Things to do in Gaoqing

The escape routes within the traditional courtyard house are incredibly ingenious and well worth exploring. It's best to do some research beforehand, or hire a guide on-site; it will definitely be worth the trip. Security is as tight as the escape routes on a city wall; rules are as strict as the well water used by the women; the guards are as mysterious as the cabinets where bodyguards hide; and the escape routes are as ingenious as the design of hidden doors and drawbridges. While not as grand as the Wang Family Compound, nor as famous as the Qiao Family Compound, the Wei Family Manor is a system in itself, full of mysteries and intricate calculations—it's truly fascinating.

I came here mainly to see the Wei's Manor, and the ancient village is a few minutes away from the manor. Although I came during the National Day, there were not many people because the weather was cool and the temperature was suitable. I strolled around for more than 2 hours. There were different performances in different places. I strolled around while watching the performances, and it was good overall.

This is a relatively famous tourist attraction in Zibo. Because it was the National Day Golden Week, it was packed with tourists, making the already narrow streets even more congested. The streets are lined with a dazzling array of small shops, and there are also several venues to visit.

Suggest to reach in in early afternoon for a short trek around the area and catch the sunset. stay for a night to see the sunrise next day. Very beautifu & memorablel views. Great food condidered considered its so high up..

We accompanied a family member to Qilu Hospital for a medical appointment and chose this Ji Hotel. It's very close to the hospital, less than a ten-minute walk, which is very convenient. The room was clean and tidy, and the environment was quiet, allowing for a good rest. There's also a laundry and fitness area. The front desk was responsive, and check-in was smooth, making it ideal for accompanying family members to medical appointments. Most importantly, parking is convenient.

Excellent experience at the Tsingtao Beer Museum! 🍺 We learned about the history of Tsingtao Beer and got an insight into the beer production process. The best part was getting to taste the beer along with some beer nuts during the visit. A fun and interesting experience, especially for beer lovers. Definitely worth a visit when in Qingdao!

Yangkou Scenic Area isn't very strenuous, but it's mostly steps. This is especially unfriendly to people with bad knees, as the entire route is almost entirely stairs with no uphill climbing. Many people buy cable car tickets. However, buying the cable car means missing out on the opportunity to enjoy the scenery while walking. It's truly a difficult choice.

When visiting Qingzhou Ancient City, the Fucai Gate Tower is a must-see, considered the heart of the ancient city. There aren't many other attractions within the ancient city, but the tower has a great location, with convenient access via sightseeing electric carts. There are also plenty of food stalls to explore nearby.

Daming Lake holds the story of Emperor Qianlong and Xia Yuhe's "epic, tragic love" 😂 "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?"—When Emperor Qianlong toured the south, he encountered Xia Yuhe playing the zither in the Yuhe Hall, fell in love at first sight, wrote a poem and presented her with a fan, vowing that "a true friend is hard to find." However, after more than a decade apart, Yuhe fell ill with longing and died with her zither in her arms 😢 However, there is no historical record of this person; it's purely a romantic fiction by Qiong Yao. The lake shimmers, lotus flowers fill the pond, and the saying "lotuses on all four sides, willows on three" is truly fitting. The illuminated Chaoran Tower is even more breathtaking.

This was my first time visiting Baotu Spring. I went in the afternoon to avoid the crowds, so the experience wasn't too bad. The three springs were bubbling away, and the water was crystal clear. No wonder it's called the City of Springs! 👍
