    I went there around 3:00 PM on National Day. I didn't check the schedule and just wandered around the park, catching whatever I could. I saw a performance called "Defending the Last Chicken of Langya" and a juggler. That evening, I went to see the National Show Langya, which was truly wonderful. I went straight to the Water Show. The line was incredibly long, and once inside, only seats were left at the side, but that was fine; I could see everything. I only saw the first act of Langya. I watched acts two, three, and four from the periphery. It rained intermittently, and I left the park at 9:30 AM, missing the final fireworks display.

    We went there on a rainy day, but the cave was not affected by the rain. The rafting was fun, not particularly stimulating, but easy to accept. As long as you don't have a heart disease, the elderly and children can ride it.

    The scenery along the way was not satisfactory, it felt like climbing a mountain 😂. The ticket and shuttle bus fees for the three attractions in the Yimeng Mountain Tourist Area added up to 420 yuan. It didn't feel much when I calculated it separately, but it was a lot when I finished the trip 😁.

    The site is where Wang Xizhi, the "Sage of Calligraphy," was born and lived. The park features four themed areas: Inkstone Pond Reminiscence, Flowing Stream, Sunset Glow, and Five Sages of the Ages, as well as exhibition halls dedicated to Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. It also houses famous steles from home and abroad, including the Willow Stele, the Orchid Pavilion Preface, the Seventeen Letters, and the Langya Stele.

    It's a great place to take children. The package includes a train and rafting. When you get tired of sightseeing, you can take a ride on the train for a few laps and a break from sightseeing. The kids loved the rafting and even paid for a separate trip. The cultural and creative products are just average, and there aren't any special snacks...it's all pretty much the same.

    The 5A underground canyon is certainly worth seeing, and the underground river rafting is also fun, but unfortunately the distance is a bit short. The entrance fee is a bit high, and the multiple fees make it a poor value for money. Parking at the entrance is also charged, which makes it uncomfortable. The entrance is a bit far from the main scenic area, and the scenery along this stretch isn't particularly scenic. I'm not sure why this is done this way, and the shuttle bus inside is also charged extra. Is this a tactical approach? I strongly recommend an all-inclusive admission price to avoid making visitors feel like they're being ripped off. The Firefly Water Cave itself is okay, but the walk outside the cave is extensive, and the scenery along the way is completely lacking. Furthermore, the cave has a lot of outdated, tacky installations that clearly show signs of artificiality. For example, the flowers on the hills and branches are fake, the moss on the trees is made of yarn, and there are tons of giant insect models along the way where there's no scenery to see. Honestly, if it weren't for the combined ticket, few people would have come. The Butterfly Valley is decent enough to see butterflies, but the tropical rainforest pavilion is quite average, and it's hard to say whether the fireflies in the firefly cave are real. There are extra charges everywhere, and the rafting outside the cave is a real rip-off. The scenic area also charges a separate parking fee. It's a shame. It feels like you're being ripped off. I recommend not buying a combined ticket. You can skip the Firefly Cave and visit the Grand Canyon. The rafting was nice, but the duration wasn't long enough, and the individual tickets aren't cheap.

    Guimeng Peak, at 1156 meters above sea level, is the second highest peak in Shandong Province. Climbing to the summit offers panoramic views of the rolling mountains shrouded in mist; a sunrise or sea of ​​clouds provides an even more breathtaking experience. The Mengshan Cliffside Plank Road stretches for three kilometers, offering stunning scenery and the thrill of walking along the edge of a cliff.

    I chose to climb up in winter and take the cable car down. In autumn and winter, the temperature on the mountain isn't too cold; a light down jacket is just right. The first entrance fee is free; you pay for the shuttle bus up and down. From the ticket gate to Wanghailou (Viewing the Sea Pavilion), it takes about 3 hours, with several rest stops along the way. Upon reaching Wanghailou, I saw the mountains—very beautiful mountains. I ordered a 10-yuan instant noodle dish, which was delicious with the gentle breeze at the summit 😋. Afterwards, I took photos, descended the mountain, and took the cable car (80 yuan one way). The sightseeing bus is 10 yuan one way. Parking costs 7 yuan, but the maximum charge is 12 yuan if it's outside the designated time.

    The excavation of the Haihunhou Tomb is a major achievement in the history of Chinese archaeology. Its excellent preservation, grand scale, and richness of unearthed artifacts are rare among Han Dynasty marquis-level tombs. The numerous exquisite bronzes, gold artifacts, and jade objects, especially the tens of thousands of bamboo slips and the earliest known Confucian mirror screen, not only confirm the special status of the tomb's occupant, Liu He, and the extravagant burial practices of the Western Han Dynasty, but also provide extremely valuable material for understanding the politics, economy, culture, and social life of the Han Dynasty. It possesses immense historical and artistic value, truly deserving the title of an "underground Han Dynasty museum."

    The scenic spot is very big. It takes two days to visit it. The service attitude is very good. There are clean bath towels and free health tea. The hot spring is also very clean. The buffet is very full.
