It is worth seeing if you take your children to visit, from south to north; the ancient buildings are grand in scale, showing the country's grandeur; the ancient trees are towering and block out the sun, reflecting the antiquity; there are many kinds of ancient steles, from the Li Si Stele of the Qin Dynasty to modern times, reflecting many important historical and cultural information.
The scenery was average, but there were still a lot of people. There was nothing to do except go upstairs. For our family outing, we opted for a full hike up the mountain, from Hongmen to the summit of Yuhuang Peak. The summit was cloudy. Descending by cable car and bus, we were treated to a sunset by the time we reached Zhongtianmen. The main goal was to have a good meal without any bitterness. The cable car took 7 minutes, and the ticket price seemed a bit expensive.

Overall it's good, the front may be boring, and then the adventure is really not worth it, it's better to just buy the tickets for Hall A + Hall B. The beer given at the back is really delicious, the overall atmosphere is also very good, I am very happy after drinking it, it may be more fun to go at night, there is a tilted house inside, which is very interesting
Because I was too lazy to leave, I went at 6:00 AM, perfectly avoiding rush hour and getting in without a line. The entire route takes less than an hour, which is plenty of time. The package includes two beers, which are excellent, much better than those outside. You have to buy ice cream separately, so you can try it.

The sage's hometown, unprecedented in history, resonates with his voice, forever celebrated. The 1+9 structure of the Dacheng Hall (one of the three main halls) highlights the sage's stature. The towering palace walls protect the cultural heritage of China.
The itinerary was a bit rushed, so I booked a guided tour and followed the guide around the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Temple. The One-Person Alley in the Confucius Mansion and the intrigue in the Confucius Temple left a deep impression on me! Compared to other similar temples, the tickets are still a bit expensive.

There are five pavilions in total, and it's crucial to visit them in order, avoiding backtracking. First, visit the Jellyfish Pavilion, then the Seal Pavilion. From the Seal Pavilion, you can take a 30-minute boat ride out to sea, where you'll see the Naval Museum and the pier. After disembarking, continue to the Whale Pavilion, where the most breathtaking experience is the underwater world.
Stepping into Qingdao Ocean Park is like falling into a blue dreamscape. In the underwater tunnel, schools of colorful fish swim overhead and beside you, seemingly within reach. Giant sea turtles glides through the water with a leisurely, carefree air. Penguins sway gracefully, their bodies adorable. Beluga whales swim gracefully, dancing with their trainers in heartwarming scenes. During the dolphin show, their leaps soar, stirring up sparkling water, agile and lively. After my visit, I was completely captivated by the wonders of the ocean.

The guide was very detailed and patient, and very confident. She was also very interactive. I highly recommend booking a reservation. It was a very good experience.
The Guishan Han Tomb houses the joint burial site of Liu Zhu, the Sixth King of Chu during the Western Han Dynasty, and his wife. The authentic passageway offers a truly immersive experience. The most fascinating part is the shadow cast on the wall behind Liu Zhu's coffin, a mystery that has endured for centuries!

Tianjin Teda Aircraft Carrier Theme Park, centered around the aircraft carrier "Kiev," is perfect for military enthusiasts and families. Visitors can board a real aircraft carrier to experience the military atmosphere, while the thrilling "Carrier Storm" show, combined with special effects, recreates real combat scenes. The park also features a Russian-style street and submarine exhibition, offering both entertainment and educational opportunities. While some facilities are a bit dated, admission is high. Overall, it's worth a visit, especially for those interested in naval culture.
Our family of four visited the TEDA Aircraft Carrier Scenic Area! Inside the park, there's a wide variety of food, including Russian bread, sausage, and pickled cucumbers. There's also Tianjin-style noodles, and more! The kids took photos with Russian nesting dolls! The TEDA Aircraft Carrier and the Haiying destroyer showcase the nation's strength and are well worth a visit. The extreme coaster rides are thrilling, the aircraft carrier storm bursts are thrilling, and the amphibious ship cruise, unlike other scenic areas, is also worth a try! Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the submarine because it closed due to lack of time!

There are two beaches, but they can't be compared with the beaches in Sanya. You can only play casually. The transportation within the scenic area is relatively convenient, so you don't have to walk much. With the elderly and children, the weather was too hot, so we basically didn't play much and ended our trip here.
It's definitely worth the trip. Children under 1.4 meters are free. A sightseeing ticket is a must-buy, as it's a great way to enjoy the scenery. First, take the miniature train to Dashawan. The beach is clean and the water is clear. Showers are 10 yuan for adults and 5 yuan for those under 1.4 meters. Then take the sightseeing bus to Sumawan. The waves are strong, so it's not suitable for swimming, but it's great for taking photos and making a vow. Finally, take the bus back to the visitor center. Parking is free. Items in the scenic area are also reasonably priced, with a single piece of Kawaii for 5 yuan. There are also shops like Shanghai Auntie. The experience is excellent, with great value for money.

Guoxiu Langya is quite good, but the seating arrangement in Area A is a bit of a problem. Seats 1-2 at the front aren't as good as those in Area 2-2, and I don't know why you can't choose the higher seats. So, I spent the money for Area A but didn't get the full experience! That's a bit disappointing. Otherwise, it's quite fun. There are many performances, but the crowds are also quite large, so you have to fight for a spot. It's quite hot during the day, but better at night! The water show is nice and well worth seeing.
- Special Performances: Langya Grand Theater, built with the utmost care and dedication by Langya Ancient Town, is the largest indoor professional theater for tourist performances in Jiangbei. Its folding canopy and lifting picture frame are national firsts. The scenic area has presented large-scale tourist performances such as "National Show · Langya," "Only Langya," "Water Show," and "Fire Show," which have accumulated over 15,000 performances. - Tourism Experience: Visitors to Langya Ancient Town can stroll through the bluestone streets and admire traditional handicrafts such as paper-cutting, a cultural heritage, and immerse themselves in its rich cultural heritage. They can also savor local specialties such as wolf tooth grilled skewers and seafood tofu pudding, enjoying a unique atmosphere intertwined with history and fireworks.

The 🐒 in Huaguoshan is as friendly as it is said to be. You can feed it at close range, but you can't laugh at it. When you are feeding it, if someone laughs at it, it will show a "baring teeth" expression while eating, as if it is angry at you, which is very funny!
Huaguo Mountain is incredibly famous and a must-see destination in Lianyungang. As the highest peak in Jiangsu, it's certainly worth seeing. As for Water Curtain Cave, a man-made cave carved with great effort, it's actually quite insignificant.

Stepping into Badaguan feels like entering a wondrous world of international architecture. Villas of diverse styles stand side by side, from Gothic spires soaring into the sky, to Baroque carvings intricately carved and elegant, to the simple and tranquil Japanese architecture. Every detail tells a story of the past. The trees lining the roads change color with the seasons. In spring, Shaoguan Road is covered in clouds of emerald peach trees; in autumn, Juyongguan Road is covered in golden ginkgo trees. Strolling along, the gentle sea breeze sweeps away the hustle and bustle of the world, enchanting the body and mind in this unique atmosphere where history and nature intertwine.
Badaguan is a famous tourist attraction in Qingdao. The Butterfly Building, Princess Building and Spanish Style Building are very famous. You can buy a combined ticket to visit them. The three buildings have their own characteristics and unique historical style, which are worth visiting. It is very photogenic here. You can also increase your knowledge and learn a lot of cultural connotations by visiting. In general, Badaguan is worth visiting.
