Mount Tai is rich in culture, majestic and magnificent, and steeped in history. Climbing Mount Tai is a thrilling and exhilarating experience. Standing atop Mount Tai, one feels ambitious and has a global perspective, taking in the magnificent landscape of the motherland.
With over 6,000 steps, I'm a frequent hiker, so it wasn't too daunting. The ascent took 3.5 hours, and the descent, a night run, took 1.5 hours. The view from the summit is truly unique.

The scenery at Baotu Spring is spectacular. This year, due to abundant rainfall, the water level at Baotu Spring is said to be the highest in 60 years, which is truly magnificent. Spring water is even seeping out from the cracks in some of the stone slabs along the road.
I visit Jinan every year! It truly lives up to its reputation as the "Little Jiangnan of the North." The springs are bubbling and flowing powerfully this year. Jinan is so much fun! The spring water tea is delicious! I'll definitely come again!

This is a must-visit attraction in Qingdao. It's quite interesting to stroll around, and there's free beer to drink. However, it gets very crowded in the summer, and the air conditioning isn't enough, so it feels stuffy. They sell authentic Qingdao beer inside.
The location is nice, and the information is good.
However, I wouldn't recommend hiring a live guide. The young woman we hired seemed very perfunctory; she didn't say much, basically just walked to a fixed spot and recited a script. Unless you asked her, she wouldn't say another word, and then she'd run out of things to say and rush us forward.
Honestly, the live guide provided more information than we could have. Without her, I could have explored at my own pace, but because of her, I felt rushed and didn't have time to properly observe or photograph many things.
We missed many parts of the tour, and only later, when we asked her, did she tell us where we were before, but it was a one-way tour, and we couldn't go back, which was a real shame.

The scenic area is huge! I thought I could finish in half a day, but it took me a whole day and I still hadn't seen everything.
Laoshan Scenic Area is divided into four sections, each with its own ticket checkpoint. A shuttle bus connects the sections, allowing you to hop on and off at each stop before hiking into the scenic area.
However, I later discovered that you can buy just the entrance ticket, not the shuttle bus ticket. Then, you can find businesses within the scenic area on Dianping (a Chinese review platform), make reservations, and register them. Afterward, you can drive into the scenic area, stopping at each section as you please, and even stopping whenever you want. It's quite convenient.
[Scenery] Excellent. A place to visit year-round.
[Fun] Beijiushui is highly recommended. Visit during the rainy season.
There are many guesthouses.
Laoshan self-driving tour: there are beaches along the way.
[Value for Money] Lower costs in autumn, but the most beautiful scenery is in summer.

I brought my family to Penglai and stayed in this apartment. It's very close to the beach. The landlord was very nice; when I told him I wanted to steam seafood, he even brought me a pot. He also gave me travel tips, recommended places to eat and local specialties. The room was very clean, the neighborhood was quiet, parking was convenient, and there were many supermarkets and restaurants nearby. It's only a few minutes' drive from the scenic area. Penglai is truly a paradise on earth; I'll definitely come back again.
When I visited, Penglai Pavilion was under renovation, so I could only walk around the park and look at it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to enter the main hall of Penglai Pavilion and climb the tower for a view. The scenery within the scenic area is pleasant, and the area is quite large, making it well worth a visit.

Family, you absolutely can't miss the Underwater World when you come to Qingdao, especially that nearly 100-meter-long underwater tunnel!
It's really amazing! Tickets are available now!
Here's a guide for you:

Ticket Purchase Guide
Tickets can be purchased in advance through the official WeChat account or major travel platforms.
A general admission ticket is 170 yuan, with student discounts available. There might be queues at the ticket counter, so buying in advance is much more convenient.
Itinerary
We recommend starting with the Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, where the colorful jellyfish under the lights create a dreamlike scene, perfect for taking photos. Next, head to the Seal Pavilion to see the adorable seals. Now for the highlights: the Marine Life Pavilion and Whale Pavilion have many precious specimens, where you can learn a lot about the ocean. Then, there's the incredible underwater tunnel! Stretching nearly 100 meters, walking in feels like being surrounded by fish from every angle, with sharks, turtles, and rays swimming right beside you—the feeling is indescribable. It's also a great place for taking photos; even a simple shot on the escalator has a great atmosphere.
Finally, head to the freshwater aquarium to see some unique freshwater creatures.
Show Times: Don't forget to check the times for the mermaid show and the shark and human show; they're spectacular. Arrive half an hour early to secure a good front-row seat.
Qingdao Underwater World is located on Laiyang Road in the south of the city, adjacent to Luxun Park, offering convenient transportation. The museum is divided into an intertidal zone, an underwater tunnel, and a ship cabin exhibit. The tunnel is 82 meters long, with moving walkways gently navigating the area. Manta rays, turtles, and sharks circling overhead create a striking visual experience. The Dreamy Jellyfish Palace, with its changing lights, creates a sense of immersion in the blue starry sky, perfect for photo ops. The shark-man dance and mermaid show are performed three times daily, with lively commentary that will keep children captivated. However, during National Day, crowds are high, and there are often three layers of mobile phones stacked against the glass, so avoid visiting during peak hours. Some tanks have scratches on the glass, which can be detrimental to the viewing experience. The export goods area is long, making it easy for children to cling to toys. Tickets are 170 yuan, and you can save 20 yuan by purchasing in advance on the official website. It's cheaper than Polar Ocean World, but the animal species are slightly smaller. It's recommended to enter at 9:00 AM, right when the gates open, to experience the tunnel first and then the show, which takes two hours. Overall, the museum has a 4-star rating and is suitable for families and couples. Remember to bring a jacket, as the temperature inside the museum is a constant 22°C.

We brought the kids here. There are so many small animals inside, and we especially loved the sharks—there were so many different kinds! The other animals were also incredibly cute and seemed very intelligent.
Overall, it was great value for money. For just over 200 yuan, I saw many shows and even rode the Ferris wheel. Although the Ferris wheel ride was a bit short, it was still nice when the weather was good.

The "Sage of Heaven's Kind" and the "Teacher of Ten Thousand Generations" – the long history and cultural heritage are vividly displayed here. The grandeur of the Dacheng Hall, the verdant ancient cypress trees, and the profound cultural depth are truly awe-inspiring. Here, one can deeply feel the enduring legacy of Confucian thought and culture, as if conversing with the sages across time. It is well worth experiencing firsthand!
The Temple of Confucius is grand and magnificent, with emperors of each dynasty adding to its splendor. The Confucius Family Mansion is a testament to the scholarly family, and the Confucius Cemetery is lush and green, though many tombstones are fallen and neglected, overgrown with weeds. Walking 20,000 steps, the cultural journey was truly worthwhile.

Our tour guide, Mr. Zhang, provided a nearly two-hour guided tour. He was very enthusiastic and engaging, and the price of only 150 yuan for two people was excellent. From the Guishan Han Tomb to the Dianshi Garden and then to the Imperial Edict Museum, we broadened our horizons and learned some fascinating new things. A super five-star review!
It felt quite historically significant, but without a guided tour, it lost a lot of its charm. We finished exploring in 30 minutes, and without the other two attractions, the 80 yuan was definitely not worth it.

It was a fantastic experience. We toured the interior of a real aircraft carrier, watched stunt car shows and water performances, and the final, spectacular long-running fireworks display was truly unforgettable.
The TEDA Aircraft Carrier Theme Park has a commercial street inside. Keep going straight, and the aircraft carrier is on your right-hand side of the plaza.
Wow, boarding the ship...it's so stuffy!
The deck is actually quite nice; you can go up and play around and enjoy the breeze.
