It is worth seeing if you take your children to visit, from south to north; the ancient buildings are grand in scale, showing the country's grandeur; the ancient trees are towering and block out the sun, reflecting the antiquity; there are many kinds of ancient steles, from the Li Si Stele of the Qin Dynasty to modern times, reflecting many important historical and cultural information.
The scenery was average, but there were still a lot of people. There was nothing to do except go upstairs.
For our family outing, we opted for a full hike up the mountain, from Hongmen to the summit of Yuhuang Peak. The summit was cloudy.
Descending by cable car and bus, we were treated to a sunset by the time we reached Zhongtianmen.
The main goal was to have a good meal without any bitterness. The cable car took 7 minutes, and the ticket price seemed a bit expensive.

It's worth a visit. It's a cool spot in the hot summer, and the fish in the spring are plump. It would be nice if there were more places to relax and sit for a while. You can scan the QR code to listen to the tour guide at the scenic spot, which is definitely worth learning from other attractions.
Today's trip with guide Wang Ping was a very pleasant one. During our morning visit to the panda base, Wang was very familiar with the route and led us efficiently, managing each section of the tour with excellent timing. We were able to fully appreciate the pandas without any unnecessary detours, and the pace was very comfortable.
However, I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to hear Wang's explanation during our afternoon visit to Sanxingdui. Her professional introduction would have made the trip much more enriching. I hope to have the opportunity to travel with Wang again next time to make up for this small regret.

Overall it's good, the front may be boring, and then the adventure is really not worth it, it's better to just buy the tickets for Hall A + Hall B. The beer given at the back is really delicious, the overall atmosphere is also very good, I am very happy after drinking it, it may be more fun to go at night, there is a tilted house inside, which is very interesting
Because I was too lazy to leave, I went at 6:00 AM, perfectly avoiding rush hour and getting in without a line. The entire route takes less than an hour, which is plenty of time. The package includes two beers, which are excellent, much better than those outside. You have to buy ice cream separately, so you can try it.

Experience the joy of hiking and enjoy the nourishing beverages of Laoshan's three unique specialties: Laoshan Cola, Laoshan mineral water, and Laoshan White Snake Grass Sparkling Water!
After finishing the sparkling water, it's time to grab a Pulse!
Hello! Here’s my perspective as a foreigner. I visited Laoshan in October, when the weather was neither too hot nor too cold — perfect for hiking. The journey from the city center to Laoshan is quite long, so we opted for a Didi (online taxi), which was more comfortable and cost around 100–130 RMB (about $16.7). To reach the summit, you can take a cable car and then hike for about 30–45 minutes to get to the main peak. From there, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views. Overall, Laoshan, a 5A-rated tourist attraction in China, is absolutely worth visiting!

Qingdao Polar Ocean Park is truly amazing! Beluga whales, dolphins, penguins, polar bears...the variety of polar marine animals is dazzling to see, and the performances are thrilling and interactive. The venue is thoughtfully designed, the underwater tunnel is fantastical, and the scientific information is fascinating. It's perfect for bringing family and friends, and the experience is fantastic. Highly recommended!
It had everything you'd expect, just like any other aquarium. The ice cave was decent, but the Ferris wheel was the kind that had a 2-hour wait and took 10 minutes to complete. It was better to just watch the Ferris wheel from below. Tickets are also quite expensive.

Penglai Pavilion: The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
🌊
📍Penglai
"I've heard there's a fairy mountain on the sea, lurking in the ethereal void. May I ask where the Eight Immortals reside? Once you reach Penglai, you'll become an immortal."
The scenery is beautiful, especially the sea, which is more beautiful than any other beach in Yantai. However, there are too many people during the peak season and the weather is very hot. Unfortunately, there are too few places to escape the heat and there are not enough tour guides. When we arrived, we had to wait for an hour for a guide, so we wandered around on our own and missed many attractions.

The sage's hometown, unprecedented in history, resonates with his voice, forever celebrated. The 1+9 structure of the Dacheng Hall (one of the three main halls) highlights the sage's stature. The towering palace walls protect the cultural heritage of China.
The itinerary was a bit rushed, so I booked a guided tour and followed the guide around the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Temple. The One-Person Alley in the Confucius Mansion and the intrigue in the Confucius Temple left a deep impression on me! Compared to other similar temples, the tickets are still a bit expensive.

There are five pavilions in total, and it's crucial to visit them in order, avoiding backtracking. First, visit the Jellyfish Pavilion, then the Seal Pavilion.
From the Seal Pavilion, you can take a 30-minute boat ride out to sea, where you'll see the Naval Museum and the pier.
After disembarking, continue to the Whale Pavilion, where the most breathtaking experience is the underwater world.
Stepping into Qingdao Ocean Park is like falling into a blue dreamscape. In the underwater tunnel, schools of colorful fish swim overhead and beside you, seemingly within reach. Giant sea turtles glides through the water with a leisurely, carefree air. Penguins sway gracefully, their bodies adorable. Beluga whales swim gracefully, dancing with their trainers in heartwarming scenes. During the dolphin show, their leaps soar, stirring up sparkling water, agile and lively. After my visit, I was completely captivated by the wonders of the ocean.

Tianjin Teda Aircraft Carrier Theme Park, centered around the aircraft carrier "Kiev," is perfect for military enthusiasts and families. Visitors can board a real aircraft carrier to experience the military atmosphere, while the thrilling "Carrier Storm" show, combined with special effects, recreates real combat scenes. The park also features a Russian-style street and submarine exhibition, offering both entertainment and educational opportunities. While some facilities are a bit dated, admission is high. Overall, it's worth a visit, especially for those interested in naval culture.
Our family of four visited the TEDA Aircraft Carrier Scenic Area! Inside the park, there's a wide variety of food, including Russian bread, sausage, and pickled cucumbers. There's also Tianjin-style noodles, and more! The kids took photos with Russian nesting dolls! The TEDA Aircraft Carrier and the Haiying destroyer showcase the nation's strength and are well worth a visit. The extreme coaster rides are thrilling, the aircraft carrier storm bursts are thrilling, and the amphibious ship cruise, unlike other scenic areas, is also worth a try! Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the submarine because it closed due to lack of time!

There are two beaches, but they can't be compared with the beaches in Sanya. You can only play casually. The transportation within the scenic area is relatively convenient, so you don't have to walk much. With the elderly and children, the weather was too hot, so we basically didn't play much and ended our trip here.
It's definitely worth the trip. Children under 1.4 meters are free. A sightseeing ticket is a must-buy, as it's a great way to enjoy the scenery. First, take the miniature train to Dashawan. The beach is clean and the water is clear. Showers are 10 yuan for adults and 5 yuan for those under 1.4 meters. Then take the sightseeing bus to Sumawan. The waves are strong, so it's not suitable for swimming, but it's great for taking photos and making a vow. Finally, take the bus back to the visitor center. Parking is free. Items in the scenic area are also reasonably priced, with a single piece of Kawaii for 5 yuan. There are also shops like Shanghai Auntie. The experience is excellent, with great value for money.
