My trip to Mount Tai was a wonderful experience, a place steeped in history. The majestic peaks bear witness to the passage of time, the ancient buildings embody cultural heritage, and the entire climb was filled with a profound historical atmosphere.
It was very convenient. The two of us bought our tickets on-site around the end of August. There weren't many people. We happened to encounter heavy fog that day, but the ferry service wasn't canceled, which felt quite lucky. We smoothly made our way to Nantianmen.

The attraction is worth visiting. The pavilions and towers are beautifully designed, the streams and bridges are refreshing, and there are many fun interactive activities. Although the ticket is expensive, it allows three entries, so it's still quite worthwhile.
The park was filled with snow, and I thought it wouldn't be crowded. But to my surprise, the games were fun, the performances were very realistic, and there were many audience members. The scenes of historical figures patriotizing and protecting their people drew rounds of applause!

I went to Jinan in July for Xu Song's concert, and the Baotu Spring was absolutely stunning! I'm so envious of the kids in Jinan. It was the hottest time of summer, and I saw so many children playing in the water. It was so lovely! The water in Jinan is so clear and beautiful!
This is a place I visited during a layover on my way to a primary school textbook. Overall, it was alright; a large park with beautiful scenery. There are springs throughout the park, and the water is quite clean. Baotu Spring was pretty much as I imagined, with three springs bubbling upwards. Seeing it in person was quite nice. However, the ticket price of 40 yuan isn't very cost-effective.

The ticket price is excellent value! We used a three-day pass and went for two days. On the first day, we played from the afternoon until almost closing time. There were tons of interactive NPCs, various games, and a fantastic atmosphere. The night view was stunning, and the food and drinks inside were very reasonably priced. I would definitely bring my kids here if I have the chance.
It's quite fun; I visit this place every time I come. The only downside is that there's nowhere to charge your phone. There are plenty of outlets in Qingyuan Park, but not a single one here. You have to use a power bank, and it takes forever to charge your phone.

It's best to visit during the off-season, as you can enjoy the small theater performances at a more relaxed pace without the exhaustion of rushing from one show to another. The most difficult show to get a turn for, the red-faced one, only required a less than 30-minute wait; for most others, arriving a little early ensured a good viewing experience.
Today's visit to "Only Henan: A City of Theatrical Fantasy" deeply moved me.
In the grand narrative of *The Railway Station Theater*, I witnessed a poignant and intense brotherly bond—Li Shiyi, the elder brother of Li Shiba, harboring an almost tragic tolerance and boundless love for his brother. The horrors of the 1942 Henan famine were reenacted on stage, the desperate scene of starving people scrambling for food was suffocating. When Li Shiyi, desperately seeking some life-saving seeds from his brother, the stationmaster, learned that the price would be his brother's life, his world crumbled instantly. Ultimately, Li Shiba opened the granary to distribute the grain, sacrificing himself in the process. Li Shiyi's madness and breakdown upon learning all this vividly portrayed the struggle of humanity under extreme circumstances.
The smaller theater production *Wheat, Oh Wheat* depicts the resilient landscape of the people of Henan, who have depended on the land for thousands of years. Those simple and hardworking farmers, dedicating their lives to the wheat fields, saw wheat not only as food but also as their roots and soul. With the southward advance of the Jin army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Henan was forever cut off from the dynastic capital, a historical turning point tinged with desolation and regret.
Another short play, "Su Shi's Henan," succinctly portrays the tumultuous life of the literary giant Su Shi in just thirty minutes. From his initial fame through the imperial examinations, to his repeated demotions and fluctuating fortunes, until his eventual pardon but failure to return to the capital Bianjing, where he died and was buried in Henan, his poetry is filled with a magnanimous outlook on life and an optimistic view of hardship. Yet, isn't this also a kind of spiritual transcendence under the pressure of reality? Behind that "forced magnanimity" lies a profound undercurrent of unfulfilled ambition throughout his life.
This trip was not merely a theatrical experience, but a profound dialogue with the land, history, and the depths of human nature.

I hired a guide, and the explanation was quite detailed. I gained a better understanding of the official history. I also caught a performance in the afternoon, which was a good experience. And I must say, the restrooms in the scenic area were very clean.

