The following is a travelogue filled with the warmth of everyday life and culture, taking you on a journey through Jimo, a neglected, thousand-year-old ancient city, and measuring 600 years of time with your tongue and your feet. 🏮"Jimo | In the alleys of this 600-year-old ancient city, I tasted the most authentic Shandong flavor." A celebrity-themed filter: only old stoves, old neighbors, and a tear-jerking taste of home. Location: Jimo Ancient City & surrounding old neighborhoods, Qingdao, Shandong. Recommended duration: 1 day | 🚗 Travel method: High-speed rail/self-drive (40 minutes from downtown Qingdao). Cost per person: 100 yuan | 📌 Keywords: Jimo Ancient City | Authentic Shandong cuisine | Old street fireworks | Intangible cultural heritage snacks | Slow living 📢 Opening statement: Michelin-rated Shandong cuisine, and a check-in at an internet-famous pancake shop, the true Shandong flavor that made me want to cry wasn't found in a star-rated hotel, but in a little-known old alley in Jimo. A bowl of pork ribs and rice, simmered for two hours in an iron pot, the hot broth poured over the brown rice, and the grandmotherly proprietress's words, "Eat it while it's hot, kiddo." Authenticity isn't about refinement, but about having people waiting for you to come home for dinner. 🏛️ Who is Jimo? One of the five capitals of the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it boasts a history of over 2,000 years. The existing ancient city, a relic from the Ming Dynasty, was restored and opened in 2015. It's not a purely replica of an ancient tourist attraction, but a living, breathing old town. It's free of over-commercialization. Elderly people bask in the sun at their doorsteps, housewives pick vegetables at alley entrances, and delicious food is hidden in these everyday moments. It's Qingdao's "cultural hometown" and, in my opinion, one of the most worthwhile northern cities to explore. 🚶My one day in Jimo: from the morning light of the ancient city to the night dinner in the alley🕐08:30|Walk into Jimo Ancient City in the early morning-Enter from the south gate "Ying'en Gate", there are few tourists, and the stone pavement is shimmering with morning light. The ancient county government office, Confucian Temple, and the former site of the Wanzi Society stand quietly and are open to the public free of charge-Recommended actions:- Touch the blue bricks of the ancient city wall, listen to the historical stories in the audio guide, and listen to a dialect rap at the "Jiaodong Drum" Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum (performances are held at 10:00 every day)🕐 10:00|Turn into the old streets and alleys outside the ancient city and start the "flavor-hunting mode"✅Here comes the point: the real food is not in the main street of the ancient city, but in the old residential areas on the periphery! 🍜 First stop: Laojiefang Tofu Pudding (next to Tongji Street Vegetable Market) 3 yuan a bowl, tender tofu is served in a white porcelain bowl, topped with broth, coriander, and chili oil. The owner uses a century-old broth that is brewed fresh every day. The rich bean aroma is paired with a freshly fried dough stick, which is crispy and dipped in the soup. It is a must-try breakfast. Photo Tip: Eat it while squatting on a small stool, the picture is full of life. 🥟 Second stop: Wangjia Steamed Buns (Old Shop on Yingliu Road) - The "Steamed Bun King" that locals have been eating since childhood has been open for over 30 years: leek lard buns and cabbage and tofu buns with thin skin and large fillings. When the steamer is opened, white mist rises, and the soup overflows with one bite. 10 yuan per person, one tray is not enough! Warm reminder: There will be a long queue from 11:30 to 12:30 noon, so it is recommended to avoid peak hours. 🍚The third stop: Iron Pot Stew by the Ancient City (Beiguan Street Residential Area). I spent the whole morning searching for this "hidden shop". The door was so small that I almost missed the big iron pot. They stewed pork ribs + potatoes + vermicelli + cabbage, which was simmered on low heat for 2 hours. The rice was a mixture of brown rice and millet. It was so fragrant that the neighbors came to ask the proprietress. She is a native of Jimo. While serving the rice, she said, "Here, the rice is more substantial than the people." I ate two bowls and my eyes were a little hot when I left. 🕐 15:00|Check out the intangible cultural heritage: Jimo Lace & Old Distillery Jimo Lace Museum: Watch the grandmothers embroider the "King of Drawnwork" with shuttles, as delicate as lace, and buy small pieces as souvenirs Jimo Old Distillery (such as "East China Distillery"): The representative of northern Chinese yellow wine, slightly sweet with a burnt aroma, perfect with seafood. You can try it, 5 yuan/small cup, and you can also bottle it to take away (20 yuan/bottle) 🕐 18:00|Dinner: BBQ stall at the corner of the alley, eat with human touch Found an open-air barbecue downstairs of a residential building with several tables. The owner and waiter ordered: grilled oysters, grilled small fish, grilled steamed bun slices, and a bottle of Laoshan White Beer. The grilled leeks: They use broad-leaved leeks grown in-house, brushed with sauce and grilled until slightly burnt, and the aroma is so fragrant. The owner said: "We don't take takeout, only business with acquaintances." 🌙 That night, I sat on a small stool and chatted. The ancient city wall glowed warmly under the night light. I felt that the most beautiful part of traveling is not how many landscapes you see, but being treated as one of "one of our own" by a city. 📝Jimo Food List (Local Verified) Food Recommended Shop Address Average Price per Person: Tofu Pudding, Laojiefang Tofu Pudding, next to Tongji Street Vegetable Market, 3 RMB; Steamed Bun, Wang's Steamed Bun, 128 Yingliu Road, 10 RMB; Rice, Tieguodun Laodian, Beiguan Street Residential Area (Unnamed), 25 RMB; BBQ, Liji Late-Night Canteen, at the entrance of Chengbei Alley, 40 RMB; Jimo Old Wine, Huadong Distillery Direct Store, next to the East Gate of the Ancient City, 20 RMB/bottle 🚇 Getting There🚄 High-Speed Rail: Qingdao North Station/Qingdao Station → Jimo North Station (18 minutes, 20 RMB)🚗 Self-Driving: Navigate to "Jimo Ancient City South Gate"; free parking is available.🚌 Bus: Take Metro Line 11 from downtown Qingdao to Gaoyu Station and transfer to the bus.

Tired of the check-in travel, Jimo. In the folds of the 600-year-old ancient city, a meal will take you back to the taste of "home".
