Free attractions in Qingzhou: Songcheng Scenic Area.
Qingzhou Songcheng is located on the banks of the Nanyang River. It is an ancient street rebuilt according to the painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and is free to visit. The photos online are very beautiful, so I came here to check it out. I came here in the evening, and the lights were not on yet. The surrounding area was relatively desolate, and there were not many tourists. There were some small games at the entrance, which are more suitable for children. There are several small shops nearby that take photos in ancient costumes. The environment and style are also suitable for taking photos. If you are interested, you can come and have a look.
Overall feeling: It is about a 20-minute walk from the ancient city. The scenery is average during the day. I don't know if the lights will be on at night. It is not very lively. If you don't have much time, I don't recommend coming here alone.

Coming to Qingzhou, this ancient civilization holy place gives people the first impression that the road is flat and the city is very clean and tidy. Different from the tarmac road cement roads that can be seen everywhere in the city, the roads in many places in Qingzhou City are stone roads, which are very ancient, which makes people feel like they have entered the history of Qingzhou.
