Mount Tai's Winter Rime Ice Spectacular

The summit of the Five Great Mountains is a must-see. Plus, the wind was so strong online, so the family, young and old, opted for a lazy hike: a shuttle bus and cable car, then a short hike on their own. The shuttle bus cost 40 yuan, one way! That's a rip-off for just a short distance. The cable car cost 100 yuan one way, so we had to buy a new one for the return trip. The weather wasn't great, sometimes cloudy, sometimes sunny, and everywhere was crowded. It felt like we'd just had to be there.
Mount Tai is worth climbing. For those who are up for a challenge but have limited abilities, I recommend hiking up and taking the cable car and bus down. I started with my kids at 8:15 AM and reached Jade Emperor Peak at 4 PM. We didn't need to bring food or drinks, as they were heavy. We stopped along the way, bought water at food stalls, and then bought some food a few hours later, which wasn't expensive. However, I recommend arriving early, as after reaching Nantianmen, there are several scenic spots on the summit, and visiting them all takes at least an hour. Since we wanted to take the cable car down, which runs until 6 PM, we needed to allow at least an hour to queue, which wouldn't be enough time to visit all the attractions.

Baotu Spring really exceeded my expectations. Although there were many tourists, when your eyes touched the spring water, all the sounds around you disappeared. The whole scenic area was a blend of flowing spring water and lush woods. It was wonderful!
Located on Baotu Spring Road in Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, it faces Quancheng Square to the east and Wulongtan to the north. It's the first of Jinan's 72 famous springs and a representative of artesian karst springs, sourced from the Ordovician karst aquifer south of the city. Well worth a visit!

As an ancient city in the north, U has history, precipitation, and its own tone. But the regret is the consumption in the scenic spots, especially the money houses. It feels very bad to buy gold ingots.
Generally speaking it's OK, the transportation is relatively convenient, but try not to take the sightseeing bus or chartered bus, as they will rip you off and end up taking you to buy wine and vinegar and rip you off. Although the ticket for the Encore Pingyao performance is a bit expensive, it is very shocking and touching, and definitely worth seeing!

Entering the garden, a sense of time and space washes over you. The profound and ancient scenery invites a sigh of admiration for the wisdom and ingenuity of our ancestors. Walking slowly and carefully with awe, the slanting wind and drizzle cannot conceal a sense of melancholy. So many memories of the past are scattered among the flowers, plants, carved railings and painted buildings. The feeling of helplessness of picking up flowers in the morning and picking them up in the evening embodies the saying, "The carved railings and jade steps should still be there, only their faces have changed." The passage of history is ultimately just the passing dust of time and space, each brick and tile telling the story of joys and sorrows.
Enter the Jinci Museum through the beautiful park. The exquisite architecture and vivid clay sculptures make people linger. There are rest corridors everywhere in the scenic area, which is very friendly to the elderly and children.

The scenic area is well planned, with performances one after another. If you watch them all, you really won't have enough time. The Jingdong Defense War and Yue Fei's spear-to-kill Liang Wang are worth seeing, but you won't be able to see them if it's too crowded late. The snacks inside are rich and inexpensive, and the overall impression is very good.
Qingming Shanghe Park has many performances and a large park, making it worth a visit. The "Dream of the Capital of the Song Dynasty" performance is magnificent and rich in content, and is recommended. In the summer, during the daytime, there are cooling sprays. Popular performances such as "Iron Flower" and "Yue Fei Challenges the Young King of Liang" are recommended to arrive early to reserve seats.

This was my kids' favorite scenic spot on this trip. They couldn't get enough of it in just three days, and even after leaving for several days, they kept nagging about going back. The scenic area really offers performances of all sizes, and the quality is excellent. The NPCs are very engaging and interactive. It's absolutely worth it, and the ticket price is very affordable. Five-star rating.
In the central Water Margin and Xianxia areas, there must be a stage within a hundred meters, and there must be a performance on the stage, no matter how many or few spectators there are. Moreover, the performances are not repeated, and there will be different performances at different time periods. Many times, when we walk around after watching a performance, there will be a different performance when we come back, so we will not be bored at all.

The park is clean and tidy. Although the weather is hot, the waiting time is acceptable. Most of the park has sheds to shade the sun.
A breathtaking experience! This immersive journey through the loess labyrinth interweaves grand narratives (famine, sacrifice, and resilience) with microcosmic details (such as those of Lijia Village and the train station), striking the heart. It deeply reveals Henan's memory of suffering and resilience, and passionately celebrates the cultural roots and endless vitality of the Central Plains. Innovative in form and powerful in emotion, it evokes a profound resonance of land, history, and life.

If you have faith, go to Mount Wutai. If you like taking photos, go to Mount Wutai. If you hike, you must climb to the Big Snail Peak. Climb the 1,008 steps to see all the other mountains. The mountain is in the clouds, the temple is in the mountain, and you are in the temple.
🌿 August Zhangzhou Wutai Mountain Travel Review 🌿 1️⃣ The climate is pleasant, the summer resort Wutai Mountain has a high altitude, and the average temperature in August is between 10℃-20℃, and the maximum temperature rarely exceeds 25℃. It is a great choice for summer summer in North China. 2️⃣ The Buddhist culture is deep as the head of China's four famous Buddhist mountains, and Wutai Mountain has a rich Buddhist cultural heritage. Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Bodhisattva Ding and other temples have a long history and magnificent architecture, which is a good place to feel Buddhist culture. 3️⃣ Wutai Mountain is composed of a series of mountains and peaks. The top of the five platforms has a wide view and spectacular scenery. Dongtai Wanghaifeng can watch the sunrise and clouds. Beitai Yedoufeng is the highest peak in North China, and it has snow all year round. 4️⃣ Convenient transportation from Taiyuan Wusu Airport by bus to Wutai Mountain Scenic Area, about 3 hours by car; from Beijing Liuliqiao by long-distance bus, about 5 hours by car, convenient transportation. 5️⃣ Rich activities - Tour to Taiwan: You can choose to walk five Taiwans, the whole journey is about 50 kilometers, it takes 2-3 days to experience a deep pilgrimage. - Zen beauty hotel: The top of the mountain temple can hang orders to stay and experience the temple life; there are many Zen homestays to choose from at the foot of the mountain. 6️⃣ Practical Tips - Tickets: 135 yuan in peak season, 118 yuan in off-season, half price for students and the elderly. - Accommodation: It is recommended to book in advance, especially in peak season. - Food: The price of food and beverages in the scenic area is high, it is recommended to bring some dry food and water. 🌟 In summary, Wutai Mountain is a place that integrates natural scenery and Buddhist culture. Whether it is summer vacation, pilgrimage or hiking, it can meet your needs.

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.

Hiring a guide is a must for this scenic spot. Although the guides were a bit pushy at the entrance, they were paid for in person and provided excellent explanations. They also provided good answers to questions that went beyond the outline. The Confucius Temple is worth a leisurely stroll; it felt like every stone slab had a story. By the time I reached the Confucius Mansion, I was a bit exhausted and only had a quick look. From there, I walked east and, near the intersection with the Yan Temple, I found a teahouse on the second floor of the Ctrip Experience Center for some refreshment. The teahouse offers a view of the Yan Temple, a perfect tranquil spot amidst the bustle.
Personally, I think the ticket price is a bit expensive, but the tour guide I bought on the Ctrip app was very good. The explanation was both interesting and informative, and he took great care of everyone throughout the trip. The price-performance ratio was super high. Although the weather was very hot, I enjoyed the whole tour very much, and it was worth the trip.
