I tried all the activities (the package didn't include rafting). The cost per person was 260 yuan. It's a little-known attraction, but very fun. There's a shuttle bus available at your own expense. The Dragon Palace Cave requires a bit of stamina, so it's perfect for those who enjoy hiking.
My friends and I went there for a thrilling check-in, and we were blown away by the Bronze Mountain Glass Bridge! Standing on the bridge and looking down, the canyon abyss loomed before our eyes. The adrenaline raced as the bridge swayed, and we took photos and posted them on Instagram, earning numerous inquiries like, "Where is this?!"
We followed the walking meditation path along the mountainside, feeling the mountain breeze on our left and the canyon panorama on our right. Every step was filled with leg-weakening excitement. Passing by the canyon grottoes, the combination of hidden caves and rock carvings evoked a sense of mystery. Shining our phone's flashlight over them, the sense of history washed over us.
We unexpectedly discovered the largest Buddha statue in Qilu, a truly breathtaking sight. Hidden within the mountain, the sight of it serenely hushed as we looked up. The splashing water from the dragon's spitting water and the creative coin-shaped water feature transformed our visit from thrill-seeking to immersive!
The ticket covers so many attractions (sculptures, the plank road, the grottoes, the Buddha statue...), and the value for money is amazing! I kept shouting "exciting" and "beautiful" throughout the whole process. My friend said that he would bring his parents to brush up on the humanities line next time.

A hidden gem! Just a half-hour drive from Mount Tai, it's surprisingly sparsely populated even during the peak summer season. It's truly a genuine ancient temple. The glazed-tiled main hall remains unrenovated, preserving its pristine appearance. The vividly colored arhat sculptures within are truly one-of-a-kind treasures! There's also a Pizhi pagoda, a gatehouse embracing ancient tree roots, and… Surrounded by mountains, it's a truly wonderful place!
Lingyan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple hidden in the mountains, exudes tranquility and sacredness. Its magnificent ancient buildings, with carved beams and painted rafters, evoke a sense of history. The towering Pizhi Pagoda bears witness to the passage of time. The vividly colored sculptures of Arhats within the Thousand Buddha Hall are of immense artistic value. Surrounded by mountains and forests, the serene environment offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle, allowing visitors to experience a unique sense of tranquility and Zen.

Jinan Red Leaf Valley is a national 4A-level scenic spot located in the southern mountainous area and is famous for its beautiful scenery in all seasons. In autumn, the mountains are all red, and the sea of cotinus is dyed with layers of forests, which can be called a poetic portrayal of "frost leaves are redder than February flowers". In spring, the tulip sea spreads over the European-style valley, and millions of Dutch tulips and windmill sculptures complement each other, just like Monet's dream garden. In summer, the valley is lush and green, with waterfalls and springs, and the negative oxygen ion content is as high as 300 times that of the urban area, making it a summer resort; in winter, the snow covers the green pines and the fragrance of winter plums floats, creating a unique artistic conception. In the scenic area, the Autumn Lake is as blue as a mirror, and the Wanye Tower is a high-altitude glass drifting, rainbow slide and other interesting projects. The transportation is convenient, and it can be reached by car or bus, which is suitable for family travel, photography and leisure.
Yuqiu Lake: Watch the central attraction of red leaves, the red leaves reflect the lake, you can enjoy the pavilion or boat. Wanye Tower: Located at the height of the scenic spot, you can climb the red leaves overlooking the valley, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of "like burning, not because of fire, like flowers do not wait for spring". Tianquyuan: There are a large number of rare and exotic birds, such as black swans, green ducks, egrets, etc., and hundreds of free-range peacocks can also be seen to participate in feeding interaction. Xingjiao Temple: The quaint temple has a holy water spring, one of Jinan's 72 springs. There are also many springs such as Cangming Spring and Shuiqu Spring in the scenic area.

Finally saw Xia Yuhe. It was summer vacation, so the flow of people was relatively large. I didn't finish visiting all of them because it was quite large and the weather was hot. Overall, the cost performance was high. I sent postcards, took photos of Xia Yuhe, and climbed Chaoran Tower. Because I was with my child, I took a walk and rest.
Daming Lake is really a good lake, it can be said to be the spiritual habitat of Jinan people. Walking here, there is a special atmosphere, the water scenery along the way is picturesque, there are many places to visit nearby, and the cultural history is full of charm. However, be sure to choose the time period and day, do a good job of sun protection, lightly dressed, stop and stop. When it is too hot, the experience is really bad. But anyway, it is worth it to visit here.
