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🤙👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!

This scenic spot is truly worth visiting! The moment you enter, you're surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air. The trails are well-maintained, with clear signage along the way, so you never have to worry about getting lost. The scenery at the core attractions is absolutely stunning, with pictures of the picturesque mountains and clear waters that could easily be wallpapered. Even the children in my group were delighted.
The staff were also very friendly and patiently answered my questions. The rest areas and restrooms in the scenic area were very clean. After a long walk, it was wonderful to rest in the shade and enjoy the gentle breeze. The overall experience was fantastic, and I've already put it on my list for a future visit with friends.
Jinan's Baotu Spring in spring is a perfect destination for couples, with many highlights to experience:
- Beautiful Natural Scenery: Spring boasts abundant rainfall, and the spring's water gushes at its highest levels, with three jets reaching half a meter high and creating a majestic spectacle. Beside the spring, weeping willows are beginning to sprout new green leaves, their branches gently brushing the water, creating a striking contrast with the quaint architecture. Within the gardens, magnolias, apricot blossoms, cherry blossoms, and crabapple trees bloom in succession, their petals drifting into the spring, swirling with the current, creating a scene where time seems to have slowed down.
- Rich Cultural Atmosphere: The Baotu Spring scenic area houses the Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall, a charming and quaint place. The Shuyu Spring at its entrance is said to have been her inspiration, offering couples a chance to immerse themselves in the elegance and talent of this talented woman. Wanzhu Garden is another hidden gem, with its canopy of bamboo groves and winding corridors, imbued with a classical charm.
- A Variety of Activities: From late March to early April, there are frequent "Spring Tea Gatherings," where couples can experience the traditional art of brewing tea with Baotu Spring water and enjoy a relaxing and relaxing time. Additionally, there may be folk performances within the park, such as shadow puppetry and Shandong Kuaishu, allowing couples to experience the charm of local traditional culture during their visit.
- A Photo Spot: In spring, the blossoms of Baotu Spring are in full bloom, creating a perfect frame for the ancient buildings. Couples wearing light-colored Hanfu or modern Chinese clothing will find stunning photos here, creating romantic and beautiful memories.
- Convenient Surroundings: Baotu Spring enjoys convenient transportation, with direct access via Metro Line 2, a 5-minute walk from the station. Also about a 5-minute walk from the north gate are restaurants like "Lao Zhou's Beef Shaobing," where you can enjoy authentic Jinan breakfast dishes such as beef shaobing and sweet rice cakes, adding a delicious touch to your couple's trip.

It's a must-see attraction, so there are a lot of people. Summer vacation is the peak season. There are still a lot of people at the entrance after 5 o'clock. The road is jammed. I went directly to the opposite side and took the bus. There was a surprise. We were going to see Rumeng Jinyang in the evening. The bus can go directly to the entrance of Jin Temple. There are few people and the bus is fast, which is beyond our expectations.
When you come to Shanxi, you must visit the Jin Temple. The heavy sense of history there cannot be compared with the so-called ancient cities today. Only by coming here can you feel the sedimentation of history and the traces of time.

Pingyao Ancient City's well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty appearance is breathtaking, with majestic city walls and quaint streets. As the birthplace of Shanxi merchants, it boasts a wealth of historical relics, including banknote exchanges and escort agencies, showcasing ancient Chinese finance and market culture. This rich historical heritage makes it a highly recommended visit.
You absolutely have to buy a pass, otherwise what's the point of visiting? Even with a pass, you wouldn't be able to see everything in two days. My favorite part is the Ma Family Courtyard. The county government office is huge, and you can see the prison, something ordinary people couldn't see before. Exit the South Gate before 8 p.m. and wait for the light show.

