Anonymous userLi Cheng, born in 919, courtesy name Xianxi, sobriquet Yingqiu, was a renowned landscape painter of the Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty. A descendant of the Tang imperial family, his grandfather Li Ding moved the family to Yingqiu (present-day Changle, Shandong) during the Five Dynasties period, hence he was also known as Li Yingqiu. Although Li Cheng was learned and ambitious, he was unable to realize his aspirations and could only devote himself to poetry, wine, calligraphy, and painting, ultimately dying a drunken death in an inn in Chenzhou. Li Cheng, along with Dong Yuan and Fan Kuan, is known as one of the "Three Masters of the Northern Song Dynasty." His landscape paintings were influenced by Jing Hao and Guan Tong, but he innovated and developed his own unique style. He favored depicting vast and expansive rural landscapes, creating the "rolling cloud texture stroke" to paint rocks, giving them a cloud-like appearance; he used the "crab claw" method to depict cold forests, with withered branches resembling crab claws, twisted and vigorous. Li Cheng's brushstrokes were sharp and he favored light ink, earning him the reputation of "cherishing ink like gold." His works successfully captured the ethereal beauty of natural landscapes amidst mist, fog, rain, and changing light and shadow, presenting a desolate atmosphere and a clear, open vista of misty forests. Representative works by Li Cheng include *Reading the Stele by the Rocks*, *Winter Forest and Plains*, and *Clear Peaks and Temples*, which had a profound influence on the development of landscape painting in the Northern Song Dynasty. Many later painters, such as Xu Daoning and Guo Xi, were his students. In short, he was a rather idle second-generation official who spent his days drinking, painting, and networking with officials and businessmen. [laughing through tears]

In today's view, it was really extravagant within the county seat.

飞奔中的狼8Qingzhou Museum is the only first-class museum in a county-level city in China. Its treasures include Buddhist statues from Longxing Temple, the only top scholar's examination paper from the Ming Dynasty in China, and the largest diameter jade bi disc from the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, which are national cultural relics with extremely high historical, artistic and cultural value!

134***35Yunmen Mountain is a more welcoming scenic area... because the steps are better constructed, and the public restrooms are more presentable than those at Tuoshan Mountain, making its overall level higher. As for the grottoes, Tuoshan's are more exquisite, but many elderly people probably prefer to see the iconic "longevity" character, as it symbolizes good fortune. Transportation is quite convenient. We hiked during the off-season, and it was easy to take a taxi back to the old town afterward.

小小导游爱旅游My dears! You must go to the Weifang Kite Museum! As soon as you enter, you will be amazed by the variety of kites. There are so many styles and the shapes are particularly unique. Not only can you see traditional kites here, but also modern innovative ones. You can learn about the history and production process of kites, and you can also experience flying in the interactive area. It's fun and knowledge-enhancing. It's worth it!

SAHARA1989This 600-year-old village is built entirely of stone. It can be slippery on rainy days, so be sure to wear appropriate shoes. I love it here. It's like stepping back hundreds of years, as if I were actually living here.

全球小超人Free admission for Shandong University alumni. Half price for children and students. The scenery is very beautiful, and transportation is convenient; it's only 5 kilometers from the highway exit. It would be even better to come in summer when there's water. The steps are well-maintained and offer a challenge, but aren't too difficult. Worth visiting again.
84.9/5M2b***q1Shouguang Polar Ocean World is a large-scale tourist complex integrating marine life viewing, pet interaction, science education, children's entertainment, and dining and leisure activities. It is also the largest single-site oceanarium in central Shandong, making it ideal for family outings. The air-conditioned venue provides a cool and comfortable atmosphere, and a single ticket covers the entire experience, making it an excellent value. The venue is fully equipped with trash cans, restrooms, and other public facilities for convenient use.

_FL***29The scenery of Tuoshan is very good. There are not many tourists climbing the mountain in the morning. There are many steps, but it is acceptable. There are platforms or pavilions to rest after climbing a section. The mountain breeze is also very comfortable. In the distance, you can see the giant Buddha composed of nine peaks, which is particularly spectacular. There are five grottoes near the top of the mountain, which are beautifully carved! Worth going!

mogujiejieThis is a disappointing scenic spot. I think you can do better. First of all, there were definitely tourists during the National Day holiday, even though it wasn't during the Vegetable Expo. There wasn't much to see, with only the 4th and 8th floors open. The facilities and services were inadequate, and the museum felt run-down, with many paths and areas locked. It didn't feel high-tech, and was just an ordinary botanical garden with little to offer. I hope they'll pay a little more attention to it during holidays.
