Mount Tai is the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains and is definitely worth experiencing. I entered through the Red Gate around 10 PM, but I was surprised by the sheer number of people climbing at night – mostly students of all ages on holiday, making for a terrible experience. When I reached the South Heaven Gate, it was completely shrouded in fog, ruining my plans to watch the sunrise. Only after descending from the Jade Emperor Peak did the fog begin to dissipate, allowing me to truly appreciate the beauty of Mount Tai. Despite some disappointments, I still feel this trip to Mount Tai was worthwhile.
Climbing Mount Tai at night, you'll sweat from the bottom, but it gets very cold at the summit because of the sweat. It's a good idea to bring extra clothes to change into, or rent a coat at the top (there's a deposit, 60 yuan per hour), or bring plenty of hand warmers. I didn't take any pictures of the sunrise, but I'll share some photos of the 7 am sunrise and the scenery on the way back. Give it a like if you think it's nice!

In winter, Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden not only features the still-brilliant International Chrysanthemum Exhibition, but also offers hundreds of immersive performances daily, two themed interactive events with thousands of NPCs, a Chinese-style amusement park, and many other exciting activities, fully recreating the prosperity of Bianjing (Kaifeng) in the Northern Song Dynasty and the charm of Song culture.
It's a traditional-themed cultural scenic area with dozens of performances, including several highlights such as the horse battle where Yue Fei defeats Xiao Liang Wang with his spear, the naval battle where the Jin army attacks Bianjing, traditional intangible cultural heritage acrobatics, and themed parades. The downside is the separately charged evening performance, "A Dream of the Song Dynasty in Bianjing," which reportedly features over 1000 performers. Perhaps due to its outdated design, it lacks originality and contemporary innovation, and compared to shows like the Fantasy City Theater in Henan, it doesn't justify the price. On the other hand, the chrysanthemum exhibition was fantastic; it was the first time I'd seen colorful chrysanthemums, and overall, it was a great experience.

The water of Baotu Spring is crystal clear and gushes forth day and night. When the water is abundant, the spring water splashes like white snow, creating a spectacular sight. Surrounding it are numerous other springs, such as Jinxi Spring and Heihu Spring, forming a vast spring complex. The park is shaded by lush trees and abundant flowers and plants, offering different scenery in each season, which, together with the spring water, creates a picturesque scene.
Baotu Spring has a long history, first mentioned in Shang Dynasty documents. It was named by Zeng Gong in the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Qianlong, impressed by the delicious tea brewed with its water, bestowed upon it the title of "Number One Spring Under Heaven." The ancient architectural complex around the spring, such as Luoyuan Hall and Guanlan Pavilion, along with the inscriptions by scholars throughout history, all showcase its profound cultural heritage.
The beauty of Baotu Spring surpasses even that of Jiangnan.
The scenic area isn't large, but the three gushing springs are unique.
They're breathtaking against the backdrop of the blue sky.
The spring water is crystal clear, and the rocky paths are perfect for taking photos.
There's also a memorial hall dedicated to Li Qingzhao and Wang Xuetao. Wanzhu Garden is also worth a visit. The entrance fee is 40 yuan. Jinan should really promote the unique culture surrounding these springs.

Three days for 100 yuan is a great deal! No pressure, lots of interactive NPCs, perfect for relaxing or bringing kids. The price is really unbeatable; we had a fantastic time and will definitely come again.
I've been here a few times before, and it's getting better and better! I got an annual pass, and it was worth it! Now there are dedicated free parking lots, and there's also a free shuttle bus to the scenic area, which is very convenient and hassle-free! There are performances everywhere in the scenic area, and many NPCs to interact with, making it very lively! You can also earn silver coins, which can be exchanged for items.

I really loved it! The shows were all incredibly moving and well-made, and the entire park was beautifully designed. It's definitely worth spending a whole day there. If possible, avoid holidays for an even better experience! 😍
I spent the entire day, from 9:30 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening, inside that place called Henan, surrounded by tall yellow walls, binge-watching shows in a rush. It was an experience that was well worth the money.