🎆The lights of Bianliang reflect the starry sky, and the prosperity of Tokyo never fades. Walking in the Qingming Shanghe Park really feels like traveling back to the Song Dynasty. The park is very large and the experience is very immersive. The NPCs and actors are also very dedicated and very immersive. I can't bear to leave here after two days of playing.
Excellent! We went in the afternoon, mainly because it was too hot with the kids. The night view is stunning! So beautiful! Words can't describe it! Many shows were sold out by the time we arrived in the afternoon, but the iron flower show was the best. I saw it twice in the evening and it was so beautiful and breathtaking! That alone was worth the price of admission! The night view is also truly stunning! Although we missed many of the daytime shows, the evening view was also fantastic and well worth it! We went in at 6pm and left at 9:30pm! We also went to the Drum Tower Night Market, where there's a 2 yuan bus that goes directly there! Qingming Shanghe Park is definitely worth a return visit next time! Kaifeng as a city is worth it too! I loved it! The whole family loved it!

Aside from the crowds and short performances, everything else was great. I spent the last two days at Shenzhou Square watching the iron flower show, watching show after show, and still not satisfied. I've made plans to come back next year. I missed the "Three Strikes of Zhujiazhuang," but the iron flower show at Shenzhou Square is even better. Whenever there's a show, it's packed. Even when I go out at night, it's completely packed with tricycles and snack vendors, and the grounds are littered with trash. I hope the government will clean up the market and provide a better experience for tourists.
Wansui Mountain Wuxia City is the most cost-effective in the whole Kaifeng. It is too big and the most sincere scenic spot. The scenic spots inside are rich in layers and have their own characteristics. It is the only place worth visiting in Kaifeng. Qingming Shanghe Park is not as good as this.

一个人出来旅游，第一次来郑州，感觉一切都非常好，物价便宜，郑州的人民都很热情。景区里的每一部剧都能给我带来不同的惊喜和震撼，工作人员很热情，每个角落都很干净，包括厕所都很干净没有异味，每次去上厕所都能看到阿姨在搞卫生，而且这是我第一次到一个景区没有闻过一次烟味。真的很赞!
The overall feeling is not bad. The hot weather and strong sun affect the experience. Many theaters have to queue for a long time. The children's ticket price is a bit high. The service staff is very good. The toilets and other supporting facilities are complete. The whole park is clean and comfortable.

Zhang Yimou's film "Raise the Red Lantern" has immortalized the red lanterns of the Qiao Family Compound in our hearts.
The once-popular TV series "Qiao Family Compound" further showcases the cultural heritage of this compound and the legacy of the Qiao family, a prominent Shanxi merchant family.
The Qiao Family Compound boasts a rigorous layout, ingenious design, and meticulously crafted bricks and tiles, meticulously crafted with detailed brackets and eaves, and richly decorated with gold.
The entire compound is awash with brick, wood, and stone carvings. Various motifs symbolizing auspiciousness, enlightenment, and hope adorn the door lintels, beams, guardrails, eaves, window frames, and screen walls. The courtyard is imbued with a humanistic charm and a vibrant spirit.
It was my first time to see the Shanxi Courtyard, and I was quite shocked. I heard from the tour guide some interesting stories about why the Qiao Family Courtyard is so famous and why the ticket is the most expensive in the courtyard.

The Three Gorges has beautiful scenery and profound cultural heritage. The tour guide Liu Yanyan is very serious and responsible. She explains things very carefully and meticulously. She is very good at answering questions from tourists. I highly recommend it.
The Three Confucius Temples Scenic Area consists of the Confucius Mansion, Confucius Temple and Confucius Cemetery. Relatively speaking, the Confucius Temple is the most worth visiting, followed by the Confucius Mansion and Confucius Cemetery. The entire scenic area is not far away from each other, but it has too strong a commercial atmosphere and lacks an academic atmosphere.

You have to go to the thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple and Shaolin Kung Fu. I finally realized what I had longed for. I ate vegetarian food, which was delicious. I also watched the Shaolin Kung Fu performance (it is recommended to reserve a seat early). It was very exciting. I took the cable car to see the highlight, the Book Cliff, which was very spectacular.
Shaolin Temple is incredibly famous. We visited the pagoda forest, the main training hall, and enjoyed a performance by Shaolin monks. I was particularly impressed by the two stone tablets at the entrance, inscribed with the lyrics and music from the films "Shepherd's Song" and "Shaolin Temple." These two songs are destined for immortality.
