I searched Ctrip for the top-rated must-see attraction, one of the few museums with a fee. I couldn't find a ticket, so I had to buy one that included the "Bacchus's Adventure" section. My two adults and two children spent about an hour and a half exploring the entire place, a very leisurely pace. We first watched "Bacchus's Adventure," which consisted of a video projection explaining the story of the god of wine, but it wasn't particularly impressive. Then we went to Hall A, which explained the company's history and evolution, and then Hall B, which covered the beer-making process. You could get a free small bag of peanuts and a beer to try, and you could get another free beer when you passed the beer restaurant on your way out. Funny enough, we took an online taxi on our way back, and the driver, a Qingdao local, said they'd been drinking Tsingtao beer their whole lives and had no idea there was such a museum. No one from Qingdao would even come to see it. I seriously suspect that the top-rated must-see attraction on Ctrip was a capital investment by Tsingtao Beer. Honestly, it's not worth the price.

Qingdao Polar Ocean Park is truly amazing! Beluga whales, dolphins, penguins, polar bears...the variety of polar marine animals is dazzling to see, and the performances are thrilling and interactive. The venue is thoughtfully designed, the underwater tunnel is fantastical, and the scientific information is fascinating. It's perfect for bringing family and friends, and the experience is fantastic. Highly recommended!
It had everything you'd expect, just like any other aquarium. The ice cave was decent, but the Ferris wheel was the kind that had a 2-hour wait and took 10 minutes to complete. It was better to just watch the Ferris wheel from below. Tickets are also quite expensive.

Taking children on a study tour in Qufu, the Confucius Mansion, the Confucius Temple, and the Confucius Cemetery all revolve around Confucius' lifelong exploration of poetry, literature, propriety, and morality. Letting children be immersed in the culture and literature is a beautiful wish that parents should have long-term plans for. Every dynasty, ancient and modern, has revered cultural knowledge. We should be polite, act wisely, know when to advance and retreat, and be always thoughtful.
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.

I went to Qingdao Underwater World with my family during the holiday. I hadn't been there in years, and I had the same impression of it. But after visiting, I found that it had changed a lot. This year's performances were especially rich. I was surprised to see the Egg Party. My daughter loved it when she was little, and it was really cute. I also saw the new changes in the underwater world.
A visit to Qingdao Underwater World at night is a magical ocean journey. Illuminated by the lights, jellyfish sway gracefully, like dreamlike spirits. Fish dart through tunnels, creating a sense of the deep sea. Sea turtles swim leisurely, their movements captivating. The diverse marine life showcases its unique charm, and the diverse nightlife activities are sure to captivate you. The atmosphere is truly mysterious and romantic, a true escape from the hustle and bustle of the world. The staff are attentive, and the facilities are comprehensive. This is an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend experiencing this magical night in the underwater world.

It's suitable for a leisurely stroll on a cloudy and not hot day. The animal interaction is a bit of a rip-off. It costs 20 yuan to feed 3 grass to the Kapipa. The butterflies in the butterfly specimen experience hall are very beautiful. The giraffes are very cute. I like that you can see giraffes up close.
It's quite fun and you could spend a whole day there, especially the raptor area, which was a real treat. You can buy animal feed to feed the animals, and you can even make butterfly specimens on the second floor of the science museum near the panda house. It's a great way to both learn and have fun.

The artwork inside is really beautiful, especially the large wood carvings, which are very majestic. The Spring City on the first floor is very beautiful and very informative, but many of the interactive ones are broken, and the children's experience is not strong. It can be updated.
Daming Lake in Jinan is one of Jinan's three major historical sites, said to be formed by the confluence of Jinan's numerous springs. During my trip to Jinan, I stayed near Daming Lake. From my room's terrace, I could overlook Chaoran Tower, and the Daming Lake scenic area was just 20 meters away. The environment was truly exceptional. I also had a wonderful time with Daming Lake Park. The park is vast, integrating waterscapes, gardens, and ancient architecture. Pavilions, towers, winding paths, and corridors are arranged in a staggered pattern. The lake and mountain scenery is breathtaking. "Lotus flowers on four sides, willows on three sides, half a city of mountains, half a city of lakes" is the perfect description of Daming Lake's scenery. In the evening, Daming Lake begins to bustle with activity, as people come out for after-dinner strolls, activities, and relaxation to unwind after a long day. Tourists in Hanfu (Chinese traditional costumes) take photos in front of Chaoran Tower; vendors set up night market stalls selling food, drinks, and souvenirs; square dancing, drumming, and shuttlecock kicking are all part of the atmosphere, creating a joyful scene. Buy a ticket and go up to Chaoran Tower to overlook the entire Jinan city. Under the light, it is so beautiful that you will never want to leave.

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 German Governor's Office is still worth a visit. After purchasing the ticket, you can visit the interior. It is very beautiful and has many rooms, which can show the luxurious life at that time.
The former German Governor's Palace in Qingdao is well worth the price of admission. It boasts high architectural value: Combining typical German Wilhelmine architectural styles with Jugendstil influences, it embodies the European castle-style architecture, incorporating elements of Classicism, Rococo, castle architecture, and Chinese styles. It exemplifies architectural inclusiveness, harmony, and monumentality, and was praised by Liang Sicheng as a masterpiece of architectural art that blends diverse Eastern and Western cultural concepts. It also boasts significant historical and cultural significance: It served as the residence of the Governor-General of Jiaozhou Bay during the German occupation, and later as the official residence of the Commander of the Japanese garrison in Qingdao and the Kuomintang Mayor in Qingdao. It bears witness to the transformations of Qingdao's modern history and offers a valuable window into the history of Qingdao and Sino-German relations. The interior exhibits and collections are extensive: The museum has restored the service rooms and storage facilities of the original Governor-General's Residence. It also houses pianos such as Steinway and Blüthner, the latter with ivory-veneered keys. The ballroom boasts a large copper and crystal chandelier weighing one ton, and a general's chair, a symbol of majesty and power. The museum boasts a rich array of supporting facilities and cultural activities: VR panoramic displays and audio guides are available, along with regular photo exhibitions, thematic exhibitions, and exhibitions of artifacts, as well as hands-on learning and intangible cultural heritage experiences, ensuring a richer and more in-depth visitor experience. Beautiful Surroundings: Located in the heart of Qingdao's historic city, the museum boasts a beautiful setting. The lawn of the Governor's Mansion Museum showcases miniatures of Qingdao's iconic international architecture. After touring the Governor's Mansion, visitors can stroll around the area and enjoy the beautiful city views. Guidelines, explanations, explanations are a must! A cursory tour misses the essence; understanding history is far more engaging!

The location is excellent, and you can walk to the east gate of the ancient city. The room is very clean and air-conditioned. The service at the front desk and restaurant is also very warm. In particular, the aunt who cooks in the restaurant reflects the hospitality of the Shandong people.
Taierzhuang Ancient City is famous for "live ancient canal", the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through the city, 15 kilometers of water street water lanes series of Huizhou, northern, southern Anhui and other eight architectural styles, forming "one river fishing fire, ten miles of song" poetic picture. During the night tour, the rocking boat passed through the lights and shadows, the fire dragon steel flower non-legacy performance was shocking, and the Liuqin play was melodious. 53 field relics such as the war site in the ancient city, the General Administration of General Affairs and other sites told the history. After the restoration, Lunan cuisine and Jiangnan style were integrated, and the aroma of yellow beef noodles and spicy chicken was overflowing. The surrounding Shuanglong Lake Wetland Bird Watching Park can enjoy the ecological secret environment. The tickets include unlimited admission for two days, which is very cost-effective.
