The "drunk and forget the way home" described by Li Qingzhao is real...

Li Qingzhao didn't lie to me! Northern China has its own Jiangnan water town... I thought Baotu Spring in Jinan was beautiful, until I... until I came to Li Qingzhao's hometown, Zhangqiu, Jinan, which has both the charm of northern ancient architecture and the charm of Jiangnan water towns. [About the Trip] Take the high-speed train to Jinan, and after playing in Jinan for two or three days Take a taxi/self-drive for 1 hour to Mingshui Ancient City, taxi fare is about 90 .... [My Travel Route] Day 1: Check in to Mingshui Street, take a sculling boat (one-way 60, round-trip 100), visit the Meng Family Courtyard to see the intangible cultural heritage Zhangqiu Bangzi, climb the city tower to overlook, and watch the spring show at night. Day 2: Have breakfast at Zaojiu Market, visit Moquan Longquan Temple → Baimai Spring, Li Qingzhao's Former Residence, Meihua Spring, Shuyu Spring [About Food and Accommodation] Before going, I did a lot of research, wanting to take my mom to have fun in the ancient city without rushing, and to slowly stroll around, watch performances, and enjoy the spring show. So I chose to stay in the ancient city, and I'm glad I made the right choice √ Unlimited access to the scenic area, very convenient √ Free tickets for staying in the scenic area, free shuttle bus, free breakfast √ Exclusive viewing spot for the spring show There are food and drinks in the ancient city, and there are convenience stores and coffee shops at the entrance. There are also a few restaurants, I tried the home-cooked dishes at Jiangxiang Courtyard, which were quite good. You can also try the local specialties such as spring water lamb soup, hanging stove biscuits, braised pork, meatball soup, tofu pudding... The entire ancient city is built on the ancient Baimai Spring in Zhangqiu, with the city built along the spring veins, the city relying on the water, and the water embracing the city. The flowing spring water injects "soul" into the entire ancient city. With blue bricks and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, you can take a sculling boat and shuttle through the ancient city. The "drunk and forget the way home" described by Li Qingzhao is real...

2 hours from Beijing, the "Northern Jiangnan Town" is seriously underestimated.
