Mount Tai's Winter Rime Ice Spectacular

The tour started with a meeting point to board a bus to bring us to the attraction entrance. Our guide Lianghua was punctual, gave us an introduction of the Mount Tai and brought us around. She was readily available to answer our questions and was helpful throughout the tour. The climb at the 18 bends was challenging yet satisfying. Over 3000 steps. The view at the peak was great and totally worth it. Amazing experience overall.
Overall, I like the cable car at Mount Tai, but the scenery at Mount Tai is really good. The price is not expensive, especially for the elderly, who are free or half price, which is very friendly. You don’t have to carry too many things up the mountain, and there are things for sale. I personally feel that it is not very expensive and within an acceptable range.

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!

It was really great. It vividly and realistically portrayed the historical development, production process, and production facilities of the Tsingtao Brewery. Each person also experienced two glasses of beer. The overall feeling was comfortable and relaxing. I will come again next time.
Stepping into the Tsingtao Beer Museum is like traveling through a century of Tsingtao Beer's history. The museum's rich exhibits vividly showcase the brand's development. The tasting area is a highlight. Take a sip, and the aroma of malt permeates your tongue as the beer flows smoothly down your throat. The delicious taste is intoxicating, truly captivating.

I was very satisfied with my stay. The hotel is close to nearby attractions, making travel convenient. It happened to be a cool day, and the complimentary travel photography session was also excellent. The makeup artist, Zan Zi, did a beautiful hair job, and the photographer, Mr. Zhou, was very patient and provided great guidance. The photos were also very successful. I really enjoyed this trip. 😊 Being able to take photos in the hotel, rather than waiting in line at the scenic spots, was really convenient. The room was a renovated old house, so it's definitely not perfect, but overall, I was very satisfied!
The combined ticket discount was about 15% off, not much, but better than nothing. The scenery in Yangzhou was truly beautiful, and the crowds were just right, so it wasn't lonely or crowded. The water bus could have been longer for more convenience. We took a rowboat on Slender West Lake. The charter price was 1,000 yuan, and they only left when the boat was full. In the end, six of us took the boat to Xiaojinshan for 500 yuan. Even on a cloudy day, it was beautiful.

For first-time visitors to Laoshan, I recommend three days. It's truly vast. On the first day, visit Taiqing and Huayan, on the second, Yangkou and Jiushui, and on the third, Jufeng.
I personally think Laoshan is best suited for self-driving tours. The scenic bus stops directly at the parking lot, so you'll miss out on many scenic views along the way.
How can you visit Qingdao without visiting Laoshan? It's home to Laoshan, the most famous mountain on the sea and the highest peak on China's coastline. I did some research before going and found several scenic areas. My first visit, I chose Yangkou and Taiqing. The scenery was beautiful, and the cable car ride up wasn't tiring. Climbing up to Tianyuan, the view was breathtaking. There's a giant rock inscribed with the Chinese characters "Laoshan" (literally "Laoshan"), offering a panoramic view of the mountains, sea, and sky. I also enjoyed some Laoshan Baihuashecao water and Laoshan Coke, which were quite unique. The Baihuashecao water wasn't too bad, so I was fine. [Laughing and crying]

It was a great experience, with colorful tropical fish swimming around in groups and huge sea turtles slowly turning around. It felt like I had entered a mysterious underwater world.
Going to Ocean Park is a good experience. You can go even on rainy days. It is a good place for family fun. The service is also good, enthusiastic and patient. Overall it is worth a visit.

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!

Guishan Han Tomb is a must-see attraction when visiting Xuzhou. It is the eastern burial place of King Liu Xiang and his wife. It is divided into north and south chambers. The ancient wisdom and ingenuity are beyond compare. Many utensils inside are well preserved. The drainage system of the tomb is unique. It is more cost-effective to join a group tour on Ctrip. By the way, you can also visit Dianshi Garden and Imperial Edict Museum. It is said that they are the collections of folk collectors for many years, and the number of collections is astonishing.
It is well worth a visit, as you can travel back to the Western Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago. Here, you can see the life view that death is as important as life from the layout of the 15 functional rooms of the King of Chu, marvel at the precision of measurement and positioning while walking along two laser-level parallel lines, and see the spatial mechanics of hollowing out half a mountain without collapse, as well as the underground canal system for drainage and moisture prevention.

The sand is very fine and the water is quite clear. In the afternoon, the mountain blocks the sunlight, so it is not too hot. There are free swimming rings in Suma Bay. At night, when we arrived at Dashawan, there were bulldozer headlights for lighting, life jackets were provided, and lifeguards patrolled on motorboats to escort people who were out at night. The scenic area is very attentive. There was also a concert in Dashawan at night, and the songs were great.
Liandao Scenic Area, where mountains and sea meet, offers breathtaking scenery.
We recommend checking out Yangwotou, where you can not only see a stunning sunrise but also see a Nezha mural, which is incredibly photogenic. The coastal boardwalk offers picturesque scenery and is perfect for strolling and taking photos.
There are also some hidden dangers. Be careful not to trust the "wild guides" at the entrance to the scenic area, and don't buy the so-called "crystal bracelets" offered by the scenic area. They can easily lead to scams.
For a family trip, we recommend taking the scenic shuttle from the visitor center to Suma Bay, where you can take your children to see peacocks and play on the beach. Then, head to Dasha Bay to enjoy the waves and sand, and finally stroll along the coastal boardwalk to enjoy the refreshing sea breeze.
Suma Bay offers free sunshades, but there are paid showers, though the water is not hot.
