Things to do in Pizhou

Aishan Scenic Area is like a bright pearl hidden in Zaozhuang, Shandong. When you first arrive here, you will be attracted by its unique natural scenery. Driving to the scenic area, the road is shaded by trees and the scenery is pleasant. After arriving, climb up the winding mountain road and find that the strangely shaped rocks are scattered on both sides of the road, like the magic of nature. Climbing to the top of the mountain, looking far away, the surrounding mountains are rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. The strange stones in Aishan Scenic Area are one of its major features. They are like ancient beasts crouching or immortals playing chess, with various shapes and lifelike. The most spectacular one is the "Stone Forest Maze". Being in it, it seems to have entered a fantasy world of stone. Walking in the scenic area, the ancient trees are towering, and the birdsong in the forest is endless, adding a bit of tranquility and mystery. In a quiet valley, a hidden underground canyon was also discovered. The stalactites in the canyon were upside down, and the streams were gurgling, forming a natural underground painting. Aishan not only has natural wonders, but also rich cultural landscapes. Longshun Temple, Dasheng Temple and other ancient monuments carry a heavy historical and cultural heritage for tourists to explore and feel. The teahouse on the mountainside is also unique. Tasting local special snacks and feeling the mountain tea rhyme are leisurely and comfortable. The only slight shortcoming is that the facilities in some areas of the scenic area are slightly old, the signs are not clear enough, the scale of the tourist service center is small, and the services provided are limited. But overall, Aishan Scenic Area, with its unique natural landscape and profound cultural heritage, has brought me an unforgettable visual feast and spiritual journey.

This town is located east of Xuzhou and is currently undergoing expansion. There aren't many tourists, probably because there's an entrance fee. It's okay to stop by for a quick visit, but not worth making a special trip for.

This ancient canal town has a rich history, but the scenic area doesn't quite showcase that history well enough; it feels somewhat superficial. The scenery is quite nice, but the ticket price is really expensive for tourists from other places, making it not very cost-effective.

The Time Tunnel, located in the suburbs of Pizhou, is a scenic spot formed by ginkgo trees in the golden autumn season. There is a small service area here, which is basically only open in autumn. The scenic area provides camping tents, catering and related facilities. In the golden autumn season, the place is golden and the ginkgo trees are arranged like a dreamy time tunnel. However, have you ever seen the time tunnel in winter? The rows of ginkgo trees, with fallen leaves all over the ground, still have a kind of withered bone beauty.

How could I possibly miss a trip to Mount Tai in my lifetime? And since I was there, how could I not challenge myself at night? I climbed to the top in over four hours, then huddled around like a beggar, finding places to sleep, hahaha, what an amazing experience!

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!

The scenic area boasts pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water, creating a beautiful landscape. Weeping willows sway along the lake, and the lake water ripples gently. Attractions such as the Five Pavilion Bridge, Xu Garden, and the Twenty-Four Bridges each have their own unique features. I also enjoyed watching the live performance "More Than Just March in Yangzhou," which is highly recommended and deserves praise.

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.

The biggest surprise of my trip to Xuzhou was undoubtedly the Guishan Han Tomb, absolutely worth a special trip. The ancients carved this Chu king's mausoleum into the mountainside, a feat of engineering that is truly astonishing. The long, straight, and orderly passageway, with its tightly joined stones, showcases the superb craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty artisans. The tomb chambers are clearly divided into functional areas, and the dense chisel marks on the stone walls are all imprints left from two thousand years ago. The guide's engaging explanations of the tomb's occupant's story and the fascinating legends surrounding the stone walls' illusions keep the experience entertaining. A visit to the Imperial Edict Museum is also included, with its impressive collection. The overall tour is of moderate length and not too tiring; history buffs shouldn't miss this place.

A beautiful place to visit, lots of photos opportunities and welcoming people.
