The tranquil Jiuru Mountain in Jinan is hidden in the mountains.

It takes about two hours to drive from Zaozhuang. After arriving at the hotel and putting down our luggage, we took a walk along the mountain road. The weather was still very hot, but luckily it rained heavily at around 1:00 pm and stopped at 3:00 pm. The mountain forest was much cooler after the rain, and we had a reason to take a nap. Accommodation options We booked a "Buer Muju" room one day in advance, and chose a duplex room with a 1.8m double bed and a 1.5m sofa bed, which was enough for a family of four with two children. Of course, if you don't consider the budget, the villa with a view on all four sides is also very beautiful. The owner was very enthusiastic and was available 24/7 to answer questions. He also arranged afternoon tea for us. After a nap, we had some afternoon tea and started playing, which was very nice. Jiuru Mountain offers accommodation from the foot of the mountain to the top, including Cat's Nest, Tent Room, Haomeng Cabin, Buer Hotel, Norman Castle Hotel, and the Red Wine Barrel House at the top. I think Buer Muju is the best choice for a leisurely walk down the mountain. Of course, they have a sightseeing bus around the mountain that is available on call. Dining Breakfast is included in the hotel. We had lunch and dinner in the mountain. Lunch was at the tourist reception center, which was reasonably priced and tasted good. Of course, we are not very picky about food. Dinner was barbecue at the fireworks show square. If possible, it is best not to eat it, as it was really bad. The fruit tea next to it is also best not to drink, as it was also hard to swallow. Entertainment After eating and drinking, we went up from Buer Muju, where we basically saw small waterfalls and mountains. There are different experience officers on the road, and you can take away chocolate, wood art, candy, lipstick, naan, etc. after completing four experiences for CNY 100. Walking down from Buer Muju, children can catch fish with a fishing net. There are many small fish and some big fish about one meter long. Let's see if you can catch them. You don't have to go to the fireworks show very early at night. It is not too late to go after eating at the foot of the mountain. There is a resident singer, Ashin, who sings from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. After 8:00 pm, there will be a fireworks show and a bonfire. The fireflies released inside are very small. Overall, you can enjoy the mountain forest atmosphere at a slow pace.
