    Although the autumn leaves had fallen, there were still quite a few tourists. There was a long queue in front of the one-yuan-a-bowl crispy hot pot. After eating a bowl of crispy hot pot, I was actually full, haha! 😃 The time tunnel was beautiful; I'll come earlier next year. I didn't see any autumn leaves this time.

    不懂爱情的我不懂爱情的我

    The Danish classical building features blue-green walls, a red roof, and a combination of spires and irregularly sloping roofs. The courtyard contains fountains, stone bridges, and a miniature castle, creating a fairytale atmosphere. The eclectic style building, with a red roof and white columns, blends Chinese and Western elements. Designed in 1934 by Chinese and Russian architects, it now serves as a film-themed museum.

    Jiuru Mountain is worth visiting again and again! Every step from the entrance to the exit is a surprise. The waterfalls are incredibly photogenic, and the mountain scenery at dusk is breathtakingly gentle. The staff are warm and attentive, even recommending less-traveled spots to avoid the crowds. This trip was absolutely worthwhile; a definite five-star rating!

    The Yellow River Wetland is known as the international airport for migratory birds. Every early winter, migratory birds flying south pass through here. In the morning and evening, tens of thousands of birds form a huge bird wave spectacle, which is a very shocking visual feast.

    It was incredibly crowded, parking was difficult, and there were no staff directing traffic. Also, the ticket price was quite high, making it feel like poor value for money. The children's facilities inside were rather old, with many broken. However, the autumn scenery was beautiful, making it a great place for taking photos.

    Lingyan Temple is nestled in Lingyan Mountain, one of the twelve branches of Mount Tai. Surrounded by mountains, the valley is filled with ancient trees and flowing streams, resembling a paradise. The temple grounds are dotted with springs, including the Zhuoxi Spring, Shuanghe Spring, and Baihe Spring, as well as other famous springs such as Ganlu Spring and Jiasha Spring, whose clear waters flow year-round. Furthermore, in autumn, the temple's thousand-year-old ginkgo trees turn a brilliant golden yellow, a sight not to be missed.

    The scenery is quite beautiful, with mountainsides ablaze with autumn colors. The food halfway up the mountain is good. However, the overall cleanliness needs improvement, especially before entering the scenic area, where there's an overabundance of commercialization. I suggest focusing on quality over quantity, highlighting unique features.

    The performers were incredibly hardworking and impressive! 👍 It was a hot day, and there was air conditioning inside. Tickets for three people were over 190 yuan on Ctrip. Scalpers inside the park were 50 yuan per ticket, and Douyin was also cheaper. I paid more, but the experience was worth it. Go early in the morning to choose your seat; the front row is amazing! The F3 I chose had a cable to block it, but the E was even better. The clown was adorable, but it was a bit pricey at 60 yuan, which was worth the price per person...
