Mount Tai's Winter Rime Ice Spectacular

As the most majestic of the Five Great Mountains, it attracts countless visitors. We chose the less strenuous route, taking a bus from Tianwai Village to Zhongtianmen, then taking the cable car up the mountain, walking down to Zhongtianmen, and then taking another bus to the base of the mountain. The total journey took six hours. There are many cliff carvings and the mountain scenery is breathtaking, making it worth a visit. Many people reach the summit from Hongmen, so those with more stamina should try this.
Mount Tai is a must-climb at least once in your life. The scenery is breathtaking, and it's a real test of willpower. The path up is shady and the food is really affordable. Cucumbers are 10 yuan for four days, and water is also affordable, 2-5 yuan depending on the altitude. Zhongtianmen's freshly fried egg and chive pancakes, 10 yuan for three, are truly delicious when you're hungry. Meeting the swarthy, muscular porters makes you realize how much it truly feels to work hard!

Jinan is worthy of being called the City of Springs. There are springs at every step and willow trees everywhere. Baotu Spring, as the symbol of Jinan, is a must-see. The living water springs can be seen everywhere and are worth seeing!
Baotu Springs boasts several springs, each with incredibly clear water that's truly refreshing. The ponds are home to koi carp, which swim around in the clear waters, making for a delightful sight and adding a touch of rustic charm. It's also a great place to bring children for water play, as there's a small, shallow area open for treading. I love Baotu Springs; it's unlike any other park attraction.

It is a very interesting museum. Tsingtao Beer has perfectly integrated corporate culture and business. It is fully ornamental, informative and interesting. It is a classic that deserves a five-star recommendation and is well worth a visit!
There are quite a lot of people visiting the Beer Museum in Qingdao. It is divided into Hall A and Hall B. Hall A introduces the development history of Tsingtao Beer, and Hall B shows the beer production and packaging line. You can also experience a cup of raw beer, a cup of pure draft beer, and a bag of beer beans. It is worth a visit.

We took the Yangkou cable car up to the middle of the mountain and then climbed from the middle to the top. It was very hot and I was soaked, but the moment we reached the top was very relaxing. The scenery was very beautiful.
The Yangkou cable car only takes you halfway up the mountain, so to reach Tianyuan Peak you'll need to climb a bit. While the climb is tiring, the moment you reach Tianyuan, all the effort is worth it. The view from the top of the mountain overlooking the beach is breathtaking.

It's a great place worth visiting. It's great to take your kids there. The scenery on the Ferris wheel is beautiful. It's very photogenic to take pictures of your kids. The performances of dolphins, sea lions and seals are also wonderful. It's just that you need to plan your time well, otherwise the whole day will be very tiring.
There were sleeping polar bears, newly seen Antarctic penguins, beluga whales that wouldn't turn back for food, and all sorts of fish. Honestly, the Ferris wheel and ticket prices were a bit steep. But the drone show we saw later was fantastic!

The three Kong scenic areas are connected together, and the central axis of the Confucius Temple is very long. I originally thought that if I don’t take exams or civil service exams, I should not ask for anything and not buy anything. But it’s too early to say that. From 80-year-old people to babies, there is always one that suits you. Who can stop you from getting a good score on the gold list and achieving success? Buy, buy, buy.
The Confucius Temple is the best, highly recommended in terms of both quantity and quality! The Confucius Mansion is not interesting, the official's government office plus the backyard, which may be related to not finding an explanation. The Confucius Forest can be seen

Qingdao Underwater World comprises seven exhibition halls. My favorite is the Dream Jellyfish Palace, the first professional jellyfish exhibition hall in mainland China. It showcases thousands of jellyfish from dozens of species, including moon jellyfish and ribbon jellyfish. It uses interactive virtual walls and mist screen displays to create a dreamlike atmosphere.
I took my kids to Qingdao for a trip. I read online that the Underwater World was recommended. It was really good, and I personally think it's better than the Polar Regions. Haha, you have to go early to see the mermaid show. We went too late and were quite far away, so we could only hear the sound but not see the performance. It was a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance. If you like to watch the show, you can reserve a seat in advance...

The three attractions are all available for a combined ticket. The Turtle Mountain Han Tomb is not large and can be visited in 20 minutes. The Dianshi Garden is outdoors and has a southern garden style. The Holy Office Museum is average and can be visited in a hurry. I ordered a ticket and tour package on Ctrip, but the tour guide was very poor. When I walked to the Dianshi Garden, I waved my finger and said: This is the stone lion. I recommend the paid tour guide in the museum.
Guishan Han Tomb is one of the main attractions of Xuzhou Guishan Scenic Area. It is located on the west foot of Guishan Mountain in Gulou District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is the joint burial tomb of Liu Zhu, the sixth king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty (i.e., 128 BC-116 BC). Guishan Han Tomb is the joint burial tomb of Liu Zhu, the sixth king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty. The tomb is 83 meters long from east to west and 33 meters wide from north to south. The total area is more than 700 square meters, almost hollowing out the entire mountain. There are 15 tombs of different sizes with clear priorities. The bedrooms, living rooms, stables, and kitchens are all available and well-organized. It is an underground palace.

A Day in Liandao, Enchanted by the Seaside
I headed to Liandao for a weekend getaway. The moment I stepped off the bus, the salty, moist sea breeze embraced me, instantly dispelling my travel fatigue.
Stepping onto Dashawan, the golden sand stretched endlessly, its fine sand tingling and soothing on my bare feet. The water was clear, the waves lapped, children played and chased, and adults lay comfortably, creating a truly leisurely scene.
Walking slowly along the coastal boardwalk, I was met with verdant mountains and lush forests on one side, and the shimmering blue sea on the other. The sea breeze, carrying its unique scent, was intoxicating. Arriving at Suma Bay, the place felt even more tranquil. The beach was clean, and shells were scattered across it. I bent down to pick them up with great joy.
In the evening, the sun set, its afterglow tinting the sky and sea a breathtaking orange-red, a breathtaking beauty. Though this trip to Liandao was brief, it has planted a deep fondness in my heart, and I look forward to our next visit.

Enter the park at 8:00 AM, and the entrance fee is 30 yuan. Enter through the main gate and first visit Xingguo Zen Temple, burn incense and pray, and see the Giant Buddha. Then, follow the trail up for half an hour to the summit, where you'll enjoy panoramic views of Jinan and take photos. Descend to Maitreya Garden and see the large-bellied Maitreya Buddha, a truly festive sight.
Water and snacks are available along the way, and the prices are reasonable, making the ascent easier. The entire hike takes about three hours, and you can enjoy a meal of pork in a bowl nearby at noon. Wear comfortable shoes, and wear sunscreen in the summer!
Entrance is free if you ascend before 6:30 AM.
