Hongye Valley Scenic Area is located in Liuyan Town, the southern mountainous area of Jinan City. The traffic is relatively convenient. When you arrive at the roadside, you have to take a few kilometers to a large hillside. The most suitable season for Hongye Valley is autumn. It is probably suitable for tourism in three months. It is recommended to play for one day. In the evening, you can return to Jinan city to stay and eat. The Hongye Valley has beautiful scenery, fresh air in the mountains, and a natural oxygen bar. It is very suitable for travel and vacation camping.
Jinan Red Leaf Valley is a national 4A-level scenic spot located in the southern mountainous area and is famous for its beautiful scenery in all seasons. In autumn, the mountains are all red, and the sea of cotinus is dyed with layers of forests, which can be called a poetic portrayal of "frost leaves are redder than February flowers". In spring, the tulip sea spreads over the European-style valley, and millions of Dutch tulips and windmill sculptures complement each other, just like Monet's dream garden. In summer, the valley is lush and green, with waterfalls and springs, and the negative oxygen ion content is as high as 300 times that of the urban area, making it a summer resort; in winter, the snow covers the green pines and the fragrance of winter plums floats, creating a unique artistic conception. In the scenic area, the Autumn Lake is as blue as a mirror, and the Wanye Tower is a high-altitude glass drifting, rainbow slide and other interesting projects. The transportation is convenient, and it can be reached by car or bus, which is suitable for family travel, photography and leisure.

Chocolate Experience Hall: Here, visitors can pour melted chocolate into a variety of adorable molds, such as heart shapes, and wait for the chocolate to solidify with anticipation. Holding their handmade chocolate brings a sweet and fulfilling sense of accomplishment, and the chocolate's deliciousness is enhanced by the setting in which it was crafted.
Sachet-Making Experience Hall: A variety of spices, such as lavender, rose, and rosemary, exude elegant aromas. Visitors can choose their favorite spices, crush them in a stone mortar, and watch them transform into a fine powder. The powder is then placed into exquisite sachets for easy crafting!
I drove my kids here today. It's about an hour's drive from downtown to Rushan. Once we arrived, we exchanged our tickets and went inside directly with the staff. Once inside, we made sachets with the kids, and she made chocolates for them. It was fun, and the scenery was beautiful. I highly recommend it! Everyone should come and check it out. If you don't want to hike, you can take a tour bus directly to the Art Town, where there are many craft workshops for kids to try. It's a great place to spend the whole day.

Shimenfang has a long history and profound cultural heritage. As early as the Shang Dynasty, people admired this place. The Panggong Temple in the scenic area has a history of more than 3,000 years. It was built to commemorate the tomb of Pang Boling, the king of the Shang Dynasty. There are more than 70 cliff statues from the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, which are precious historical relics and provide valuable information for the study of ancient Chinese history and the social background of the Tang Dynasty.
🎢Entertainment projects:
In addition to beautiful scenery and history, Shimenfang also has many fun entertainment projects!
The roller coaster lets you feel the thrill of riding the wind and receive your own purple passion and romance;
The 3,000-square-meter go-kart track has two large-turnaround cool tracks, allowing you to enjoy speed and passion;
The colorful slide with a total length of more than 120 meters allows you to slide down from a high altitude and enjoy the pleasure brought by the gravity drop;
There is also a high-altitude glass drift with a total length of about 3,333 meters, with a 360-degree transparent corner. Adults and children can play, and while feeling the wind and lightning, they can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains.
There are too many things I want to say. First, the cultural landscape, there are cliff carvings, stone statues, and the eight major scenes of Linqu "Pianyi Shimen Evening Glow Remnant", which I will not mention due to space limitations. There are many celebrity stone carvings. Second, the natural landscape, lush vegetation, gurgling streams, especially many small trees on the cliffs, twisted and circling, very interesting. The hiking trails are newly renovated and convenient for walking. The most important thing is the natural oxygen bar.

A hidden gem! Just a half-hour drive from Mount Tai, it's surprisingly sparsely populated even during the peak summer season. It's truly a genuine ancient temple. The glazed-tiled main hall remains unrenovated, preserving its pristine appearance. The vividly colored arhat sculptures within are truly one-of-a-kind treasures! There's also a Pizhi pagoda, a gatehouse embracing ancient tree roots, and… Surrounded by mountains, it's a truly wonderful place!
Lingyan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple hidden in the mountains, exudes tranquility and sacredness. Its magnificent ancient buildings, with carved beams and painted rafters, evoke a sense of history. The towering Pizhi Pagoda bears witness to the passage of time. The vividly colored sculptures of Arhats within the Thousand Buddha Hall are of immense artistic value. Surrounded by mountains and forests, the serene environment offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle, allowing visitors to experience a unique sense of tranquility and Zen.

Wangwu Mountain, the first of the ten great Taoist caves, is also known as "Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven" and one of the nine famous mountains in ancient China. The scenery of Wangwu Mountain is majestic and quiet, and Taoist relics are scattered all over the mountain. There are many legends such as the Yellow Emperor ascending the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the sky. The main peak, Temple of Heaven, is more than 1,800 meters above sea level. Climbing to the top, you can see all the mountains. The General Fairy Palace is built on it, which is like a palace in heaven, with a fairy-like atmosphere.
You need to take a sightseeing bus to go up the mountain. Friends who are not physically fit are recommended to take the ropeway back and forth. This season is just right to play, it is not too hot, and the old street at the foot of the mountain is very lively at night. It's a pity that I didn't see any monkeys, hahahaha

🌟 Travel Reviews
- Natural Scenery: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
- Comments: The surroundings of Songshan Shaolin Temple are beautiful, with picturesque scenery and clear waters, perfect for strolling and taking photos. The scenery is particularly charming in autumn, when the falling yellow leaves add to the tranquility of the ancient temple.
- History and Culture: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
- Comments: Shaolin Temple has a long history, and its architecture and cultural relics are of great artistic value. The Buddha statues and murals in the Main Hall are well-preserved.
There were no martial monks, though there was a performance but I missed it. All I could see were the tranquil temples and the stories of Bodhidharma and Sakyamuni. I recommend hiring a guide, as it's quite boring. The cable cars are long and short, so I recommend taking the Shaolin Cable Car to see the Book Cliff. It's a nice, relaxing afternoon tea there. It was very cozy, with the perfect temperature and sunshine, and the hike wasn't tiring. The cable car costs 70 and 100 yuan round trip, while the sightseeing bus is 15 yuan per trip. The parking lot is a 3-kilometer walk from the entrance.

This is a famous historical and cultural town in China, the birthplace of both the Yang and Wu families of Tai Chi. Surrounded by a 100-meter-wide moat, it boasts a pleasant ecological environment and beautiful scenery, making it a must-see. Don't miss the cheap combined ticket. Hongji Bridge is a bit far from the Guangfu Ancient City, so you can take a shuttle bus to get there.
The historical sites are well-preserved, but you must ask for a guide, otherwise you'll just be wandering around. Taking a private electric car is more convenient, but the distance is a bit far. The entrance fees to several attractions are quite affordable, and you must visit the ancient city wall.

Is it worth spending 20 yuan to save 20 minutes of walking up the mountain? Everyone has their own opinion. You missed a little scenery, but you can see another little scenery.
The scenery is beautiful, both spectacular and beautiful. The service in the scenic area is also very good. The service area is well-equipped, the price is not expensive, and the quantity is large and full. It is one of the best attractions I have visited in so many years.