I've heard about the Guishan Han Tomb for a long time, and I finally got to see it this time. To be honest, if you're just looking at the scenery, it's just average. But if you're interested in the history, then it's definitely worth a visit.
The 80 yuan entrance fee is quite expensive. The tomb itself is definitely worth seeing; it vividly portrays the ingenuity of ancient craftsmen and the oppression of the common people by the imperial family. Besides the Guishan Han Tomb, there are two other nearby attractions, which are worth visiting for the entrance fee.

Jiaozuo Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area: Visit the summit of Yuntai Mountain, Zhuyu Peak (1297 meters above sea level), the origin of the saying "Where there are dogwood branches, one less person"; check out the glass walkway at Phoenix Ridge (haha, it's really not scary at all); visit Xiaozhaigou, and explore Tanpu Gorge, Longevity Peach Stone, Golden Dragon Lying on the Waves, Immortal Spring, and Tang King's Sword Testing Stone, etc.
Tanpu Gorge, also known as Xiaozhaigou, stretches for 2 kilometers and enjoys a mild climate with warm winters and cool summers. Due to abundant surface and groundwater from the north, as well as the joints and fissures in the local limestone and dolomite, Tanpu Gorge features high cliffs and deep valleys, with springs every three steps, waterfalls every five steps, and pools every ten steps, earning it the name "Tanpu River" (meaning "Pool and Waterfall Valley"). Walking upstream along the gorge, one encounters cascading waterfalls such as "Lover's Waterfall," "Golden Dragon Lying on the Waves," "Fountain of Youth," "Water Curtain Waterfall," and "Phoenix Tail String of Pearls," creating a picturesque scene. The most spectacular is the "Y-Shaped Waterfall," over ten meters high, with a pool five or six meters deep below, the waterfall and pool merging into one, a unique and breathtaking sight. At the end of Tanpu Gorge, sheer cliffs embrace the gorge, forming a unique "U"-shaped rift valley landscape, offering a solitary and contemplative view of the sky. In addition, the canyon is full of strangely shaped rocks, each with its own unique shape and charm, including the Peach Rock, the Slimming Rock, the Sword Testing Rock, and the Butterfly Rock.

If you want to see the sea like in Winter Sonata, this is a place definitely worth visiting and experiencing. Braving the wind and waves, listening to the sounds of the ocean, walking on the soft sand, just relaxing and daydreaming—the beauty of the mountains and the sea is something you should definitely appreciate…🌷🌷😁😁
The train ride was great, with beautiful scenery. It consists of three separate modes of transport. If you're staying on the island, taking the train might be inconvenient. Buying tickets on Ctrip and then verifying them again after the initial check wasn't very convenient; my phone couldn't retrieve the ticket. Luckily, I showed the ticket inspector my order and was allowed to take a later train.

The experience was great. There's a cable car (just a short walk to the right after entering), which is suitable for families with elderly members. The cable car is cheap at 20 yuan per person, and half price for those over 60 yuan. There's also a toboggan run. We chose the cable car because we had elderly relatives with us, and we could walk down the mountain without getting tired. Overall, a very good experience.
Thousand Buddha Mountain in Jinan: - Rich in Historical and Cultural Heritage: Thousand Buddha Mountain is one of Jinan's three major scenic spots, a blend of various cultures including the culture of Emperor Shun and Buddhism. Xingguo Temple, built in the Sui Dynasty, and Wanfo Cave, housing over 2,800 Buddhist statues from the Sui to Qing Dynasties, are located on the mountain. Lishan Academy is a Taoist architectural complex. This unique coexistence of Buddhism and Taoism allows visitors to experience a profound historical and cultural atmosphere.
- Combining Natural Landscapes with Urban Scenery: At 285 meters above sea level, Thousand Buddha Mountain is not particularly high, but from the summit, one can enjoy a 360° panoramic view of Jinan, including attractions such as Daming Lake and Baotu Spring. The scenery of "half city mountains, half city lakes" is captivating. In autumn, the mountain is ablaze with red leaves, reflecting against the ancient temples, creating a picturesque scene.
