Things to do in Qixia

The Mou Family Manor is the largest and best-preserved feudal landlord manor in northern China, hailed as a "folk palace" and a "living fossil of a century-old manor." It is renowned for its "three carvings," "six oddities," and "nine wonders," particularly its colorful tiger-skin walls and unique designs such as "chimneys standing outside the gable walls," showcasing exquisite architectural craftsmanship. 🌾 The Mou Family Manor is more like an open-air architectural museum and a living folk painting. If you have a strong interest in ancient northern architecture, feudal family history, or Jiaodong folk culture, this place will definitely satisfy you.

The mountain is not very high, but the second half is very challenging. It is not recommended to climb alone, especially if you are afraid of heights. The service is also good. They will explain the climbing route very carefully. The scenery is pleasant and the view is wide enough.

When I went to Mou's Manor during the National Day holiday, I saw Taixu Palace and went there. It was well built, covered a large area, and not crowded. It may be related to publicity and transportation. It is relatively quiet and suitable for a slow visit.

Penglai Pavilion, renowned as a "fairyland on earth," has always been a place I long to visit. Upon entering the scenic area, a gate inscribed with Su Shi's calligraphy, "Penglai on Earth," comes into view. Crossing this gate feels like truly being shut out of the hustle and bustle of the world and stepping into a celestial realm. Ascending the main building of Penglai Pavilion, the view opens up dramatically. Looking north, the Changshan Islands resemble scattered pearls, while to the south, the Daoyu Water Village shimmers. On a clear day, one can witness the spectacular "Mandarin Duck Pot" phenomenon where the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea meet—one half azure, the other a muddy yellow, the boundary clearly defined, a masterpiece of nature. Inside the pavilion, the exquisite reliefs of the Eight Immortals drunkenly depict each with a unique expression, vividly reminiscent of the famous tale of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.

Excellent! I didn't expect to see such a complete winery on my first visit. The facilities are great, the service is exceptional, it's very large, and the scenery along the way is beautiful.

It's worth going and has a lot of fun.

Overall, it's a very unique themed museum, with highlights including historical exhibits, production line tours, and fresh beer tastings. During holidays, it gets very crowded, making the crawling experience less enjoyable. There may be short queues at the beer tasting area, so it's advisable to allow plenty of time for your visit. Overall, it's definitely worth checking out.

You absolutely must visit Laoshan by the sea! There are buses throughout the trip, so it's not tiring at all. The weather is great, with the sea and sky blending into one. Strolling around and soaking up the sun will put you in a wonderful mood. You can take your time and enjoy the scenery at your own pace in a day, without feeling rushed at all (o^^o).

The second-floor bar at the Changyu Museum was a delightful surprise! My legs were aching from exploring the wine cellar, so I simply lay down and relaxed here. The bar is decorated with calligraphy and paintings, and the spacious lounge area has a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Order a drink, enjoy the breeze, and chat – it's the perfect way to end your visit. Don't miss it!

There were many seagulls on the boat, and the scenery was beautiful. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great when we went; it started raining when we arrived at Donghong Fortress. The scenery would have been even more beautiful on a sunny day.
