Mount Tai's Winter Rime Ice Spectacular
Saved by 261 users16118 positive reviews

As the most majestic of the Five Great Mountains, it attracts countless visitors. We chose the less strenuous route, taking a bus from Tianwai Village to Zhongtianmen, then taking the cable car up the mountain, walking down to Zhongtianmen, and then taking another bus to the base of the mountain. The total journey took six hours. There are many cliff carvings and the mountain scenery is breathtaking, making it worth a visit. Many people reach the summit from Hongmen, so those with more stamina should try this.
Mount Tai is a must-climb at least once in your life. The scenery is breathtaking, and it's a real test of willpower. The path up is shady and the food is really affordable. Cucumbers are 10 yuan for four days, and water is also affordable, 2-5 yuan depending on the altitude. Zhongtianmen's freshly fried egg and chive pancakes, 10 yuan for three, are truly delicious when you're hungry. Meeting the swarthy, muscular porters makes you realize how much it truly feels to work hard!

It is a very interesting museum. Tsingtao Beer has perfectly integrated corporate culture and business. It is fully ornamental, informative and interesting. It is a classic that deserves a five-star recommendation and is well worth a visit!
There are quite a lot of people visiting the Beer Museum in Qingdao. It is divided into Hall A and Hall B. Hall A introduces the development history of Tsingtao Beer, and Hall B shows the beer production and packaging line. You can also experience a cup of raw beer, a cup of pure draft beer, and a bag of beer beans. It is worth a visit.

The three Kong scenic areas are connected together, and the central axis of the Confucius Temple is very long. I originally thought that if I don’t take exams or civil service exams, I should not ask for anything and not buy anything. But it’s too early to say that. From 80-year-old people to babies, there is always one that suits you. Who can stop you from getting a good score on the gold list and achieving success? Buy, buy, buy.
The Confucius Temple is the best, highly recommended in terms of both quantity and quality! The Confucius Mansion is not interesting, the official's government office plus the backyard, which may be related to not finding an explanation. The Confucius Forest can be seen

Qingdao Underwater World comprises seven exhibition halls. My favorite is the Dream Jellyfish Palace, the first professional jellyfish exhibition hall in mainland China. It showcases thousands of jellyfish from dozens of species, including moon jellyfish and ribbon jellyfish. It uses interactive virtual walls and mist screen displays to create a dreamlike atmosphere.
I took my kids to Qingdao for a trip. I read online that the Underwater World was recommended. It was really good, and I personally think it's better than the Polar Regions. Haha, you have to go early to see the mermaid show. We went too late and were quite far away, so we could only hear the sound but not see the performance. It was a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance. If you like to watch the show, you can reserve a seat in advance...

The three attractions are all available for a combined ticket. The Turtle Mountain Han Tomb is not large and can be visited in 20 minutes. The Dianshi Garden is outdoors and has a southern garden style. The Holy Office Museum is average and can be visited in a hurry. I ordered a ticket and tour package on Ctrip, but the tour guide was very poor. When I walked to the Dianshi Garden, I waved my finger and said: This is the stone lion. I recommend the paid tour guide in the museum.
Guishan Han Tomb is one of the main attractions of Xuzhou Guishan Scenic Area. It is located on the west foot of Guishan Mountain in Gulou District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is the joint burial tomb of Liu Zhu, the sixth king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty (i.e., 128 BC-116 BC). Guishan Han Tomb is the joint burial tomb of Liu Zhu, the sixth king of Chu in the Western Han Dynasty. The tomb is 83 meters long from east to west and 33 meters wide from north to south. The total area is more than 700 square meters, almost hollowing out the entire mountain. There are 15 tombs of different sizes with clear priorities. The bedrooms, living rooms, stables, and kitchens are all available and well-organized. It is an underground palace.