Kaifeng Prefecture held a prominent position in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its fame was further enhanced by the presence of Judge Bao. Therefore, a visit to Kaifeng wouldn't be complete without a visit to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Located south of the Imperial City Scenic Area and west of Zhongshan Road, the Kaifeng Prefecture covered a vast area, giving an idea of the immense size of the institution that managed a population of over a million.
Besides the well-known stories of Judge Bao's trials, Kaifeng Prefecture actually encompassed many functional areas, offering valuable insights into ancient social governance. There's so much more to learn!
The immersive performance was excellent! The holographic performance is also well worth seeing! Kaifeng Prefecture isn't very large, so walking around isn't tiring! There was also a lot of interaction with the audience! Kaifeng is a treasure trove, definitely worth visiting again!

The guided tour package was definitely worth it; the tour guide was fantastic, contacting us a day in advance to let us know the meeting time and place for the next day. The explanations on the day of the tour were very detailed, and she also explained the nearby Imperial Edict Museum and Dian Shi Garden very thoroughly. Oh, by the way, the entire scenic area is quite large, so I recommend allowing at least half a day and wearing very comfortable shoes to prepare for a lot of walking.
It's fun, and the ancient tomb feels incredibly realistic. The location is a bit remote, which is understandable. If the tortoise-shaped seal on the souvenir item could be made a little more appealing, it would be even more desirable.

The scenic area is well-developed and managed. We took a bus to the beach, then another bus to visit the peacock garden, and then to another beach. After getting off the bus, we walked back to the first beach along the 2.5-kilometer boardwalk. Then we took another bus directly back to the visitor center. The scenery is beautiful and well worth a visit.
The islands of Lianyungang are exactly my type—nestled between mountains and the sea, with beautiful reefs. The coastal boardwalk is a scenic walking trail I've been longing to explore. If you have enough time and your physical condition allows, hiking instead of taking the shuttle bus is also a great option.

Thousand Buddha Mountain in Jinan: - Rich in Historical and Cultural Heritage: Thousand Buddha Mountain is one of Jinan's three major scenic spots, a blend of various cultures including the culture of Emperor Shun and Buddhism. Xingguo Temple, built in the Sui Dynasty, and Wanfo Cave, housing over 2,800 Buddhist statues from the Sui to Qing Dynasties, are located on the mountain. Lishan Academy is a Taoist architectural complex. This unique coexistence of Buddhism and Taoism allows visitors to experience a profound historical and cultural atmosphere.
- Combining Natural Landscapes with Urban Scenery: At 285 meters above sea level, Thousand Buddha Mountain is not particularly high, but from the summit, one can enjoy a 360° panoramic view of Jinan, including attractions such as Daming Lake and Baotu Spring. The scenery of "half city mountains, half city lakes" is captivating. In autumn, the mountain is ablaze with red leaves, reflecting against the ancient temples, creating a picturesque scene.
Thousand Buddha Mountain is not high, and hiking enthusiasts can enjoy the beautiful scenery while climbing. It is a Buddhist holy site with lush vegetation. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire city. The sunset is especially beautiful. You can also see the myriad of grottoes, which are 1:1 replicas of grottoes and Buddha statues.

I went there around 3:00 PM on National Day. I didn't check the schedule and just wandered around the park, catching whatever I could. I saw a performance called "Defending the Last Chicken of Langya" and a juggler. That evening, I went to see the National Show Langya, which was truly wonderful. I went straight to the Water Show. The line was incredibly long, and once inside, only seats were left at the side, but that was fine; I could see everything. I only saw the first act of Langya. I watched acts two, three, and four from the periphery. It rained intermittently, and I left the park at 9:30 AM, missing the final fireworks display.
Visiting at night is recommended! Linyi's Langya Ancient Town is a captivating cultural and tourist attraction. Its fully immersive concept recreates the splendor of Langya. Its seven themed areas, each with its own distinct character, feature exquisitely restored Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, including government offices and academies, creating a sense of time travel. The scenic area offers a wealth of cultural experiences, including intangible cultural heritage crafts and calligraphy workshops, allowing visitors to experience the heart of history. The entertainment industry is a highlight, with over 100 performances, such as "National Show Langya," performed daily, combining audiovisual effects with stunning real-life scenes. Furthermore, the scenic area offers affordable prices, and the snack alleys are filled with the lively atmosphere of life. However, during peak season, tickets for popular performances are hard to come by, and some areas can feel overly commercial.
