    I experienced a role-playing game that seamlessly blended gameplay with a virtual tour. It allowed me to immerse myself in the history of the Qingdao Brewery while also witnessing its modern development. It was a fantastic experience, highly recommended!

    Family, you absolutely can't miss the Underwater World when you come to Qingdao, especially that nearly 100-meter-long underwater tunnel! It's really amazing! Tickets are available now! Here's a guide for you: Copy Ticket Purchase Guide Tickets can be purchased in advance through the official WeChat account or major travel platforms. A general admission ticket is 170 yuan, with student discounts available. There might be queues at the ticket counter, so buying in advance is much more convenient. Itinerary We recommend starting with the Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, where the colorful jellyfish under the lights create a dreamlike scene, perfect for taking photos. Next, head to the Seal Pavilion to see the adorable seals. Now for the highlights: the Marine Life Pavilion and Whale Pavilion have many precious specimens, where you can learn a lot about the ocean. Then, there's the incredible underwater tunnel! Stretching nearly 100 meters, walking in feels like being surrounded by fish from every angle, with sharks, turtles, and rays swimming right beside you—the feeling is indescribable. It's also a great place for taking photos; even a simple shot on the escalator has a great atmosphere. Finally, head to the freshwater aquarium to see some unique freshwater creatures. Show Times: Don't forget to check the times for the mermaid show and the shark and human show; they're spectacular. Arrive half an hour early to secure a good front-row seat.

    A perfect place to spend the weekend with kids, featuring all sorts of marine animals that children love. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and there's plenty of delicious food available. The kids especially enjoyed the marine show. We'll definitely come back!!!

    I picked it up on a weekend in early November. It wasn't crowded, the temperature was perfect, and it was very comfortable to stroll around. From feeding the animals at the entrance to leaving, I didn't have time to take pictures. You can sneak some in! 🤫 Saves a lot of money! 😁 The only downside is the non-motorized playground for kids. 😜 Free parking is such a great deal! Parking tip: Use the Jiajiayuan parking lot as your navigation. It's a short walk from the exit when you're tired. 😂

    I went there around 3:00 PM on National Day. I didn't check the schedule and just wandered around the park, catching whatever I could. I saw a performance called "Defending the Last Chicken of Langya" and a juggler. That evening, I went to see the National Show Langya, which was truly wonderful. I went straight to the Water Show. The line was incredibly long, and once inside, only seats were left at the side, but that was fine; I could see everything. I only saw the first act of Langya. I watched acts two, three, and four from the periphery. It rained intermittently, and I left the park at 9:30 AM, missing the final fireworks display.

    Daming Lake truly lives up to its reputation as the Pearl of Jinan! The scenery of "lotuses on all four sides and willows on three" is indeed breathtaking. The lake is wide and clear, with weeping willows swaying gently, and pavilions and ancient buildings scattered in a picturesque manner. Strolling along the lakeside, a gentle breeze caresses your face, filling you with poetic and picturesque beauty, and allowing you to experience its profound cultural heritage. It's free to enter, which is incredibly generous. A visit here is a pleasant and relaxing experience, definitely worthwhile!

    This was our first time bringing our child to a water park, and they had a fantastic time. There were rides for both adults and children, and our child didn't want to leave even when the park closed. The staff at the changing room, Ms. Kong, was very patient and helped us with our locker storage questions. Thumbs up!

    A great place for immersive Confucian cultural study tours! Confucius said: "Be steadfast in your beliefs and love learning; uphold the Way even unto death; do not enter a dangerous state, nor reside in a chaotic state; appear when the Way prevails, and remain hidden when it does not. In a state where the Way prevails, to be poor and lowly is shameful; in a state where the Way does not prevail, to be rich and noble is shameful."

    Taierzhuang Ancient Town is definitely worth a visit! It possesses both the gentle charm of a Jiangnan water town and the profound history of a northern ancient city. Strolling along the waterways in a traditional rowboat, with boat girls humming tunes and the lights on both banks reflected on the water, the scene of "a river of fishing lights" is dreamlike and enchanting. The winding cobblestone streets, the Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, and the bullet-riddled walls tell tales of history. The intangible cultural heritage of fire dragon steel flowers is breathtaking, and the aroma of yellow flower beef noodles and vegetable pancakes is irresistible. During the day, explore the exhibition halls and appreciate the culture; at night, enjoy the night view and fireworks. The blend of northern and southern styles with ancient and modern charm is so captivating that two days and one night are simply not enough—you won't want to leave!

    The Yellow River Estuary Ecological Tourism Area, which I visited this time, is located in Kenli District, Dongying City, Shandong Province, and is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. It boasts a unique confluence of river and sea landscapes and a rich wetland ecosystem, making it a paradise for birds and featuring distinctive landscapes such as the red carpet formed by Suaeda salsa and reeds. However, I personally felt it fell short of a five-star rating; perhaps my expectations were too high. This might be a case of the saying, "The higher the hope, the greater the disappointment."
