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.
The entrance fee to Mount Tai is quite expensive, but it's valid for three days. I plan to climb it again the day after tomorrow. The scenery is so-so, but the summit is nice. Online reviews make Mount Tai seem too difficult; I think it's easier than Mount Heng. Most prices on the mountain are well-controlled; even hot water costs extra. However, today there were students on an autumn outing, and one student asked about a stall selling oranges for 15 yuan each. I don't know if that's the norm or if they're ripping people off.

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 Perhaps due to its outdated design, it lacks originality and contemporary innovation, and compared to shows like the Fantasy City Theater in Henan, it doesn't justify the price.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.

Absolutely worth it! The first day was cloudy 🌥️, but the third day the sun came out and I came back again.
It's so incredibly beautiful! I will forever love autumn in the North!
So gorgeous!
A must-see attraction in Jinan, it's incredibly crowded. Visiting on a weekend made it even more packed. If you're driving, park at Quancheng Square; it's just a few minutes' walk from there. I booked my tickets in advance on Ctrip, so entering was easy – just scan the code!

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.

As expected of a top-ranked hotel on Ctrip, this hotel was the perfect choice for a family trip with our elders. From the ambiance to the service and dining, everything exceeded our expectations – a 10/10! Built by the lake, the hotel exudes the unique elegance of Jiangnan. Opening the window reveals shimmering lake views, and a gentle breeze carries the fresh scent of water. The grounds are dotted with pavilions and terraces, winding paths through lush greenery, and wide, smooth walkways with plenty of wooden benches, making leisurely strolls and sightseeing effortless for our elders. The tranquil atmosphere, away from the city's hustle and bustle, ensured our elders slept soundly every night. The rooms were excellently soundproofed, with warm, soft lighting that wasn't glaring. The furniture had rounded edges, and the bathroom thoughtfully included a non-slip mat, a bath stool, and safety handrails. The vanity height was also adjusted for our elders – these age-friendly details ensured their safety. The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of fresh, odorless ingredients with mild seasonings, perfect for our elders' palates. The buffet dinner featured local lake delicacies and authentic Hangzhou cuisine, with a diverse selection of seafood, grilled meats, and desserts. The ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The dining environment was elegant and quiet, with spacious tables that allowed seniors to move around easily. The staff promptly refilled tea and changed plates, making the experience effortless. Special praise goes to Ms. Xu, the Guest Relations Manager, who arranged a room on a lower floor near the elevator before check-in. As a benchmark hotel in Zhejiang, the Xizi Hotel perfectly met all the needs of traveling with elderly guests, thanks to its lake views, age-friendly details, high-quality food, and attentive service. Ms. Xu's professionalism and dedication made this trip to Jiangnan exceptionally comfortable and smooth.
This is a historically significant place. I followed the designated tour route and learned about Confucius's life and achievements. The most stunning sight was the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, its golden leaves breathtakingly beautiful. However, external management needs improvement; a bunch of tour guides were chasing after customers, which wasn't a pleasant experience! The street was also severely congested!

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.

I spent a whole day exploring Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. Because it was the off-season, there weren't too many people, and the overall travel experience was quite good. The scenic area is quite unique, with mountains and water complementing each other, especially the view from the entrance of Hongshixia Gorge, which is truly beautiful. Although it's a scenic area, the food prices inside were reasonable, and the staff I encountered were all very dedicated.

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.