A Day in Liandao, Enchanted by the Seaside
I headed to Liandao for a weekend getaway. The moment I stepped off the bus, the salty, moist sea breeze embraced me, instantly dispelling my travel fatigue.
Stepping onto Dashawan, the golden sand stretched endlessly, its fine sand tingling and soothing on my bare feet. The water was clear, the waves lapped, children played and chased, and adults lay comfortably, creating a truly leisurely scene.
Walking slowly along the coastal boardwalk, I was met with verdant mountains and lush forests on one side, and the shimmering blue sea on the other. The sea breeze, carrying its unique scent, was intoxicating. Arriving at Suma Bay, the place felt even more tranquil. The beach was clean, and shells were scattered across it. I bent down to pick them up with great joy.
In the evening, the sun set, its afterglow tinting the sky and sea a breathtaking orange-red, a breathtaking beauty. Though this trip to Liandao was brief, it has planted a deep fondness in my heart, and I look forward to our next visit.

It was absolutely amazing! The kids loved their visit to the TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park. The dazzling fireworks were dazzling. We arrived around 6 PM and were worried we wouldn't be able to see the aircraft carrier after the fireworks. The staff patiently explained the evening tour after 9 PM, which was a real surprise and exceeded our expectations! Although we didn't get to see the more exciting live roller coaster shows, it wasn't a big deal.
It was my first time here, and I felt the glory of the former Soviet Red Navy, visited the Chinese Navy's meritorious warship 133 Chongqing, and saw the most exciting fireworks show. The overall feeling was very good.

Excellent! The program was fantastic, with a tight schedule. The three main programs were: National Show Langya, Water Show, and Only Langya. The locals were very welcoming! Worth a visit! The only downside was that there was no entertainment after 10 p.m. A small bar would have been nice to sit and have a drink. Also, don't ask if we scored a goal just because we're from Changzhou. That's heartbreaking!
Wu Tiao Ren Tangshui Pu, everyone decisively avoids the pit, the ordering pictures and the actual food are completely different, all are pre-prepared dishes, you can experience it yourself! The performances in the scenic area, Guoxiu is quite good, but the service is not good. I have seen bad food, and this is the first time I have encountered pre-prepared dishes! I am convinced!

Lianyungang's Huaguoshan Mountain is a true paradise on earth—once you've arrived, you won't want to leave!
Upon entering the scenic area, the antique gate contrasts beautifully with the surrounding lush greenery, instantly transporting you away from the hustle and bustle of the world. A scenic bus winds its way up the mountain, its thrilling S-bends leaving you screaming with delight. The mountain scenery is breathtaking, with trees shading the sky, sunlight filtering through the leaves, creating a play of light and shadow.
The Water Curtain Cave lives up to its reputation. Even before you approach, you can hear the roar of the cascading waterfall, a white curtain of water shimmering in the sunlight. The cave is cool and moist, akin to a fairyland. Climbing Yunv Peak, Jiangsu's highest peak, offers a breathtaking view of rolling hills, lush forests, and the distant ocean.
Not only is the natural scenery here stunning, but it's also imbued with the cultural atmosphere of Journey to the West. Elements of the Monkey King can be seen everywhere, making it feel like you've stepped into the world of Journey to the West. Huaguo Mountain is truly a place worth visiting again and again!
Fortunately, it didn't rain, so overall, it was okay. I bought a round-trip bus ticket and took the bus up to Yunv Peak, then to Sanyuan Palace and on to Shuilian Cave. I misunderstood rumors and took a small path, which ended up taking quite a bit more. When I saw the extremely high stairs, I went straight up instead of taking the detour, which would have made the walk even longer.
Shuilian Cave was full of monkeys, but they were generally very docile. Overall, it was a good experience.

Badaguan is a famous tourist attraction in Qingdao. The Butterfly Building, Princess Building and Spanish Style Building are very famous. You can buy a combined ticket to visit them. The three buildings have their own characteristics and unique historical style, which are worth visiting. It is very photogenic here. You can also increase your knowledge and learn a lot of cultural connotations by visiting. In general, Badaguan is worth visiting.
Let's say that the autumn of Badaguan is ceiling level! The maple trees on Jiayuguan Road are red like fire, and the yellow leaves on Ningwuguan Road are bright, and they rustle on the fallen leaves. At the corner, I met new people taking wedding photos. The white yarn was matched with a red wall, which was beautiful. Pick up the ginkgo leaves in the book and bring the taste of autumn home.
