Xinglong Cultural Park.

On the weekend, a couple checked in at Xinglong Tower Cultural Park in Yanzhou. The cultural park is located in the Xinglong Tower area of the old city, and the main buildings include Lingguang Baodian, Jingxin Garden, Guanyin Garden, Xinglong Temple, etc. The core building in the area is Lingguang Baodian. Lingguang Baodian is 118 meters high. The base is based on the concept of Buddhist altar city. The upper part of the golden bottle is based on the only unearthed relic golden bottle found in the underground palace of Xinglong Tower in Yanzhou. The main function is to enshrine the true relic of the Buddha's top bone for tourists to worship and pray for blessings. It is a pity that the true relics of the Buddha's bones were not opened this time, and I could only look at the majestic, majestic, and golden world-respecting standing on the top of the city. From the golden and brilliant relic golden bottle, the symbolic national peace and the heavenly king's protector, to the majestic Lingguang Baodian, the Guanyin water method that rises and sprinkles sweet dew at auspicious times, and then to the mysterious underground palace, the unearthed rare national treasure of the thousand-year-old ancient tower Xinglong Tower, exquisite modern art creation and solemn and long history are reflected in each other.

Oriental Awesomeness

Been to this play in Jining, Shandong and loved it. The play apparently is quite famous, and had the chance to take a picture with one of the main actors (he played the bad guy). The story of a girl who left her home to be a scholar (something that only boys did) and blablabla, love and hate, fight and peace, and a happy ending in a musical sort of fashion. Simply loved it.#theatre #china

Check-in Experience|Merlon Hotel Wuyue Plaza Store This is my first stay at the Merlon Hotel under the Huazhu Group

|Merlon Hotel Wuyue Plaza Store This is my first stay at the Merlon Hotel under the Huazhu Group. Check-in Experience|Merlon Hotel Wuyue Plaza Store This is my first stay at the Merlon Hotel under the Huazhu Group, and the room type for this stay is a superior king room The entrance to the office building is not very easy to find, the hotel lobby is located on the fourth floor of the office building on the north side of Wuyue Plaza, and you need to take the elevator directly to the fourth floor for check-in and check-out. The gym, self-service laundry room, and restaurant are all on the fourth floor, and there is a convenience store, commercial street, and shopping mall downstairs. The room is on the eighth floor, not very spacious, equipped with a safe, a small refrigerator, and the complimentary drink for gold members is mineral water, the provided drinking water is ordinary bottled water, in addition there are some standard tea bags and coffee, the mattress is of moderate softness, equipped with electric curtains The bathroom is equipped with a smart toilet, and the shower has both a rain shower and a handheld showerhead. The hotel offers breakfast for 48r/portion, which is a standard for Huazhu, I guess. The view from the north window is a construction site, and the view from the south window is the rooftop of Wuyue Plaza and the street scene of Yunhe Road. As a high-end hotel under Huazhu, personally, I feel it's not as comfortable as some budget hotels like Ji Hotel, but the price is also matched with the check-in experience, I suppose.

Step into Taibai Tower | Immerse yourself in the cultural atmosphere of Li Bai

As a native who has lived in Jining for more than twenty years, this was my first visit to Taibai Tower. Taibai Tower was originally known as 'Taibai Tavern', a tavern operated by the Helan family during the Tang Dynasty. Its original location was inside the east gate of ancient Rencheng (near today's Xiaozhakou). The great Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai moved with his wife Xu Shi and daughter Pingyang from Anlu in Hubei to Rencheng (Jining) in the 24th year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign (736 AD), living in front of the tavern, 'often feasting with comrades in the tavern'. Taibai Tower is located on the north bank of the ancient canal, north of Taibai Middle Road, and is named after Li Bai, who often drank and composed poetry here. After many reconstructions over the generations, its fame has lasted for more than a thousand years, and it is one of the eight ancient scenic spots of Rencheng (now Jining). ⏰Opening Hours: 9:00--17:30 (Closed on Mondays) 🎫Admission: Free, no reservation required

Jining Dongda Temple

A temple, a city ||📍Jining Dongda Temple (Mosque🕌️) Jining Dongda Temple, commonly known as "Shunhe Dongda Temple" because it is located by the ancient canal. It covers an area of 7,200 square meters, with a building area of 4,234 square meters. Dongda Temple was founded during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Muslims raised funds to rebuild it, resulting in a grand architectural scale. It was further restored with iron bestowed by Emperor Qianlong during the Qianlong period, reaching its current scale. It is one of the five major ancient Islamic mosques in China, along with Jining Xida Temple, Nanjing Jingjue Temple, Xi'an Huajue Temple, and Lanzhou Qiaomen Street Mosque, and is especially known as the most spectacular, ranking first among the five major mosques. In 2006, it was approved by the State Council and announced as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In November 2009, it was rated as a national 3A-level tourist attraction.

