ mothers handed out ice electrolyte water, fathers held up mobile phone video, roaring "back to defense!" moment, the drone was skimming the treetops, the green field in the aerial shot like a blue inlaid in the urban buildings. 🌇 When the rest of the day fell to Xishan in the dusk, the training whistle gradually stopped. The children collapsed on the meadow and counted clouds, and the parents lifted their backpacks along the wetland plank road. The lotus wind swept over the reeds and sent the laughter of the water bank paddle board club; The neon reflection of the dam river in the Olympic Sports Center overlaps with the silhouette of the white scorpion returning to the nest into a flowing light belt. There was a long queue in front of the self-service water dispenser on the side of the field. The last bottle of ice cola in the freezer was choked by the teenager. The bottle was dripping with water vapor, and the half-faded training cone bucket between the grass leaves was wet.

The Taihang Grand Canyon is located in Shibanyan Township, Linzhou, Anyang City, Henan Province, in northwestern Henan Province, at the eastern foot of the Southern Taihang Mountains. It stretches 50 kilometers from north to south and 1.5 kilometers from east to west, with an elevation range of 800-1,739 meters, a height difference of over 1,000 meters. The scenic area covers 89 square kilometers, with a vegetation coverage rate of 90%, earning it a reputation as a natural oxygen bar. The area boasts towering cliffs, majestic peaks, crisscrossing terraces, the turbulent Cangxi River, and cascading waterfalls, exemplifying the "northern majestic scenery."
Overall, it is still quite beautiful. The whole trip is not tiring and very relaxing. The canyon is cool, but it is still a little different from what is uploaded on the Internet. It is not as beautiful as it feels.

The museum is very large. In addition to the free admission, other tickets need to be purchased separately. We did not make an appointment on the day, so we bought and paid tickets to enter. There are many places to check in, which is very suitable for a walk.
I made an appointment for the National Maritime Museum, but it was not available, so I bought this ticket so that I could go in directly. It is actually quite convenient. It is worth a visit and you can still learn something!

My friend recommended me to visit Europa Park. The park is very large and very suitable for taking photos and checking in. There are many NPC brothers and sisters interacting when entering the park, which is very suitable for watching and playing. I am very grateful to the staff of Global Journey. When we were in a hurry to get out of the park, because we were not familiar with the road conditions in the park, the staff took the initiative to help us and sent us to the exit. The staff was very responsible and enthusiastic. I give a thumbs up to the staff of Global Journey.
This is Quancheng Europa Castle, an amusement park comparable to Universal Studios. It is a must-visit place for taking photos and checking in. There are really many projects in the park. One ticket can visit the whole park without queuing. The staff on site are very friendly. I am very grateful to the staff of Universal Journey for their thoughtful instructions to us. From the small things, it can be seen that Europa Castle's service management is really in place. It is really service-oriented. I give a big thumbs up to the staff of Universal Journey.
