Dayi Mountain is the Taishan mountainous branch of Dayi Mountain, which was born in the Archaic period. It was named after Yin Yi, the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty who once lived here. There are many strange stones and strange caves on the mountain, as well as stone plaques and rock paintings with long history. The stone Buddha temple ruins on the mountain are not as magnificent as the stone Buddha temple under the mountain, but they also have their own unique charm. After climbing to the mountain, you can look down on the entire Guanyun County.Guanyun · 3.1km from downtown

Crowned as "The King of the Five Sacred Mountains", Mount Tai has been one of China's most famous mountain peaks since ancient times. A large and impressive rock mass covering 25,000 ha and rising to 1,545 m above the surrounding plateau, Mount Taishan is considered one of the most beautiful scenic spots in China and was an important cradle of oriental East Asian culture since the earliest times. The mountain was an important object of the cult worship of mountains even before 219 BCE, when the Qin Emperor paid tribute to the mountain to inform the gods of his success in unifying all of China. Watching the sunrise and catching the spectacular sea of clouds are common activities that visitors engage in. You are also encouraged to explore the ancient sites, engravings, and religious temples to understand the role of Mount Tai in China's long history.China · Tai'an

The Tsingtao Beer Museum is located at No. 56 Dengzhou Road, the birthplace of Tsingtao beer. This century-old factory, housed in a 1903 German-style industrial complex, witnesses China's beer industry journey from its infancy to prominence. As China's first beer-themed model for industrial heritage revitalization, the museum transforms weathered red-brick workshops into immersive spaces using precious early equipment like old motors, mash kettles, and boiling kettles. Visitors walking through the century-old memory corridor can touch over 30,000 artifacts from the German occupation era while overlooking the smart production lines of the "lighthouse factory" through glass walls. Through the dialogue between traditional wooden fermentation tanks and fully automated filling equipment, they decode the evolution of Chinese manufacturing from artisanal heritage to digital transformation. With the innovative concept of "living heritage + technological empowerment," the museum breaks free from the static display constraints of industrial sites. The VR brewing lab allows visitors to become brewers adjusting malt ratios, while the hop recognition system decodes the scientific secrets behind beer flavors. Personalized beer label printing customizes brews, turning taste into portable urban memories. This cultural landmark, bearing Qingdao's industrial DNA, not only showcases its benchmark value in cultural-tourism integration through honors like "national first-class museum" and "China's top 10 cultural heritage tourism cases," but also injects more sustainable vitality into the century-old factory by being selected as a "national cultural industry demonstration base." It continues to brew the city's cultural richness from industrial heritage amid the tides of time.China · Qingdao

There are four main entrances (east, south, west, and north), with most visitors starting their tour at the south entrance on Great Rainbow Bridge Road. This renowned lakeside garden boasts breathtaking natural views.

For centuries, countless literati have lingered here, composing poetry and creating paintings that left behind numerous artistic treasures and stories. The site also features many landscape structures ingeniously designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings. The Five Pavilion Bridge in Shugang Slender West Lake Scenic Area is the iconic attraction with over 200 years of history. Featuring five wind pavilions atop, each of the bridge's fifteen arches cradles a moon during full moon nights. Another renowned attraction is the Twenty-Four Bridge, inspired by Du Mu's poetic line "Where is the jade-like beauty teaching flute-playing on the moonlit Twenty-Four Bridge?" While the original bridge no longer exists, visitors can admire its reconstructed version today. This was also a stop during Emperor Qianlong's southern tours in the Qing Dynasty. Architectural views like the Great Rainbow Bridge, Slender West Lake Scenic Area's Fishing Terrace, White Pagoda, and the Twenty-Four Bridges' Xichun Platform all bear inseparable historical anecdotes connected to Emperor Qianlong. During summer nights, the illuminated pavilions and moonlit reflections on the lake create a magical atmosphere. The nightlife experience here is entirely boat-based, offering a relaxing way to beat the summer heat while enjoying gentle lake breezes.China · Yangzhou

Taohua Jian is located in the southern part of the Jinping Mountain. It is named because there are peach blossoms in spring all over there. There are both tall and straight trees and bare stones on the mountain, which feels like Chinese painting. There is not only a beautiful natural landscape, but also a great number of historic sites, such as the Neolithic site in Taohua Jian, the Neolithic Site in Erjian Village and the Shang Zhou Site in Jiulongkou.Lianyungang · 29.9km from Guanyun

The scenery is pleasant and lush with trees. Unfortunately, it was too hot today, with no wind at all, and my clothes were soaked with sweat. There were few people and no water sellers, so each person only brought one bottle of water up the mountain. I came down halfway up. It's a good place to visit around May Day or National Day.

Huaguo Mountain truly lives up to its reputation as a mythical mountain from Journey to the West! The forests are lush and verdant, and visiting the Water Curtain Cave feels like stepping into a mythical world. Climbing to the top of Jade Maiden Peak offers panoramic views and magnificent scenery. The scenic area has excellent facilities, allowing you to immerse yourself in Journey to the West culture throughout. It's perfect for family trips and well worth the visit. Okay

Standing on the sea-view Yuntaishan Scenic Area, you can see Lian Island and Lianyungang Port, which is a truly magical perspective. Yesterday I was on Lian Island, and today I can overlook it from above. There's a giant wing-shaped sign right outside the bus stop, and a photo spot at the "Sea Eagle" sign. If the sunlight is good, it's incredibly photogenic. There are also directional signs. Seeing this makes me want to sing, "I'm standing in Lianyungang, looking towards Beijing!" Hahaha!

One island, two bays, offering a variety of activities. Dasha Bay boasts a wide, soft beach, perfect for families to play in the sand, swim, and enjoy the water, with well-developed facilities. Suma Bay is quieter, with more reefs and relatively clearer water; the central seaside boardwalk is the highlight, offering panoramic views of the mountains, sea, and reefs—ideal for taking photos on a clear day, and also providing access to the peacock garden.

How could I possibly miss a trip to Mount Tai in my lifetime? And since I was there, how could I not challenge myself at night? I climbed to the top in over four hours, then huddled around like a beggar, finding places to sleep, hahaha, what an amazing experience!

The main attractions are the natural landscape, with Laolongtan Waterfall and Canglong Cave being the core sights, making it perfect for families with children to enjoy water activities. The downsides are that the scenery is significantly diminished during the dry season due to low water levels, and the stone paths are slippery, so caution is advised. Summer night tours also feature performances such as iron flower displays.

The museum is large with plenty to see. The beer is delicious, and the beer nuts are tasty too. There's a huge variety of souvenirs, and they're all beautifully made. Try to go early, otherwise the queues at the entrance will waste a lot of time.

100 yuan is alright; the scenery is quite nice, with lots of swans and ducks. Sitting on the boat, listening to the boatwoman's explanations, was very comfortable. After it rained at the Twenty-Four Bridges, we transferred to the park's shuttle bus. It cost 20 yuan and took about 10 minutes. After that, I explored the surrounding area on my own. If you have enough time and energy, I think exploring on foot and slowly appreciating the scenery would be very pleasant.

Yangkou Scenic Area isn't very strenuous, but it's mostly steps. This is especially unfriendly to people with bad knees, as the entire route is almost entirely stairs with no uphill climbing. Many people buy cable car tickets. However, buying the cable car means missing out on the opportunity to enjoy the scenery while walking. It's truly a difficult choice.

I found it online. The place is a little off-center. There are not many facilities around. There are few people during the festival. The scenery is also good. There are mountains and streams. The wild actors in the festival are very hard-working. It is worth recommending as a holiday off-peak attraction.
