It is still worth visiting the museum. Hall A talks about the historical predecessor, and Hall B visits the beer production plant and equipment. It’s just that there are too many people during the summer vacation, and I didn’t see it clearly. The 60 yuan pure ticket needs to be booked several days in advance. We came at the last minute and could only choose to buy a package ticket with a ticket + souvenir. The souvenir is a beer with a Peach Garden Oath pattern, which is quite cost-effective. All tickets include 2 glasses of beer, one glass of original juice and one glass of pure draft. In the hot summer, it feels so happy to drink a free glass of ice-cold beer after visiting the museum.
The Tsingtao Beer Museum is fantastic! The first hall showcases the history of beer, with rich and detailed exhibits. The second hall allows you to witness the brewing process firsthand, blending technology with history. You can also taste fresh beer, which has a rich malt aroma. The venue is uniquely decorated with an industrial style. The staff is friendly and welcoming. It is a great place to learn about Tsingtao Beer culture and experience its charm.

The dome theater was fun, but a bit short.
The beluga whale in the Beluga Whale Pavilion was incredibly adorable, and loved to peck at the hair of the floor-cleaning staff.
In polar regions with temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius, renting a down jacket is a must; it'll cure any stubborn person. I was the one who didn't wear a down jacket. I walked in and jogged all the way to the exit; it was so cold. Of course, the jog only took five minutes.
[Scenery] There are many programs, and it is popular on weekends. You still need to come on weekdays, and you have to wait in line for a while. It is recommended to come early during the summer vacation. There are some people eating inside, and the price is high, but it is still rich.

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

There are many kinds of marine life, including penguins, marine mammals, various fish, beluga whales, etc. The dome theater is particularly good and immersive. The view from the Ferris wheel is also very good.
Qingdao Underwater World is amazing! Its ingenious design makes you feel like you've dived into a mysterious ocean. You'll encounter a variety of rare marine life, including schools of colorful tropical fish, majestic giant sharks, and captivating seal performances. The museum also offers a wealth of scientific information, a feast for the eyes and a chance to learn about the ocean. It's a great place for families and ocean enthusiasts.

The zoo is very big. I went in at 9am, watched the animals, ate and played, and came out at 4pm. It was nice to spend the whole day leisurely. It was too hot to go at this time.
As a bridge for harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, the charm of the zoo is reflected in the vibrant ecological landscape, the lively and lovely animal interactions, and the enlightening science education.

It's good to go upstairs during the day, but it's a bit of a loss to go at night because the bottom is full of commercial photos. The ticket price is a bit expensive and not worth it. Beijing is the cheapest among all the scenic spots in China, and the most expensive one is the Summer Palace, which is only 40.
The entrance is on the second floor, where you can climb up and overlook the beautiful scenery of Daming Lake, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery inside the building. Don't miss the group portrait of Lao Can's travel notes on the second floor, and also explore the beautiful scenery on the first floor

Although the ticket price is over 100 yuan, the people of Linyi work hard to make it worth it! The staff are very enthusiastic and the performers are very dedicated. They are not perfunctory, but they really want to make us feel satisfied. Of course, the food is a bit expensive, but it is acceptable. You can eat a full meal for 20 yuan, while a full meal in any city would probably cost 15 yuan.
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!

Taierzhuang Ancient City is famous for "live ancient canal", the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through the city, 15 kilometers of water street water lanes series of Huizhou, northern, southern Anhui and other eight architectural styles, forming "one river fishing fire, ten miles of song" poetic picture. During the night tour, the rocking boat passed through the lights and shadows, the fire dragon steel flower non-legacy performance was shocking, and the Liuqin play was melodious. 53 field relics such as the war site in the ancient city, the General Administration of General Affairs and other sites told the history. After the restoration, Lunan cuisine and Jiangnan style were integrated, and the aroma of yellow beef noodles and spicy chicken was overflowing. The surrounding Shuanglong Lake Wetland Bird Watching Park can enjoy the ecological secret environment. The tickets include unlimited admission for two days, which is very cost-effective.
My kids were playing a game nearby, not too far away, so I came here to check in. My dad has some feelings for this kind of war site, so he wanted to come and take a look. Zaozhuang was too sunny in July, and I couldn't open my eyes the whole time. The streets and toilets seemed clean. A cigarette costs 5 yuan, and the price seems reasonable. Because it was too hot, I didn't see the evening performance. As a foreign tourist, the ticket price of more than 100 yuan is still a bit expensive. The electric car at the entrance of the scenic area. I think I can rent one. It is very powerful uphill and fun to drive. By the way, there is also a canal museum, which is highly recommended~

There is a half-hour documentary explanation, which is great. It is very good for friends who like to visit museums. They can learn a lot. It is also close to other popular attractions and has a good clustering effect!
It was a complete surprise on this trip. I hadn't originally included this place in my travel guide, but it started raining after I came down from Signal Hill. I happened to walk here at the time, so I walked in on a whim. I'm very grateful for this short rain, which allowed me to have such a wonderful visit. There are many rooms to visit in the former site of the Governor's Building, which provide detailed introductions to the history of Qingdao since modern times. Just taking the development of Qingdao's drainage system as an example, I can see the process of Qingdao's transformation from invasion by foreign powers, construction by foreign powers, independent development, and improvement. The various facilities in the Governor's Building also make people admire the wisdom of Chinese and Western architects a hundred years ago. The chandelier on the roof of the second floor weighs one ton, but the ingenious use of fixed pulleys and screws has kept this beautiful chandelier firmly suspended for over a hundred years, and it can still be raised and lowered freely to facilitate maintenance and cleaning... There are countless novel and unforgettable visiting experiences like this, which have become an indelible memory of my trip to Qingdao.
