People from Linyi are still good at playing [Sob] ✅Linyi Wang Xizhi's Former Residence When I went there, it was almost closing time, and there were not many people.

Linyi, formerly known as Langya, is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years. Walking through the streets and alleys of Linyi, you can feel as if you are traveling through time and experiencing the weight and vicissitudes of history. Wang Xizhi's former residence is located at No. 21, Xiyanshi Chi Street, Lanshan District, Linyi City, Shandong Province. It is a complex of classical garden-style buildings. Today, Wang Xizhi's former residence includes four main scenic areas: Yanzhi Huigu, Qu Shui Liu Shang, Xi Yang Pu Zhao, and Qianqiu Wu Xian, as well as Wang Xizhi Exhibition Hall, Wang Xianzhi Exhibition Hall, Wu Xian Temple Exhibition Hall, Goose Pool, and other attractions. It also houses famous inscriptions from both China and abroad, including the Liu Stele, the Langya Five Xian Stele, the Lanting Map, the Seventeen Posts, and the Langya Post. It has become an important place to showcase the life and achievements of Wang Xizhi, the "Sage of Calligraphy". Historically, there was a famous saying about the "Four Loves" of ancient people: "Zhou Dunyi loves lotus, Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums, Meng Haoran loves plum, and Wang Xizhi loves geese". Therefore, a pond called "Goose Pool" was built in Wang Xizhi's former residence. The characters "goose" and "pool" were written by Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, respectively. When you come to Linyi, you must try Linyi's special breakfast—San. San (sá) has a long history. It is said that San was brought to Linyi by a Hui couple from Dadu, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and has been passed down ever since. At first, this delicious breakfast was simply called "meat paste" or "meat porridge". However, during the Qing Dynasty, when Emperor Qianlong traveled south and passed through what is now Tancheng, Linyi, local officials presented him with this unique breakfast. The emperor found it very delicious and asked casually, "What is this (San)?". The local officials nodded and said, "This is what (San), this is what (San)". Therefore, a dialect homophone led to its current name—San. Freshly fried dough sticks are the soul mate of San. Tear the freshly fried dough sticks into small pieces and soak them in San so that they absorb the soup. A bite of dough stick followed by a few sips of hot soup—this is the deliciousness of Linyi people, and it also injects a day's energy into many people who are working hard. Linyi people love chicken, especially stir-fried chicken, which has become a must-have dish for Linyi people to entertain guests. In this city, there is a stir-fried chicken restaurant almost every 500 meters. We went to Xiangmin Stir-fried Chicken, which was highly recommended by a friend. Located at 21 Yimeng Road, Lanshan District, Linyi City, this stir-fried chicken restaurant has a deep cultural and historical background. The restaurant has a unique environment and custom-made tables and chairs, making you feel like you've stepped back in time. Their stir-fried chicken is also a must-try, especially their young rooster and old rooster. The young rooster has a delicate texture and delicious meat. It fully absorbs the flavor of the spices during the stir-frying process. In contrast, the old rooster has a firm texture and a deep flavor, which is more suitable for diners who like a chewy texture. Each piece of meat is full of elasticity, and the aroma released during chewing is endless. Xiangmin Stir-fried Chicken is super large, enough for 3-4 people to enjoy. And, with stir-fried chicken and steamed buns, you can eat and drink to your heart's content. At the same time, Xiangmin Stir-fried Chicken is very reasonably priced, and it is the best value-for-money restaurant we have come across on our trip.

Babies 👋, I found a super beautiful place - Linyi! 🎉 I have always been irresistible to the beautiful scenery of the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. I didn't expect to experience that kind of charm in Linyi. 😃 First came to Wang Xizhi's former residence, and as soon as I entered, it seemed to have traveled through time and space. 🎈 The antique buildings and the quiet environment make people calm down instantly. Walking in it, feeling the breath of history, it's really great. 👍 Here is a big movie with a random shot, and the picture is out 📷, there is no need to deliberately find an angle. Linyi really gave me too many surprises, I strongly recommend everyone to check in. 💖 I believe you will definitely be convinced by the beautiful scenery here. 😎

I recommend a travel course based on the places I visited in Shandong Province, which doesn't seem to have much to offer during the summer vacation season. Day 1: I recommend the night view at Qingdao Wusi Square. When entering China from Korea, if you enter Qingdao Airport, go to Wusi Square and enjoy the surrounding shopping and night view. Day 2: Take the high-speed rail to Linyi from Qingdao West Station or Qingdao North Station, go to Linyi, stay at a hotel near Linyi Tower, and take a walk around Wang Xizhi's birthplace and the Art of War Museum, and visit Langya Ancient City at night, and enjoy performances and night games. There are many places to eat near Langya Ancient City and a large parking lot. Day 3: Climb Yimeng Mountain, which is about 2 hours away from Linyi. There are many ways to climb to the summit and come down, which is 1,190m above sea level. At the summit, you can feel like you're in the sky, and paragliding is also possible.