Jining Exhibition Viewing | The permanent exhibitions at the new museum are not as good as this temporary one

The new building of the Jining City Museum looks grand, trendy, and modern from the outside, very impressive indeed, but it's located in a remote area, the staff attitude is poor, and the exhibition design is not user-friendly, meticulous, professional, or reasonable. After visiting, I was quite frustrated, but I'll share some highlights from the mess, so you don't have to go there and feel aggrieved. After seeing everything, it was actually the temporary exhibition on the second floor that left the most lasting impression. 🗺️First, let's talk about the location🗺️ The new building of the Jining City Museum is located in the Tai Bai Lake New District Cultural Center in Jining City, which is relatively far from the downtown area. This area actually has a lot of urban functional buildings like museums and libraries, but they are hard to find. I can't describe it clearly, so just leave it to fate. The special exhibition 'Fucheng Han Charm' is on the second floor, in a square independent space, which is relatively easy to find. 🖼️Overall Impression🖼️ The exhibition is likely a swap between the Mianyang City Museum in Sichuan Province and the Jining City Museum, featuring Han Dynasty relics from there. Since both cities have representative Han Dynasty cultural relics, the exhibition is a comparative special exhibition that uses a historical cross-section as the method of presentation. ⚱️Worth Paying Attention To⚱️ 1️⃣The 'Hejia Mountain Money Tree No. 2' is nearly two meters tall, very exquisite. The trunk represents the earth, and the canopy is full of coins, with a series of scenes centered around the worship of the Queen Mother of the West, and it's very well preserved, definitely worth seeing. 2️⃣Many stone carving rubbings. The themes they depict are very down-to-earth, and so is the style, with things like 'Dog Catching a Mouse' and the 'Xuanwu' that looks like a big dinosaur🦕, quite curious. 3️⃣There's also a rich collection of pottery figurines and statues, representing animals, people, and daily life, all reflecting prosperity. 4️⃣Bronze tools and lacquerware for daily use are mainly ritual vessels but also functional. (This is my understanding, haha) 📝To Summarize📝 During the Han Dynasty, Taoism was the mainstream religion, and people believed in immortals rather than Buddha, which is very characteristic of the era. Later, when Buddhism was introduced, it quickly became mainstream, so Han Dynasty relics are very expressive of Taoist beliefs and folk content, and are worth a look~

You don't have to go far in Jining to appreciate the stunning cherry blossoms

Enjoying the cherry blossoms no longer requires a trip to Japan or Wuhan‼️ Because here at 📍Yuhuang Road in Jining, you can fully experience the joy of local cherry blossom viewing! The cherry blossoms on Yuhuang Road have bloomed, and for this, I have prepared an overnight guide to cherry blossom viewing on Jining Yuhuang Road to share with everyone. The viewing period is from March 15th to April 10th, and the best viewing time is coming up soon, during the peak bloom. Additionally, it is recommended to visit from Monday to Friday to avoid the weekend crowds. 🌸🌸🌸 ⭐Highlights Yuhuang Road - Cherry Blossom Avenue is the main viewing spot. It is located on Yuhuang Road, starting from Yunhe Road in the east and reaching Jianshe Bridge Road in the west, with a total length of about 2000 meters. This avenue has chosen the early-blooming Yoshino cherry variety as its street trees, with more than 4600 Yoshino cherry trees planted, creating the magnificent scenery of 'Cherry Blossom Avenue'. 📸 Photography Tips 1. Before 9 am and after 4 pm, when the sunlight is sufficient, it's suitable for portrait photography, but be mindful of the traffic. 2. Taking photos at the Yuhuang Road sign is amazing! First, take a panoramic shot, then crop it in post-production for a secondary composition. It is suggested to wear light-colored clothing, or traditional Hanfu for check-ins, and choose a refreshing background, capturing only the cherry blossoms and the sky for a stunning effect! 3. After daytime photography, you can visit the nearby Jining Polytechnic diversion spot to enjoy some delicious food, and then continue taking photos in the afternoon when the light is also beautiful. 🚗 Transportation Tips It is recommended to drive, as parking on the roadside is relatively convenient. If you choose public transportation, you can take bus 20 or 87 and get off at the Jihe Bus Interchange Bridge station, and it's just a four to five-minute walk. ⚠️ Important Notes Please take your trash with you and protect the ecological environment. We love nature and call on everyone to not litter when going out, to protect the city we live in. 🌸🌸🌸
