I was fortunate to take my elderly mother and uncle to the Longmen Grottoes. The weather was cool, the rain had cleared, and the crowds were few, allowing us to savor each Buddha statue. It was a true artistic feast! The Longmen Grottoes are a treasure trove of ancient Chinese stone carving art, their exquisite carving techniques and rich cultural heritage are breathtaking. The Buddha statues in the caves are lifelike, showcasing the wisdom and ingenuity of ancient artisans. Each statue imbued with profound religious and philosophical significance, a treasure of Chinese civilization.
The grottoes and stone carvings are large in scale, majestic, and the craftsmanship is exquisite... Unfortunately, most of the Buddha statues have been damaged beyond recognition, even statues as small as fingers have been damaged. It's a pity!

It was raining heavily when we went, which was quite disheartening at first. But after an hour, the rain stopped, leaving only a light drizzle. I headed up wearing my raincoat (which I bought at the Red Gate entrance for 10 yuan). If you've never climbed Mount Tai in the rain, you absolutely must! It's cool, and you get to experience a completely different kind of scenery: waterfalls, seas of clouds, and a sea of green... When climbing Mount Tai, don't bring your own water. I climbed Mount Tai with my 70-year-old father, and I carried six bottles of water. I was exhausted, but there are plenty of supply points on the mountain, and bottled water is only 2 yuan a bottle. There was no need to skimp; it was too heavy. 😃 We reached the summit in 3 hours and 15 minutes, which wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined.
Eating on Tianjie Street isn't cheap, personally, but it's 182 yuan (as shown in the picture below), but that's understandable. After all, I carried it all the way up!
The sky after the rain was misty and shimmering, and Tianjie Street was truly worthy of its name. It was a fantastic experience!
The reputation of "The Most Respected of the Five Mountains" is well-deserved, and the cultural heritage is full. The price-performance ratio is the best among all the mountains I have visited. Except for the top of the mountain, the supplies on the mountain are super cheap. I couldn't believe that instant noodles were 6 yuan each...

I took my family to the provincial capital for a weekend getaway, and unexpectedly ran into a crowd attending Jay Chou's concert. We arrived at Baotu Spring late, so it was relatively quiet. The scenery was beautiful, with the weeping willows and spring water reflecting off each other, and the kids were delighted. The path is quite staircase-heavy and gravelly, making it less stroller-friendly. If you don't have a helper, bring a lightweight stroller.
Stepping into Baotu Spring Park feels like stepping into a natural ink painting. Three clear springs gush endlessly, like jade liquid rising into the air and snow-capped waves surging, their endless vitality awe-inspiring! Surrounding the park are exquisite pavilions and weeping willows swaying in the water, perfectly blending the grandeur of northern gardens with the graceful beauty of Jiangnan scenery. Li Qingzhao's former residence, nestled within the park, adds a touch of cultural elegance. The water is crystal clear, revealing the bottom, and koi carp swim gracefully. Watching from the railing, your heart follows the tranquility of the springs, and your worries vanish. Admire the crabapple blossoms in spring and the chrysanthemums in autumn. The misty winter air, shrouded in mist, creates a truly dreamlike scene. Jinan's soul converges here, truly the most vibrant pearl of the Qilu region!

The scenery is nice, there are many performances and various life dramas, and the tourists are highly involved. It is very good, especially at night, when the Qingming Riverside Park is even more beautiful under the lights. If you take a boat trip, it is even more pleasing to the eye and you will linger there. It is well worth a visit.
The experience is very strong, and there are many interactive activities. In fact, it is lively when there are many people, and it is more immersive. The iron flowers at night are particularly beautiful, and it feels great! I will go there again if I have the chance.

It's very beautiful, especially seeing the Panlong Pillar, I was shocked. There are many ancient trees in the Jin Temple, the oldest of which is 3,200 years old. It's amazing! There are national treasures everywhere. It's worth it. I want to go again in the future.
The most worthwhile scenic spot in Taiyuan. I go there at least 6 times a year. It has rich cultural connotations and a lot of history to learn. It covers a wide range of history, including the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, as well as modern history.

Pingyao Ancient City is quite large. There are electric cars (10 yuan per trip) that go from the parking lot at Xiaoximen to the ancient city. There are many of these cars at the entrances of the city's tourist attractions. You need to buy a pass to visit the attractions in the ancient city.
Compared to all the famous ancient cities in China, Pingyao Ancient City can truly be described as a truly ancient city. It retains the features of an ancient city, with its escort agencies, banks, government offices, City God Temple, and Confucian Temple all well-preserved. The only drawback is the lack of signage leading into the ancient city. I wonder if the scenic area is deliberately trying to encourage electric taxi drivers to take advantage of short journeys, but they're taking detours to justify the distance and charge a ten-yuan fare per person. The scenic area also has plenty of clean restrooms, which I commend for their management.

I only went to Wansui Mountain, and it was worth it. For the price, I had so many NPS spots to explore, it was worth it. It's so pet-friendly! I encountered lots of puppies! 😏
P.S. Don't drive yourself; Kaifeng's traffic is terrible, and you'll have to pay a fine when you get back! 😤
I spent five hours exploring the area without any research, and without even checking a map, I just wandered around. I only saw a few shows, and the exciting ones that required reservations were all sold out. Since I got half-price admission, it was a great value.
This attraction is actually worth a full day. It's not suitable for seniors or adults.

It's off-season now, so I watched eight small theaters in one day. I really think each one is very good, the actors, makeup, scenery, and plot are all good. I really recommend it.
The happiest thing was seeing Director Wang's work. Every time I go to Zhengzhou on business, I'm always rushed out, and my ticket reservations are repeatedly postponed due to work. This time, I didn't miss the appointment. Even though it was raining, I was still enthusiastic about the show, and there was no need to queue. However, because I had so little time, I only saw two shows, only the Henan show. Having been here, I have no regrets. Next time, I have the chance to come back and bring my children with me.

The area is quite large. The first area is well-informed and worth a look. However, I wasn't very interested in the subsequent exhibitions. A tour guide would have been a good way to learn more.
The tour guide spoke very well and was very patient. I learned a lot about the history of Qiao Family Courtyard. She asked questions and took photos as we walked. There were also elderly people present. The explanation, which was supposed to last from one to one and a half hours, stretched to two hours without any impatience. I was very happy.

This trip to the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion was a truly enriching cultural experience, guided by our guide, Xun. His explanations were easy to understand and gave us a vivid and engaging understanding of Confucian culture. Free luggage storage was available before the tour, and a dedicated shuttle service was provided to return us to the departure point afterward, which was very convenient. The Ctrip staff were also very welcoming.
Qufu boasts the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Confucius Cemetery. I drove all the way from Beijing with my nearly 80-year-old parents to visit. Admission is free for those over 60, so I give Shandong a big thumbs up for its cultural tourism. It fulfilled my parents' wish to see the sage's office and residence. Perfect!
