Haidai Tower is known as 'the ancient capital of Qi, the new mansion of Zibo', with a height of 67 meters, a total of 10 floors, 9 above ground; 1 underground 🤩 • Haidai Tower Zhongshuge showcases 'one floor one feature, one corner for culture' 😁 It is the cultural corridor of Shandong Province, and also the hottest 🔥 check-in treasure spot in Zibo 📸 Because I went there late and it was crowded, I couldn't visit every floor 🥲 So I can't display the photos here 😩 Let me briefly introduce each floor of Haidai Tower, currently only some floors B1, 1, 2, 5..... are open Basement one: Entertainment venue 🤹🏻 with a row of claw machines 🧸 and some comic books, further inside there's a paid indoor children's playground 🎠 First floor: Stepping in from the entrance, the uniquely designed bookshelves are filled with tiles, giving the space a touch of retro flair 🤩 Inside there are also different styles of book halls for everyone to pretend to be sophisticated and take photos📷 Second floor: Suitable for elementary school students' books and magazines 📖, the colorful dopamine setup is very cute 🥰 Third floor: Also Zhongshuge, with a magical world style design that everyone rushes to for photo check-ins 🪄 Fifth floor: Literary bar 🍷 Why literary?

Although Zibo is close by, it was my first formal visit. The plan was to go before it became too popular, but the trip was postponed to April, a time for celebrating with my beloved. We headed west to Jixia, the home of the Qi king, where the festive atmosphere soothes the common folk's hearts. I've seen this city, these roads, these people before, but it feels like a clear glass day, with the brilliance of oranges. I'm happy for Zibo. Later that same year, I took a detour through Zibo again to visit the Haidai Tower, which I couldn't squeeze into before. I feel that everything is there, but it's just different. Visiting Zibo is like boiling plain noodles in water - you still need to sprinkle some finely chopped green onions, as if confronting the blandness of everyday life head-on. Short Trip Itinerary 📆【Travel Guide】 📆Itinerary: We didn't stay in Zibo for too long. After getting off the train, we headed straight to Wuyue Plaza for a meal🍚, and then quickly went to Daiyue Tower! 🚗Transportation Tips: Hello Bike solves everything haha - it's very convenient and affordable. Using the mini-program to hail a ride is also very handy! 🌟Highlights of the Trip: How can you visit Zibo without going to Haidai Tower, and how can you visit Haidai Tower without going to Zhongshuge? The best time to visit Haidai Tower is in the evening! You can take advantage of the sunset to see the whole view, and when the lights come on at night, you'll hear exclamations of awe haha Zhongshuge is incredibly beautiful, but it's also very crowded. We were basically pushed forward by the crowd, and the popular photo spots were all cordoned off, probably because they're dangerous⚠️, so sisters who love to take photos should be careful~

Let's talk about the location first, it's inside the Qisheng Lake Park on Zhongrun Avenue, Zhangdian District, Zibo City, officially named Haidai Tower Zhongshuge. I revisited Haidai Tower and was still amazed by its beauty. Looking at its exterior, it boasts the grandeur of ancient architecture during the day, and at night, it adds a touch of bustling color; looking inside, the distinct and unique decoration and layout attract many people to stop and take photos. 🌟 Highlights: The moment when the Chaoran Tower in Jinan lights up had once gone viral on the internet, and I feel that when Haidai Tower lights up, it can compete with it, both are stunning. The park has a free parking lot, which makes parking convenient. There are also small bridges and flowing water in the park, making it especially nice to stroll around during this season of blooming flowers and green willows, whether in the afternoon or evening.
