🌶️After three days in Zibo, I finally understand why people say, "This is a city with sincerity etched into its DNA." The aroma of barbecue here fills the streets, and the owners smile, "Take more, you're welcome." Even taxi drivers will proactively tell you which barbecue places have the best food with no lines. This feeling of being surrounded by such warmth is truly healing! 🌿 My personal experience in Zibo: Sincerity is the best strategy. As soon as I got off the high-speed train, I was warmed by the "Barbecue Train" sign on the platform. A volunteer handed me a free Zibo map, densely packed with barbecue restaurants, attractions, and bus routes, and even circled "Must-try affordable restaurants for students." During the taxi ride to Zhangdian District, the chef kept saying, "Our Zibo barbecue is all about wrapping everything in a small pancake. Don't try to copy the random dipping sauces you see online; follow the locals' way!" The owner of the B&B we stayed at was even more down-to-earth. In the morning, he brought me his homemade Zhoucun sesame cakes and said, "Fill yourself up first. I'll take you to my regular place for lunch—no need to wait in line!" This warm welcome, treating tourists like "outsiders," was even more addictive than barbecue itself. 🍢 Must-try List: The "Soul of BBQ" Treasures of a Local 1. BBQ: A small pancake wrapped in a delicious aroma that'll make you stamp your feet I went to "Lao Li's BBQ," a local recommendation. It wasn't a fancy place, just a few small tables, but the moment the skewers arrived, I was stunned—the meat was a sizzling mix of fat and lean, grilled to a sizzling sizzle. The owner also gave me a "soul trio": paper-thin pancakes, freshly cut scallions, and a secret sweet bean sauce. ✨The right way to eat: Dip the pancake in some sauce, top it with the meat skewers, and wrap it with a few scallions. The aroma of the pancake, meat, and scallions blends beautifully, making it incredibly filling! For just over 60 yuan per person, you can eat until you're full, and the owner will even ask, "Is that enough? Want two more?" 2. Boshan Cuisine: The "Hardcore Romance" of Shandong People We tried authentic Boshan cuisine at Boshan Restaurant. We recommend the Boshan Crispy Pot (cabbage, kelp, and spare ribs stewed to a crispy tenderness, with a sweet and savory flavor that goes perfectly with rice), the Tofu Box (golden tofu cubes stuffed with meat filling, bursting with juice when bitten), and the fried meat, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Dipped in salt and pepper, you can't stop eating. For 50 yuan per person, you'll be left leaning against the wall. 3. Hidden Snacks: Surprises in the Streets - Eat the purple rice cakes at the Badaju Convenience Market while they're still hot. The rice aroma blends with the milky flavor, making them soft and glutinous without being overly sweet. - The fried meat buns at the roadside stalls are crispy on the outside and filled with savory meat filling. 3 yuan each is enough to fill you up. - Have a cup of Zibo local yogurt for a sweet and sour tang that's perfect with barbecue! 🏯 Besides barbecue, these places are worth visiting. 1. Zhoucun Ancient Commercial City: Experience the old days of the "dry dock." The bluestone streets are lined with Ming and Qing dynasty-style buildings, with escort agencies, banks, and teahouses lining the streets. Rent a Hanfu suit and stroll through the alleys for a breathtaking view of the commercial port centuries ago. Best of all! It's a quiet and uncrowded place where you can watch veteran artisans make Zhoucun sesame cakes. A bag costs 5 yuan, and they're incredibly delicious. 2. Haidai Tower and Zhongshuge: A Real-Life "Magic Library" Standing by Qisheng Lake, admire the Haidai Tower, its soaring eaves and brackets reflected in the water. When lit up in the evening, it looks like something out of a painting. Inside, Zhongshuge is hailed as "China's Most Beautiful Bookstore." Its mirrored spiral staircase creates a stunning photo opp. When you're tired of reading, you can enjoy feeding the pigeons by the lake—free and relaxing. 3. Ceramics and Glass Museum: Experience the exquisite craftsmanship of "Made in Zibo" I never imagined Zibo's glassware could be so stunning! The museum features shimmering glass ornaments and translucent thin-bodied porcelain. Watch the glassmakers blow their own glassware live, and watch a "fireball" transform into a shimmering vase—a moment of wonder. Admission is free, and a two-hour visit is a surefire way to spend the day. 💡 My Tips for Zibo - Don't stick to internet-famous BBQ restaurants; established establishments in residential areas are more authentic and the owners are more welcoming. - Go to Badaju Market before 8 AM for less crowds, so you can avoid the tour groups. - Zibo people are straightforward and enthusiastic. If you don't know the way, just ask; they'll be eager to take you. - The cost is affordable; a three-day trip for over 1,000 yuan per person is incredibly enjoyable. On the day I left, the B&B owner called a taxi for me and gave me a bag of Zhoucun sesame cakes: "Eat them on the way, and come back next time!" As the car drove out of Zibo, I looked out the window at the receding streets, and it suddenly struck me that the charm of this city lies not only in the aroma of barbecue, but also in the sincerity in everyone's eyes. If you're looking for a place where you can enjoy hearty meat and genuine hospitality, come to Zibo—these places hold the most touching warmth hidden in their everyday lives. #ZiboTravel #ZiboBBQ #ZiboFood #ShandongZibo

Must-See Attractions & Order of Visits Day 1: Zibo Ceramics and Glass Museum → Haidai Tower Zhongshuge • Ceramics and Glass Museum: Free, reservations required. The museum's treasure, the "Green Glaze Lotus Vase," is a must-see. DIY glass bracelets are 39 yuan. • Stop for a coffee (Quanzhi 🐉) in between; the coffee is exceptional. • Haidai Tower Zhongshuge: Stunning night views, check out the mirrored bookstore, and take stunning photos in Hanfu. Day 2: Badaju Market • Badaju Market morning and evening markets: A snack paradise. Must-buy purple rice cakes, wok pancakes, and sesame salt (10 yuan each). Food Recommendations • Must-Try BBQ: A local, time-honored BBQ restaurant (small pancakes with scallions and pork belly, a must-try in Zibo, 80 yuan per person). Don't bring your own. • Lao Mian Soup: Mix the broth with an egg and eat with fried dough sticks and sanzi. Delicious! • Soup Dumplings: Suck the broth first, then eat the dumplings (unlike the ones in Henan). • Local Cuisine: After shopping, I went straight to Boshan Cuisine 2.0, a restaurant recommended by a friend. I stopped by at noon and saw the line was too long... so I left immediately. I came back in the evening and it was much smaller. I recommend coming later. ✔️ Boshan Stew - The broth is incredibly fresh and the ingredients are generous. Drink the broth first, then the vegetables. It's delicious! ✔️ Big Ginger Fried Chicken - Fried chicken from Zibo, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. ✔️ Durian Tofu Box - Sounds a bit strange, but it's really good! Durian lovers should try it. ✔️ Butter Kavass - Rich, milky flavor without being greasy, no alcohol, and quite refreshing. ✔️ Fried Spring Rolls - Currently filled with shepherd's purse, the skin is fried to a crisp. I heard the filling will change, so I'll try it next time. We spent a little over 70 yuan per person and were quite full. Affordable, no disappointments. Authentic experience Zibo is more than just barbecue! The thousand-year-old craftsmanship of Liuliguan and the bluestone pavements of Zhoucun are rich in cultural heritage. The snacks at Badaju are affordable and substantial.
