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.

🎆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.

The park covers a large area, and besides walking 🚶, you can choose different ways to explore according to your needs. You can take the "bus" 🚌 at various stations, book four themed cars for the day, drive a private car, and drive a train, but each method has different routes. In the summer, it is really popular. Even on weekdays, there are many people. It is almost impossible to book a car when you arrive. If you want to plan ahead, you must book in advance. If you are traveling with children from or to Beijing Daxing Airport, this is a great place to go. After all, Beijingers think it is too far 😂
Highly recommended, the driver and tour guide were excellent! They took us through all the attractions, allowing us to experience the silky smooth ride without waiting in line, and even interact with many small animals up close! It's not easy to visit Beijing once, so make sure to arrange it well!

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.

Overall it's OK, it's like a combination of Yunlong Ground Fissure and Pingshan Grand Canyon. I chose to take a boat in and out, the mountain part is not interesting, it's all about changing transportation.
It's a great place worth visiting, with a variety of experiences throughout the whole process. Starting from the free bus ~ small transportation within the courtyard ~ boat ride ~ stable and long cable car experience ~ first time riding the sky bus ~ a one-minute elevator that reflects the technological content. I didn't feel tired at the end of the tour, and it is more suitable for the elderly to play together.

Kaifeng Mansion is well worth visiting. - In terms of cultural inheritance and promotion: Kaifeng Mansion is the best way to revitalize and promote Bao Gong culture. Relying on the powerful cultural IP of Bao Gong culture, it uses architectural layout, exhibitions, cultural activities and other forms to fully display Bao Gong's spirit of "loyalty, filial piety, love for the people, fairness and integrity" as well as the Northern Song Dynasty government culture and the Song Dynasty culture, allowing tourists to deeply understand and feel the charm of historical culture, and playing a positive role in inheriting and promoting traditional culture.
I went to Kaifeng to check in at Kaifeng Mansion. I hired a tour guide at the door for 80 yuan so that the children could learn more about history. I watched almost all the performances inside according to the schedule, but there were too many people in the peak season and I didn’t watch the greeting at the door. I feel that this season is more suitable for visiting in the afternoon and evening.

The marvel of the Guishan Han Tomb lies in how the ancients meticulously carved such a straight passage 2,000 years ago, crafted the massive stone blocks to fit perfectly together, and stacked the blocks, each weighing several tons, onto the passage. The scale of the work was so immense that it practically hollowed out the entire Guishan Mountain. The precision of the work is truly breathtaking.

Tianjin Aircraft Carrier Park is truly breathtaking! The sheer size of the Kiev aircraft carrier is truly impressive. Boarding the ship offers a close-up look at the bridge, ammunition depot, and the aircraft and weaponry displays are truly captivating. It's an immersive experience, offering both military insights and a glimpse into the power of coastal defense. Whether you're looking to educate your children or are a military enthusiast, this is a must-see!
It's a worthwhile trip for children and the elderly. The explanations are detailed, the Russian-style street is full of goods, and the aircraft carrier knowledge broadens your horizons. The vast sea and the powerful fleet of aircraft carriers at sea make you feel like you're right there in the middle of it. It's definitely worth experiencing the activities.
