📍Taishan, Shandong • Mount Tai⛰️
"Mount Tai of China, Peace and Prosperity for the Country and the People." Over 7,000 steps, over 1,500 meters above sea level. From excitement to exhaustion, climbing until my legs give out, standing on the summit of Mount Tai, overlooking the scenery below, all the difficulties of the ascent are transformed into a glimmer of sunset. The magnificent mountains and rivers make life worthwhile.
Why climb mountains? Because they're there. Mount Tai, a world-renowned mountain, has captivated countless kings, generals, ministers, and scholars throughout history. Only by ascending it in person can you truly appreciate its allure.

The scenic area is shaded by green trees, with pine and bamboo groves and numerous springs, which fully reflects the characteristics of Jinan, the City of Springs. It is very popular and has a strong cultural atmosphere. There are relics of famous literati such as Li Qingzhao, an exhibition of the anti-Japanese deeds of the people of Jinan in those days, and various cultural and creative products. It is worth a visit!
There are many springs in Baotu Spring. Jinan is worthy of being called the City of Springs. The center of the main spring is constantly rolling like boiling water. Other small springs will bubble up from the bottom of the spring when you shout loudly. Nature is really amazing.

A quick tour of both pavilions would take about half an hour. However, the text and images offer a good opportunity to savor them, detailing the brewery's history and rise and fall. Half of the 60 yuan entrance fee is for the last two beers, which, taken together, feels like a forced sale.
I highly recommend the museum's off-season ticket. You can complete various related tasks while visiting the museum and take the fast track. The NPCs are very interesting. I earned a lot of silver dollars by interacting with them, which can be used to deduct discounts on consumption. I was matched with very reliable and fun teammates. We even drank together inside before the end. It was a very pleasant night.

If you go to Qingdao, you should still spend a day at Laoshan. Climb to the top and overlook the mountains and the sea. The scenery is still stunning. It is very beautiful. Unfortunately, the weather is too humid, and the scenery is a bit hazy. It is very convenient to buy cable car tickets in advance and swipe your ID card to ride.

It's a pity that I didn't see the mirage, but as the place where the Eight Immortals were said to have lived, it is still worth a visit. As soon as you enter the park, you will see the Qi Jiguang Memorial Hall, which has a very detailed introduction and uses modern light and shadow animation to show the life of the national hero.
Order the entry tickets and cable rides passes on trip.com, scan the QR code to enter. It exceeded my expectations for this visit, there are so much to see and do inside the pavilion than what the picture shows or go with a tour group. Initially we were going to take a tour as it is our first time to ShangDong and not sure how easy to get around. I am glad that we decided to be adventurous. Once entering the park, you just follow the path and walk from one site to the other. Don’t let the height of the next scenery intimidate you, just take your time, hike a few steps and sit aside to rest then go again. You’ll be proud of yourself and appreciate the beautiful views that you won’t see by joining the tour. To take the cable, you enter another town by scanning the pavilion entrance QR code again. If you don’t want to take the cable ride, visiting that town is also scenic and hike up to the highest point, the Diamond Square.

Brought the children here, there are 6 tubes, each tube is a kind of creature, very complete, the children like it very much, recommended to have children's tickets, senior tickets, discounts, good, good, good,
As soon as you step into the aquarium, you're instantly cut off from the bustling world outside, as if under a spell. The first thing that catches your eye is the stunning "deep sea screen," where all sorts of bizarre fish dart through.

The magical Polar Ocean World, all the performances are wonderful, especially the dolphin, walrus and beluga whale performances, which are extremely cute. The 5D cinema experience is not very shocking and needs to be improved.
Qingdao Ocean Polar Park is a fantastic experience! The polar bears are super cute, the dolphin show is fantastic, and the venue is clean and cool. It's a great day out! I highly recommend it to everyone!

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!

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.
Very good, very good value for money. I'd stay here again next time. The subway station is 500 meters away, and the high-speed rail station is about a ten-minute taxi ride away. I took a special express train for only 4.8 yuan. I wouldn't bother taking the subway. There's a commercial building downstairs, the room was clean, and the breakfast was really good. There's also a laundry room and a gym.

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.
